Potentially the Most Repulsive Shit Pulled By The Owl.
Reminder. I say she doesn't know shit about psychology. And even if it might at first brush seem to be innocent. She posted a link from some WaPo article on narcissism. Instead of her often employed drive by method of just posting shit without comment? She opines:
Skepticism-inducing lines in the article: "Experts aren’t sure how common NPD is. The disorder is underdiagnosed, partly because symptoms can be confused with other personality disorders and partly because most narcissists aren’t rushing into therapy."
It's flagrantly dishonest. Skeptical of what? As someone who had my first contact with the DSM back in 1987, the idea that any one of the personality disorders is underdiagnosed is, well ancient knowledge. Now whether it was her intent, she led the deplorables who comment there down the rabbit hole where the actual reality of if not NPD but all the personality disorders are being denied. Perhaps even the entire field? Conspiracy theory type thinking about Psychology is also ancient. So as much as I would love to say she invented a new conspiracy theory. She just dug it up and employed it.
Revolting.
And then there is the political agenda. The Leper Messiah is often described as not only clinically narcissistic, but all over the map of psychological disorders. I guess the new, perhaps, tactic for his idiot horde is not to merely deny the behavior or accuracy of classification. They are now denying the actual existence of the actual disorder.
I repeat. Revolting.
Again. I have no idea whether she had intent to be this revolting. I can only judge based on what I see.
