I think society has created a lot of narcissists, and now there are a lot of narcissists who are weaponizing victimhood to gain power.

@Midnight Maverick
How has society created narcissists you think, through which process? Were these people not narcissists initially and became so, or do you think society rewards narcissists more often than others? By 'society' do you mean only the people composing it or do you mean to say there are certain institutions that valorize narcisistic behavior? Do you think narcissists can get further because of their worship of the self and disregard for others? How do you differentiate between narcissists and other self-important people?
Not disagreeing, just want you to expand off your thoughts!
God...the more informed I become, the angrier I get about the "trans rights" bullshit. I don't even have words. I've gone from previously mistaking myself for trans a few years ago (until I realized it was just damages from being raised by a mysoginistic father, which I've now healed from and have no problems from anymore), to being soft and kind and understanding toward trans people because I was able to understand a bit more based on firsthand experiences, to fucking despising trans shit. I still don't despise trans people, but I despise the fucking damage these activists are doing. I won't even accept "LGBTQ+" counselling job positions, I nope out of that shit the instant I read the job position's title...and I myself am LGB.
Men who "identify as women" being allowed to transfer into women's prisons. Some of these men are in prison because they're serial killers of women. Women in prison are getting knocked up because these men are raping them. Yet, trans activisists have the audacity to argue it's not hurting anyone? Tell that to the 30%+ of all trans people who detransition, tell that to the actual women who are in prison, tell that to the women who get beaten up (not just beaten, but beaten UP) in sports.
Also, please stop lumping those of us who are BIsexual in with these fucking clowns under LGBTQ+-÷ or whateverthefuck. I have nothing to do with these fucking clowns. I also am not morally obligated to be sexually attracted to you just because you identify as the opposite sex of what you actually are and then get surgical operations to get you as close as possible to that gender, and I don't give a shit if you call me transphobic for that, or whatever else for not being attracted to androgyny, bigender, or whatever else. I'm not attracted to women with oversized clit peens and otherwise male-looking bodies, I'm damn sure not attracted to MtF men who really just look like gay crossdressers or femboys to me. I've always, ALWAYS been attracted to masculine men and very highly feminine women. I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be attracted to anything else just to make you feel better any more than you pretend to be attracted to incels, Karens, Darens, psychopaths, women if you're gay, men if you're lesbian, or whoever else, just to make them feel better, you fucking hypocrites. If you're offended by that and you want to come at me for offending you--well, I'm offended that you're offended, so now what are you going to do? Finally admit that being offended doesn't entitle you to jack shit?--Not likely. Probably just going to keep on erasing women's rights with their sense of fucking entitlement and have biological men, who are physically more powerful than real women, in the prisons raping them and knocking them up, or watching us change clothes in the locker rooms, or watching us pee in the restrooms, or etc.
Do not associate me with these asshole narcissistic clowns just because I'm BIsexual.

Btw, even back then, I was still saying I believed it was a mental illness, so fuck off.Originally Posted by Midnight Maverick
This was back when I admitted myself into a psych ward so that I could be diagnosed with bipolar/depression/whatever kept getting me fired from jobs for symptoms (lied and said I was suicidal during a time when I wasn't so that I could get in so I could be diagnosed because it was the only way that I as a US citizen was able to access any form of mental health care, and going there for just those 4 days they kept me locked in for still gave me more than $2,000 in debts btw).
I remember having a conversation with one of the other inpatients I got along OK with there. I told him I was trans (despite that I've never done anything more than giving myself an awful looking boy haircut), and he politely but hesitantly said he thinks all the trans shit is mental illness. I told him no, that's absolutely fine because he's entitled to his own views, and I also told him that I actually agree with him.
See, that's the aspect that's narcissistic: expecting everyone else to agree with you, or else you GASLIGHT them by labelling them transphobic and whatever other derogatory label you can come up with. It's one thing to have your views and live by them, and it's something completely different to shove your views down everyone else's throats. You want to live in a place where they force you to believe in shit by punishing you for not? Go to Russia. They'll shove you in jail for being L, G, B, T, Q, or +...nooo, no, you don't want that, but yet that's what you want to do to anyone who voices any opinion that differs from your pro-Trans ones. Fucking hypocrites.

"Defund the police" y'all are genius for sure. They're under-funded already, they're way too busy to work. Order food and call the cops, see which one reaches you first.
Love this.

