Narcissistic personality disorder - symptoms include excessive disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement and will project themselves as the kindest, most generous people and everyone and anyone who disagrees with will usually be called manipulative, narcissistic themselves and any other term that projects their own behavior.
At the same time they have a diminished or non existent capacity to feel the pain of others. This often leaves them baffled as to why you’re upset or angry by their behaviour. Delusions of grandeur and persecuted victimhood are nearly impossible to dislodge as they form the core of narcissistic identity. When shared on a large scale, they fuel virulent socio-political movements that lead to destruction. Some may engage in activism or social movements, leading to them being perceived as selfless and empathetic. They may be more motivated by praise and validation, rather than by a genuine interest in helping others.
Anyone who has ever had to deal with a real life narcissist or sociopath, whether a boss, friend, family member, or romantic partner will recognizes the above traits well.
Israel is pathological in its lies, gaslighting, victim blaming, lack of empathy, etc. Settler colonialism is collective narcissism. Israel is torn between needing to be loved and adored by all, special victim status at the forefront; and being the global north’s lions of the Middle East, forcing western civilisation on the rampaging barbaric hordes of primitive tribes. They want to occupy, ethnic cleanse and genocide without a single push back. That is entitlement and narcissism of the worst calibre. The dichotomy is unsustainable.
Israelis suffer from collective narcissism and a shared psychosis which is visible to everyone but them. Narcissism develops blindness in the person, and the person does not see their own mistakes. According to them, it is them against the world.
I grew up thinking narcissists were just insufferably vain people, nothing to be concerned about. But people with Narcissistic personality disorder are dangerous psychopaths who will destroy your life and soul and what is really worrying and disturbing our very own Government is also a narcissistic psychopath! Power in the hands of a narcissist together with media power, social media, is a vicious cocktail. You've been warned.
