Meet the Malignant Narcissist

Remind you of anyone?

Guest Post by Jesse

“A personality disorder characterized by grandiosity; an expectation that others will recognize one’s superiority; a lack of empathy, lack of truthfulness, and the tendency to degrade others.”

“Narcissism becomes particularly malignant (i.e. malevolent, dangerous, harmful, incurable) when it goes beyond mere vanity and excessive self-focus. Malignant narcissists not only see themselves as superior to others but believe in their superiority to the degree that they view others as relatively worthless, expendable, and justifiably exploitable.

This type of narcissism is a defining characteristic of psychopathy/sociopathy and is rooted in an individual’s deficient capacity for empathy. It’s almost impossible for a person with such shallow feelings and such haughtiness to really care about others or to form a conscience with any of the qualities we typically associate with a humane attitude, which is why most researchers and thinkers on the topic of psychopathy think of psychopaths as individuals without a conscience altogether.”

“There is nothing about the man that is service-oriented. He’s only serving himself.”

Looks like both candidates have the same condition, but that worthless cunt Hillary got two scoops of this disorder. Hillary for prison!

“A personality disorder characterized by grandiosity… and the tendency to degrade others.”
You’re part way there.
The “Malignant Narcissist” is actually much worse. For example, they live by the magical WORD: the belief that a fact can be made to disappear or come into existence merely by uttering a magical word; or by maintaining a silence or blindness in the presence of unwanted facts.
These people will DIE OR KILL rather than allow such facts to “exist” in their presence or brain; I mean, if they have brain.
These people are generally known as “controllers”; and where they exercise authority, they will use that power to maintain the “reality” of their fictions.
If destruction of Western Civilization is required to maintain their fictions, so be it. They will even destroy their own children to safeguard their fictions.
Where there are a million people who live by the WORD, there you have the psychological foundation for tyranny: rule by terror.
We would do well, and save an enormous amount of energy and resources if we learn how to identify these people; and leave them to their self-destructive habits. (http://redressone.wordpress.com/cults/)

DC Sunsets, I think that’s “real” or whatever passes for reality today.

I thought I had seen it all, but apparently I hadn’t. Sigh.

I think I made the case, very convincingly, I might add, in a post here several years ago lining out point by point the case for Obama being 1) a malignant narcissist and 2) a sociopath. Admin can dig it up. I saved it by that was several computers ago.

I had one of these as a business partner many years ago. It was HORRIBLE. She hid a lot of her pathology successfully from the rest of us for several years but when things started falling apart in her personal life (husband asked for divorce, son dropped out of college, etc), she went right off the rails. I left, took a finanical hit to do so, but fared better than the rest of the partners who ended up totally broke with lawsuits all over the place.

My advice if you find yourself in the same zip code with a malignant narcissist – flee flee flee.
