Yup,
one product

american companies
will be replaced.

It’s was clear
america was on
it’s way down,

frumpy
accelerated
the downfall.

It’s just as well,
it’s difficult
to work
with
malignant narcs.

They are built
to self-destruct.

“These images

They are the ghosts
of an empire,
posing for its last official photo.”

#read #history #books #Gatsby

The finest jewelers, including Fabergé, created unique pieces for the ball. The cost of the costumes was astronomical. It was a display of wealth and power the world had rarely seen. The best photographers were specially invited to capture the event. It is thanks to these photographs that we can now look into this vanished world. These images are not just portraits. They are the ghosts of an empire, posing for its last official photo. But behind all this splendor, the shadows were already gathering. While the aristocracy danced in their boyar finery, discontent was growing outside the palace walls. The country was on the brink of a lost war with Japan, the bloody Revolution of 1905, and, ultimately, total annihilation. This ball was not a celebration of the future. It was an attempt to hide in the past. The aristocracy, dressed in the costumes of their ancestors, seemed not to notice that their own world was standing on the edge of an abyss. The Costume Ball of 1903 was not just a party. It was a requiem. The last, dazzling dance of the Russian Empire before it vanished forever.

Characteristics of narcissistic abuse • Lack of empathy: The abuser exploits others without guilt because they cannot identify with others' feelings and view people as objects to meet their own needs. • Manipulative behavior: They use tactics like gaslighting to make the victim doubt their own reality and sanity. • Controlling and aggressive: This abuse can be calculated and aggressive, and is often directed at family members and partners. • "Invisible" nature: Abuse is often not physical and leaves no visible marks, making it difficult for outsiders to recognize. • Disguised public persona: The abuser often appears charming and kind to others while being abusive in private, isolating the victim and making them feel like the problem. How to recognize narcissistic abuse • Feeling confused and isolated: You may feel confused about what is happening and isolated from others. • Doubting your own sanity: The abuser's use of gaslighting can cause you to question your own memory and sanity. • Experiencing constant emotional volatility: You may notice a pattern of aggression and control, even without physical violence. • Feeling like "it's all your fault": A common theme in these relationships is the victim feeling responsible for the abuser's actions.

Nihilism a feature
in those who
have much
self-loathing.

Having never
believed in the self …

their life outlook
is bleak, shallow, dark
…like death.

Those who believe
in nothing,
fall for
everything.

I was thinking
malignant narc
but after some reading

…. I think sociopath
is more accurate.
The main difference is motivation: narcissists seek admiration and validation to mask their insecurities, while sociopaths manipulate and harm others for pleasure or personal gain without caring about their public image. Narcissists are motivated by ego and a need for attention, whereas sociopaths have a profound lack of empathy, a disregard for social rules and laws, and can be more calculating or impulsive. Feature Narcissist Sociopath Primary Motivation To gain admiration and validation to prop up a grandiose but fragile ego To seek pleasure, excitement, or personal gain, with little regard for the consequences or feelings of others View of Others Uses others as a means to get admiration and avoid feeling inferior Views others as objects to be used, manipulated, or exploited for their own purposes Image & Reputation Cares deeply about their public image and works to maintain a well-crafted one Often disregards social norms and has little concern for what others think of them, which may lead to a history of illegal or antisocial behavior Empathy & Lacks Lacks a Conscience Response to Rules empathy and may be selfish, but can be motivated to stop before a personal cost becomes too great May bend or break rules if it serves their ego, but is aware of consequences conscience and empathy; hurting others may be a source of pleasure Will disregard rules and laws, showing a persistent pattern of rule-breaking Behavioral Style Manipulative behaviors are often aimed at controlling how others see them; can feign empathy More cunning and potentially cruel manipulation, but can also be impulsive and aggressive; has no use for feigning empathy Q narcissist vs sociopath

It’s called
‘coercive control’

maga calls it DTS,
better known as 👇🏼
Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim. Coercive and controlling behaviour is at the heart of domestic abuse.
