My psychological intuition tells me that the one with power phantasies is the cajoling sysadmin - not the humble one. I find it weird that you would think it's the other way around.
- dkarl 5y agoI would think it would be weird to fantasize about taking drastic, socially unsanctioned action to deal with circumstances that you are already dealing with effectively in real life. People do commonly fantasize about using violence to escape humiliating situations, but very few people take violent action against their tormentors, so it stands to reason that most of the people who fantasize about violence aren't violent in real life.
