No mention of stuff on the left, maybe because the author fears to be labeled as "enemy within", as he explains in article:
> Collective narcissists are hypervigilant about “enemies within,” members who, in their opinion, reflect negatively on the group.
- TeeMassive 5y agoThis is what a I thought too. A classical case of projection through accusation. "All narcissists tell on themselves" https://medium.com/@OwnYourReality/projection-the-narcissists-weapon-that-can-be-used-against-them-7ebb63848998 https://medium.com/@OwnYourReality/projection-the-narcissist...
- civilized 5y agoThere are many enemies within on the left: - The progressive think tanker who was fired for citing a black prof's research saying riots are detrimental to social change - The star NYT science reporter who was fired for mentioning the n-word a decade ago in a conversation where it was relevant - The Smith College janitor who was publicly smeared as racist for, in accordance with instructions from his own bosses, asking a black student why she was in a closed-off dining hall - The progressive young Asian novelist who was viciously slandered for writing a story inspired by human trafficking in Asia, under the pretense that she had appropriated the American black experience of slavery I could go on all day. It's been a nasty few years. Start with anything by Michael Powell at the NYT if you want to know more.
- lazyeye 5y agoIt always the same with these kinds studies. Its actually the exact kind of group narcissism they claim exists in others. "everyone that disagrees with us is a hater and extremist".. or to rephrase "we're morally perfect"
