That has nothing to do with narcissism. That you cannot see that is disturbing. War is a much more serious matter than someone's ego acting out.

This is an excellent point. People don't care about democracy per se, they care about their tribe's survival. Trump promises to destroy the woke tribe, so his voters are happy. They see the woke tribe as demonic.

Or is that your projection?

@StyxNStone Haha

How do you know Jesus wasn't Satan?

That can't be correct. Not all authoritarians are narcissists. Putin does not act like a narcissist. Authortirainism is a response to extremely challenging survival conditions. It's much more profound than just someone with a big ego. Authoritarianism is functional. It serves survival. Which is why it is appealing to millions of people. It's not about ego, it's about how best to organize society so that it functions effectively. Which is why all militaries have an authoritarian governance structure. The military is not structured as it is because some guy had a big ego and wanted to lord over everyone. It's because if it wasn't structured that way everyone involved would be dead.

LD50 will be much lower for certain types of people and you never know if that is you, so watch out. Not all bodies will handle even 50mg of 5-MeO. You are toying with dynamite.

That's true but you have to be an extrovert for that. You have to love running a social circle. You have to have nothing better to do with your life.

I've done 100mg+ Not that you should.

@LordFall Even so, Telsa is insanely overvalued. It's a meme stock, disconnected from sound fundamentals. 130 P/E

That's such a limited view of reality. But hey, you do you.

What you're seeing every day in the news is the why.

This man is an idiot.

Are you serous? They come from men not getting laid, getting rejected, childhood trauma, lack of personal responsibility, wasting life playing video games, and getting lost down toxic ideological online rabbit holes. Do some men get burned in divorce? Sure. But so do women. Divorce is bad for all involved. And divorce already assumes you got some skills attracting women. Men are mostly bitter because they have not learned how to socialize. Learning to socialize is hard work so it's much easier to just sit online and blame women. Many men are bitter because they don't have good looks and they believe this makes it impossible to date.

Authoritarianism is a survival strategy responding to a survival landscape. It only works if the landscape is favorable.

It's not a well-defined question because there can be so many degrees and varieties of it.

People don't even know how to see corruption. They don't have the consciousness to see it. They are blind because they've never seen Truth/God. The reason I talk about corrupt so much is because I see it everywhere I look. Like an eagle flying over a cesspool. The frogs in the pool cannot see it.

@Peo LSD could not even be real LSD but some cheaper dirtier chem. Yes, LSD tabs are always fishy. You completely trusting your vendor to be honest. Powdered psychelics are far more trustworthy.

The banality of evil is the point. Corruption rarely looks like evil. It hides itself as business-as-usual. Corruption is rarely this monstrous, grandiose thing. It's ordinary.

That isn't a serious thing. Men simply aren't given any resources or training on how to be men.
