Scientists wonder why there is a plague of narcissism among Millennials. Stories here.

Some traits of narcissists: entitlement, blaming others for their own poor decisions, getting violent, verbally or physically, with people who disagree with them.

Attempting to scratch an ‘itch’ inspired by the infinite via finite methods leads to ever increasing “push” into methods and techniques that warp the perception of reality. Killing conscience in this way leads to all manner of ‘things’ involving perversion.

Narcissists are self-centered, thus in their intense examination of ‘self,’ can and do imagine that other people must be as obsessed by thoughts of the pompous ‘self’ as the egoist is with him or herself. This is why the self-centered person can easily imagine that he or she is the target of persecution and hatred by others, in the following case, by millions of evil white racists whose obsessive thoughts and sole aim in life is to cause the self-pitying author to suffer. According to the paranoid narcissist:

"Racialized people experience systemic discrimination on a daily basis, on many levels, and in ways that white people may never encounter. The whole point of these safe spaces is to remove that power dynamic. That's partly what makes them spaces for healing. The presence of any kind of privilege puts unnecessary pressure on the people of colour to defend any anger or frustrations they have, to fear the outcome of sharing their stories..."

Lurking beneath the paranoid suggestion that ‘racialized people’ need ‘safe spaces’ because of so-called ‘systemic discrimination’ by evil white racists is scapegoating.

A scapegoat is a person or group of people made to take the blame for everything that goes wrong. In practice, it occurs when the guilty project their own sins upon another person or group of people.
