Apocalypting Narcissist, Borderline: Drama, Crisis, Catastrophizing

BPD and NPD are not the same as CPTSD. They are different ways of REACTING to CPTSD. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is not the same as complex trauma (CPTSD). BPD is a specific type of a multilayered pattern of REACTION to CPTSD. It is partly genetically- and neurobiologically-determined.

So is pathological narcissism: it is a form of idiosyncratic REACTIVE PATTERN to early childhood CPTSD.

Catastrophizing vs. apocalypting: cognition vs. action (brinkmanship).

Paranoia involves both.

Drama and crisis as control and manipulation tools, organizing and explanatory principles, thrill-seeking and risk taking, defiance and contumaciousness.

Drama and crisis buttress grandiosity, invert locus of control from external to internal (e.g., in mortification).

Narcissist’s creative destruction of existing environment and circumstances condition for life transitions.

The masses feel that they are being held hostage and enslaved by rapacious, venal, and mendacious elites. They regard these elites and their values as avowed enemies: the West, governments, academia, mainstream media, science, the finance industry, the Jews.

The enemies of the elites are the friends of the masses: terrorists, antisemites, conspiracy theorists, Russia, China, populists authoritarians, the alt right.

The masses abuse democracy and empowering technologies in order to destroy the established order.

This is Jose Ortega y Gasset’s “Revolt of the Masses” which always results in ochlocracies and atrocities.
