There’s a reason narcissists don’t learn from mistakes and that’s because they never get past the first step, which is admitting that they made one. It’s always an assistant’s fault, an adviser’s fault, a lawyer’s fault. Ask them to account for a mistake any other way and they’ll say, “What mistake?”

Robert Hogan (b. 1937) American psychologist
Quoted in Jeffrey Kluger, The Narcissist Next Door, ch. 6 (2014)

Seeing a lot of #deflection about the #genAI #slopware in #FLOSS from #RedHat-adjacent profiles these days.

The question now:

Will the average #MAGA supporter, who opposes American military #interventionism as a core belief, now fall in line behind #Trump, or notice how they are idiot victims of a confidence game?

When MAGA fused with #Qanon in disgust with elite #pedophile rings, was that genuine? Or was it an "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" #Goebbels trick?

Do #zombies grow brains?

Was it all a lying game of #deflection from their own malice?
