@DrALJONES why do you feel attacked & assume i must be criticising you personally, or even the representative in the article?
these posts are read by hundreds or even thousands of ppl. i am replying to anyone reading your posts in general, pointing to the waste of energy & time it is to keep discussing details of a dying system.
there is no changing it, there's no reform that will do anything structural bc the whole system is fundamentally toxic. it's literally build to become fascistic.
Re "I am replying to anyone reading your posts in general"
That amounts to treating other posters as vassels, not as persons.
Another reason why people are rendered unconscious when treated that way.
Yes, of course I understand that. I'm in the same headspace.
It's not easy to remain empathic. But we have no choice.
Yes, the technofeudalists that now run the place have malignant narcissism, aka, narcissistic psychopathy. It's exponentially more dangerous than common-or-garden narcissism.
Once typically marginalised by their communities, these fascistic psychopaths have used the internet - for all its goods - to identify each other & organise to the point of destroying life as we've known it.
Traits 👇
@DrALJONES i am halfway through a degree crim/psy plus i have decades lived experience with toxic partners so i know a bit myself.
i don't think it's helpful to criminalise ppl with #clusterB-PDs, i have bpd myself & am constantly criminalised & outcast.
i do think ppl should be held to account for their behaviour at all times tho. just with love & care.
i know, kinda hard when ppl are mass murdering others, but human rights are also applicable to frump & co.
I take your point, but wonder about "criminalised", given that the term applies to criminal behaviour, not to diagnoses of disorders.??
From my pov, it's about separating harmful behaviour from the person. Rights apply to the person, not the behaviour
@DrALJONES
ppl like me who never had a chance in hell from the get-go to master the skill of regulating emotions & behaviour bc they've only ever been abused & neglected are being judged at face-value just like everyone else.
that means i get criminalised instantly the second i lose my rag. i am saying that ppl need educating on these behaviours, & importantly, taught to take account for their own behaviour in a conflict situation.
my motto is: change the world, start with your self.
Yes, understand. I've been there. I guess you've heard of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). i found it useful.
As you know, the essence of patriarchy is bullying & punishment. It has no other way of treating people, and the most vulnerable suffer the most.
@DrALJONES yes, i am on the endless waitinglist for #DBT.
well, patriarchy, capitalism, fascism & the construct of hierarchy are all coming from narcissistic tendencies in ppl.
i am developing a theory & philosophy about the most balanced way to organise society & ppls individual lives so that humanity as a collective can flourish and grow psychologically, emotionally & physicality to reach its full potential.

Re "narcissistic tendencies"
Yes, humanity has narcissistic tendencies, but they're treatable (including self-help strategies).
My key point is that psychopathy is different. That is the root of Trump's deliberately malicious material harm: murders, wars, climate denial, criminality, etc, etc, etc.
Suggest check out the Fallon video.
The set of billionaires and the set of psychopaths overlap substantially.
1-2% in the general population; much higher, eg, 15% among professions such as law, CEOs, finance, etc.
Pretty high among surgeons...
As to capitalism, aka, late-stage patriarchy, of course.
Re "isn’t confident and logical and feels they can be honest"
Hmm. Try "compulsive liars", "callous", "manipulative", etc. for psychopaths - not to be mistaken for cool-headed, logical, honest ppl!
