Is it me or does anyone else suspect Moore had the snot beaten out of him frequently during his childhood? |
Actually, Moore was probably the school bully who beat up the smart and rich kids just for being smart and rich.
His mother had to hire a pair of rodeo clowns to keep him distracted so she could get the groceries from the car into the house.:-)
I think you're on to something there.
I've seen this kind of behavior before, many times. Mostly it involves people who were not popular with their peers, and especially with the opposite gender.
They compensate for their lack of popularity by cultivating within themselves a false sense of superiority, which often manifests itself externally as a kind of pseudo-intellectualism that is used to attack and belittle those persons and institutions they secretly regard as superior to themselves.
When such a person receives the acclaim (and cash) that has been heaped on Moore in the last few months by his enablers, the nagging inferiority complex can be lessened somewhat. But in its place, delusions of grandeur and a sense of invulnerability to consequenses can occur, as we are now witnessing.
As a side note, Moore's subordinates are probably treated like sub-humans by their self-styled "media god" - it fits the profile.
In the end, when Moore's extremism and messages of blind hatred begin to grate on the ears of the general public and people no longer sit in rapt attention to his tantrums, what we can look forward to is his own self destruction.
