Liberalism and NPD: Part II
Why Liberals Hate Capitalism
In my previous post, I attempted to show how the actions and beliefs of liberals fit the diagnostic mould of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In today's post, I would like to explore how various NPD diagnostic criteria might explain one liberal constant: their utter contempt and hatred for capitalism. The fact that liberals will side with anyone, from communist thug dictators to Islamofascists as long as they are anti or non capitalist is proof enough of their hatred.
You will recall from the previous post that in the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or DSM IV-R), psychiatry's bible for the diagnosis of mental illness, the emphasis for a diagnosis of NPD shifted from grandiosity to lack of empathy.
DSM IV-R, criterion 7 puts it this way: (7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others. While clinicians are divided as to whether or not this lack of empathy is volitional (in other words, whether the NPD actually lacks the mental faculty of empathy or whether he simply refuses to use it) for our purposes, the difference is unimportant. What is important for our purposes is that if liberals really are unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others, then they are completely unsuited for life in a capitalist system.

pretty dead freaking on statement.
Very interesting. I've always thought that the primary reason liberals hate capitalism is because they don't want anyone else having more than they have. I suppose by extension of that (being self-centered) they would also have a lack of empathy for others.
I found this to be very interesting. I went to a search to see if anyone has suspected liberals as being NPD as a basis for actual identification. This item 7 of the revised DSM-4 is really where I suggest the real brain damage occurs. Liberals & Narcissist alike are very afraid of reality. They don't understand reality and live out their entire lives in a fantasy that they reinforce and guard at other's expense. They can't deal with disagreements and perceive them as personal attacks on their characters. So they use the only thing that keeps them from going crazy. They control anyone that will allow them to be controlled by them, They discard and destroy anyone that will not allow them to be controlled. This is known as Narcissistic Supply.
If the NPD needs to destroy a potential supply person they almost always check to see if they can use them for Secondary Supply purposes first. But all this is their way of protecting their fake life and fake world that they perceive as reality. It's not the grandiose ego trip that defines the left. It's the fear of being discovered as a fake, afraid, and confused about reality person that must take control of others in order to cause a crisis that will always change the discussion.
Hillary lost after they all said she would win. So obviously a crisis is needed to change the subject. Trump is the target of people that are scared to face the fact that they don't know how to relate to real people. So the truth and what people on the right really stand for are subjected to secondary narcissistic supply by the leftist control freaks. The trick with these phonies is to make them see what real people and real lives and life is really about.
The very best advice out there is that you can't save a Narcissist. They can't actually handle the truth because they see disagreement as a personal attack on their fake reality.
There is an argument to be made for NPD and liberalism. Our schools are all about reinforcing the notion that the fake world of the liberal is the real world. Children are trained to be secondary narcissistic supply even if there are no real narcissists in their lives. Our schools are deliberately set up as control mechanisms.
It is no wonder that much of the news is fake. It comes from people that live out their entire lives in a self controlled fantasy.
Item 7 is the real brain damage and source of abuse of the NPD and is completely significant in describing liberal motivation.
I hope this aspect of NPD and liberalism gains traction. The fake crisis in our media needs to be recognized for what it really is. It's just scared people changing the subject and pretending to use guilt, shame, and anger as the tools to manipulate the unaware.
The subject is Hillary lost when the experts declared her Queen. In this case the messengers where liars. But they didn't want to admit that they lied to everyone. So we got an instant crisis to take our minds off of the reality of the massive mistake. It's just typical NPD manipulation.
Now it's destroy Trump at all costs. Trump is way past his usefulness as a supporter of their secondary narcissistic supply needs. He knows they are fake and represent fantasy. He must be silenced.
The bottom line is this. Liberals are afraid that anyone will see that they can't relate to real life. It is very dangerous to try to get them to see reality for what it is. They will attack anyone that is not a form of supply that they can control.
There are great Youtube videos on understanding the NPD and the newly emerging NVD, (Narcissistic Victim Disorder)
