good post.
"Anything that is grievance based (meaning a movement), leads to violence and death."
Ominous indeed. For those who haven’t watched the video, the interviewee makes the point that both Nazism and Communism started as victimhood movements, and here we are in Me Too and BLM, etc. He also states that such movements have a tendency towards violence.
He lost me on gender roles. There’s a huge biological component there, it is not just about society setting expectations.
Thank you. Very interesting. Accurate. If a person lacks love and empathy, then he will become selfish, aggressive complainers. Some call is diabolical narcissism where a person is stuck in blaming and absent of empathy. The need for covid masks brought out people like this everywhere. “Wear a mask!!!” says the taco person, dental receptionist, school counselor, and supermarket shopper. Mask pushers have no empathy for people with asthma.
He is talking about what trauma psychologists call the victim-perpetrator dichotomy. In the traumatic event the persons involved identify with the roles of both the victim and the perpetrator and begin to organize their interior reality based on that fusion. That is why identification with the victim can lead to aggression— The victim posture is essentially an angry one and can trigger re-enactment of the perpetrator, or aggressor role. Recovery comes in enabling the person to eschew both roles as a false dichotomy and resume relating based on love and attachment. To a large extent, narcissism is a different issue, appearing because it also is a platform for aggression but lacks the qualities of the victim posture.
