10. What we are seeing these days are textbook examples of reactions to narcissistic injury.

Each expression is more extreme and intense than the last. When you are hurt you scream, right? What a narcissist values more than anything else are his belief in his superiority and his entitlement to praise and special treatment, and when those things are threatened the narcissist feels a great deal of pain. And he decompensates, because at some point he can no longer pretend he isn't being hurt. TFG's fake Xeets are his screams of pain as he decompensates, like he was being gored or flayed.

I believe we should try to feel compassion for all sentient beings, and that I should at least feel sorry for someone who's so clearly miserable, but dammit, I'm not Buddha or Jesus and I just can't fucking do it. He's turning out to be one of the most destructive human beings since the death of Hitler and I'm not a good enough person to feel much except disgust and loathing.