When i think of politics; economic decisions/allignment, state intervation, workers rights, weekly working hour, minimum wage, foreign policy, defence military, agriculture planning, taxes, parties, social rights, religious freedom, laicism, monetary decisions, state budget, minority rights, enviromental decisions, justice, bureocrasy, healthcare, education program came to mind.
not the whining and crying from disgustingly ugly guy who want his dick cut and want to be raped or hairy woman with piercings shouting some imbecile things...
left wing in general becoming a gay meme has hurt and degenerwted workers movement in the worst way possible, way more than the capitalism has ever dreamed of ..
I will reply to this. Started to sooner, but my cats kept jumping on my keyboard and bumping into my mouse until I got frustrated by our lack of space, kissed them and gave them head bumps because it's not their fault, and decided to return to it later.@Midnight Maverick

I'm saddened at the ultra-conservative wave going through much of the U.S. currently. Women not being allowed to have abortions in many states; transgender people not being allowed to, well, exist as they are; voting rights being suppressed; more constant gerrymandering; immigrants in Florida not being allowed to work; etc.
I think there should be greater acceptance of diversity among the population, such as different racial/ethnic groups, different religions, different sexual orientations, different lifestyles, etc.
Based on my research, the majority of people don't take issue with people existing as trans themselves. The problems they talk about are things like forcing everyone to use their pronouns when they don't believe that's how gender works (they want the freedom to possess and express their own individual views), instilling sex and gender (genetalia) related ideologies into super young kids who know nothing about sexuality at that age (grooming), allowing minors to make such a permanent and life altering decision that they aren't ready to make yet, and how eager the psychs are to just throw them on hormones and into surgeries without even having prior understanding of the side effects they may experience from those things, and the suicide rates associated with the whopping 30% of trans people who detransition and regret it for the rest of their lives because they weren't appropriately counseled prior to transitioning.

I so, so strongly disagree with DeSantis' decision to ban gay shit from schools. I hate it. It's horrible.
Parents need to be educated about how homosexuality/bisexuality works. People don't develop attraction to the same gender because they read it in a book or see it in a movie. They have these feelings independently of those things. Banning the books only makes it seem taboo, and therefore shameful. Even if you're against homosexuality for religious reasons or whatever, it's in society's best interest to be accepting of homosexuality, at very least in the sense of letting people do what they're going to do without trying to dictate over them. When it is shamed or seen as taboo, people force themselves into same-sex marriages that they eventually just can't pretend in anymore. People wind up hurt simply because their partner was closeted and trying to change who they are. Sometimes, that results in gay affairs and fatherless children. Which is more harmful to a kid: seeing gays, or growing up fatherless because dad was gay and couldn't maintain the lie/facade that he wasn't? I've got news for you: the kids are going to be exposed to gays anyway, even when the books are banned. Believing you're closing their eyes to it is naive. You don't think other kids will be gay and kissing in the hallways? You don't think the internet exposes them to these things? You don't think they're going to experiment if they feel attraction to the same sex? That doesn't change just because you banned some books. Lol.
You can't control children that way. They live in this world, and this world has things in it that you will never entirely prevent them from seeing or experiencing. It's impossible to close their eyes to everything as a form of protection. This is an unskillful approach to parenting, as well. You are giving your children fish, rather than teaching them how to fish. Parents have a responsibility to teach their children how to navigate what they're exposed to, not just prevent them from being exposed to everything. It's an overprotective, overly sheltered parenting style that leaves kids unprepared to face the world independently, which I guarantee you they will certainly not appreciate ever, at any point in their lifetimes. They will always instead remember how naive they were, how easily taken advantage they were, and how they had to go through so much hardship during the transition from the naive kid to the kid who has learned the hard way how to navigate this world without having any real guidance in that area of their lives, all because you wanted to blind them to everything.
I'm not saying kids should be exposed to just whatever with carelessness, such as sexuality and etc. I'm just saying they need to be exposed to things and lose their innocence in certain ways while they get older, while you teach them how to navigate those things in the world...because if you don't, they're going to lose their innocence the hard way later, by getting hurt because they don't know how to navigate what they're suddenly exposed to later on in life. That can result in some trauma and an unhealthy distrust in others. The loss of innocence is a natural part of aging, and it needs to be done gradually over time...not in the form of something akin to culture shock that comes like an earthquake into their lives.
