  • Egomaniac sure. But it’s important to recognize and come to terms with at may very well be an underlying pathology. The man’s behavior set fits in neatly with Cluster B personality disorder. Narcissist type.

    We’ve become far to accustomed to calling non diagnosable behavior by a would be diagnosis: oh I’m OCD about this, ADHD much? to someone who is distracted, oh he’s vain so he’s such a narcissist. That’s not how any of this works.

    The pathology of Cluster B is just functional enough to not be institutionalized. But barely. Borderlines find themselves there most often due to their self destructive tendencies.

    Look at the behaviors:

    1. Elaborate construction of false realities
    2. perceived enemies of focus, it’s almost like they need an enemy to focus their vitriol
    3. No blame of their own, (see 2.)
    4. outwardly destructive to anyone who contradicts or attempts to dismantle the false reality
    5. spiteful doubling down when you tell them they’re wrong
    6. revelling in power over scenarios and subsequent exploitation where applicable
    7. lack of empathy
    8. delusions of grandeur, self-importance
    9. Unabated need for admiration




  • I don’t get it. Why do they even care about protesting on campus? It’s what students do, and is protected by the first amendment. The entire over reaction feels like a spite move but even so, who is that emotionally invested in it to feel spiteful? I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around the investment in this campaign. Rubio even spewed vitriolic rage on the topic. Again, it makes no sense.

    The appropriate disagreement response, in Old America, would be: who cares? Maybe in tandem with an eye roll.
