Do you actually believe these things or do you just say them to try to get a rise out of people because I've never been able to work that one
Those are not just hot button topics, but also a litmus test for covertly hiding fascists in liberal sheep skin.
It's evident that the your not interested in a genuine exchange of ideas or healthy debate. By rapidly switching topics and using them as shields rather than points of discussion, you're clearly employing tactics like deflecting and deceiving. These types of methods serve to derail the conversation and assert dominance rather than contribute meaningfully.
Classic case of using hot-button issues not to educate or enlighten but to create an 'in-group' and outcast those who question or differ. This approach isn't just unproductive; it's an attempt to manipulate the discourse for personal gratification rather than collective understanding.
Recognizing these tactics is the first step in not falling victim to them and maintaining the integrity of the discussion
Best not to analyse me psychologically.
You are engaging in a deflective, ignorant and intellectually compromised behaviour when you talk about me without knowing the context of the discussion. You have reactionary, immature behaviour and gaslighting personality traits, a sign of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
Recognising the pseudointellectual hipsters of society is very important in order to shutdown their contextless liberal rants and libel.
The context of the discussion is socialist left geopolitics, and it is funny your account is exclusively made 8 hours ago to smear me, having just 5 comments, all targeted towards me. You are sent by GrapheneOS/Daniel Micay to do this, to manufacture unsubstantiated drivel about me, even though the discussion is regarding geopolitics, when that clown called me a "Chinese government paid agent" and "CCP agent" on Reddit and Twitter.
TheAnonymouseJoker, your quick attempt to diagnose me with "a sign of" narcissistic personality disorder is intriguing yet notably speculative, especially given the absence of clinical credentials. Your use of the term NPD, while it carries a semblance of authority, comes off as more titular than substantively medical. It's a bit tautological to emphasize 'NPD' so explicitly, as it seems redundant in this context.
In the realm of professional psychology, NPD is far from being a mere collection of observable behaviors. It's a complex condition that involves a deep-seated pattern of grandiosity, a sustained need for admiration, and a notable lack of empathy. This encompasses traits like exaggerated self-importance, fantasies of extraordinary success and power, a belief in one's uniqueness, an unquenchable desire for admiration, and an exploitative approach in interpersonal relations. These are not surface-level traits but ingrained patterns evident across various contexts.
Your confident stance in assigning such a diagnosis without professional backing seems to reflect the very characteristics of NPD β a sense of overinflated authority and a propensity to exploit diagnostic terms for personal gain in an argument, especially in a discussion thatβs meant to be about geopolitics. This approach of using psychological analysis as a tool to discredit others doesn't contribute to the topic at hand. Ironically, this behavior mirrors some of the core symptoms of NPD itself, leading to a reflective moment where one must consider if this projection is not an unconscious self-reflection of one's own potential disorder.
