Yes, however the core of the thesis I am making is this:
Affinity groups for marginalized populations attract malignant narcissists at a higher rate than other organizations
So you should always be alert for them, but even more alert if you are part of a marginalized group, as you're at higher risk of exploitation
- zozbot234 4y agoMarginalized populations have low social capital (that's what it means to be marginalized), so they will always be more vulnerable to the tyranny of structurelessness, and its attraction for dark-triad personalities. But I think you may be right that the way most so-called "safe spaces" are managed actively exacerbates this issue.
- AndrewKemendo 4y agoExactly...and perhaps using the term "safe space" was too loaded in this case. I simply mean any curated community with high openness, high conscientiousness and low judgment centered around supporting people.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agoDoes that mean these groups are no longer marginalized and should be ignored, because it seems like you can get a lot done by accusing someone of rape or racism.
