I can’t say if this is legit, or just internet-pseudo-psychology, but it seems to explain everything from Obama’s constant hostility toward those who disagree with him, to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, to #BlackLivesMatter #YesAllWomen and #SpoiledCollegeBrats, down to the behavior of comment-trolls.
That fairly describes most politicians and elected-officials (there is a difference); community organizers; self-appointed pundits; and the general rabble of both Parties and of both Left and the Right. Add to that Narcissism and self-serving Mendacity.
A book on the same subject is one by F. Scott Peck, “People Of The Lie”. Very scary book.
‘Looking kike the victim while being the perpetrator’ along with ‘The theory doesn’t fit the reality’ pretty much sum up Progressive ‘thought’. The fact is that Progressivism is fundamentally flawed in that they don’t recognize that Humans are part of the natural world, and so governed by the laws of the universe. The Left hates science, because it exposes their flaws. It’s more than past time someone pointed out that Progressivism is a psychopathic disorder, and will ultimately lead to the extinction of the Human race. (Hey, I just did).
The worst part is the progressives “think” they know science better than anyone else
“…but aligns perfectly with the toxic person’s agenda to always look like the victim while actually being the perpetrator”
Another more apt example seems to be a religious person claiming to be discriminated against because they are not allowed to discriminate
Re: 5)
Yep. Perfect analogy for Islam.
little letter mike illustrates the point perfectly: Toxic gays bully and bring down the state to punish and bankrupt Christian businesses, then claim that the slight inconvenience going to a different business would have caused them makes the Toxic Gays the real victims.
This just reminds me that the term “micro-aggression” is self-referential — i.e., to accuse someone of it is a micro-aggression in itself.
If someone’s throat swells up to the point that they’re nearly asphyxiating because of a tiny grain of peanut-dust, we don’t say that the proteins in the peanut are “micro-aggressors“; we say that the person’s immune system hugely overreacted to a “trigger” substance that is completely harmless to almost everyone else.
In other words, the trendy term “trigger” at least avoids implying a deliberate attempt to offend, and leaves open the theoretical possibility of hyper-sensitivity on the part of the Victim. But “micro-aggression” effectively absolves the Offended Party of any personal responsibility for old-fashioned concepts like heroic stoicism.
PS. In case anyone wants to argue that “stoicism” is somehow a Patriarchal Relic, allow me to say:
“Go read Anne of Green Gables, loser. Girl was stoic as all get-out — that’s why the books have a cult following in Japan.”
It describes BPD.
Having had a sociopath sibling gave me insight into the political field. I can pick them out easily now.
