Steven BeschlossYes, there are too many malignant narcissists and sociopaths in positions of power. But the bigger problem is the number of voters drawn to them and enablers cheering them on.
tienle47@StevenBeschloss You got a formula for breaking the appeal of malignant narcissists to the average human? Especially those with low self-esteem?
CJ PalomaThe folks who fall for these types tend to support authoritarian beliefs, which include hierarchy.
But authoritarianism is also *learned* as evidenced by varying rates of its acceptability in different countries.
Belief in hierarchy starts early with gender norms- (among other categories) If we grow healthier men, we WILL have a healthier world.
Continuing to allow RWNJs to define masculinity as being "alpha" is a huge part of our collective problems.
