Propaganda: How the DOJ manufactured outrage over Trayvon Martin shooting
Alan C. replied to Magnus's topic in Current Events
The same kinds of comments can also be seen on Peter Schiff's channel. This is the world we live in: the State ruins lives every day and these self-righteous hypocrites in the YT comments are nowhere to be seen. -

Propaganda: How the DOJ manufactured outrage over Trayvon Martin shooting
Alan C. replied to Magnus's topic in Current Events
DOJ actively worked to foment Trayvon racial unrest, spending thousands in taxpayer dollars Judicial Watch link If Obama had a son, he'd look like Trayvon Al Sharpton: race baiter, shakedown charlatan, poverty pimp Preparations in response to potential riots is racist Trayvon supporters vow violence if Zimmerman acquitted Mainstream media ignores death threats, racial epithets against Zimmerman Referring to Whites as "crackers" isn't racist; it's culture Sam Vaknin predicted that Obama would probably work to harm the country in a fit of narcissistic rage -

It's nothing more than a coincidence. Your mom's religious inculcation conditioned her to recognize patterns of no significance. See patternicity by Michael Shermer.

I think I figured it out
Alan C. replied to hazek's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
I don't deny that humans practiced intraspecies predation for hundreds of thousands of years, but cooperators managed to create capital structures which permit billions of people to live in relative comfort despite the exploiters. Wealth and abundance are recent phenomena, existing for only a small fraction of 1% of human history. Humans (including exploiters) lived under grinding poverty for most of history. If not for cooperators, humans would still be living that way and you and I probably wouldn't exist. We're currently seeing parasitism run amok, which is eroding the foundation of the capital structures that sustain civilization. Exploiters pose a threat to themselves as well as others. -
Sam Vaknin: Obama has Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Alan C. replied to Alan C.'s topic in Self Knowledge
Narcissism resides on a gradient. Examples of healthy narcissism include care taken in preparing one's appearance or presentation, personal hygiene and fitness, and joy at receiving recognition for one's accomplishments. Regarding Obama, Sam is referring specifically to malignant narcissism in the form of a personality disorder. Healthy narcissism poses no danger to others. People afflicted with NPD are a menace. -

Violence is profitable only in the short-term and only insofar as it's possible to use the State apparatus to impose the costs of violence upon others. Societies with institutionalized violence eventually disintegrate. We're currently witnessing several in the process. -

It's not unsual for people to show apathy about things which don't personally affect them. For example, a welfare parasite isn't going to care about a local business which spends millions of dollars annually on taxes and regulatory compliance. The mistake is thinking that such people need convincing that their freedom is in jeopardy unless they do something.

I recommend both of these interviews if you have the time. Both contain very good information about narcissism. The article mentioned, which Sam wrote in 2008: Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic? An earlier interview: Sam Vaknin Analyzes Barack Obama Stef's Get off Julia! video, plus a bunch of links. The Obamas' extravagant lifestyle at taxpayer expense.
