Thanks for the ping! I had to laugh remembering when my son was in DC doing an internship a few years ago and John Kerry ran right into him coming out of a restaurant in Georgetown. My son is just about as tall as Kerry, so he knew Kerry saw him, but Kerry didn’t say excuse me or anything. My son said he had this arrogant look on his face that made him want to punch Kerry’s lights out....LOL!
Why are so many narcissist navel gazers liberal and leftist? Could it be an unconscious reaction to so much collective/marxist thought? The shadow side of leftism? Since marxism preaches that the collective is more important than the individual...they try to distinguish/separate themselves from the collective by compulsively focusing on self. ??
On the flip side..conservatives,for the most part, believe in individualism and freedom, so therefore have less of a ‘shadow problem’ in that regard. Since we see people as individuals first and foremost..the tendency to navel gaze is not as great because we don’t feel lost in the collective mindset.
Just thinking aloud...lol.
