YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGrowing awareness of narcissism and psychopathy since the 1960s makes it more difficult to prey on victims. I was the first to describe narcissistic abuse in 1995 and this launched a global movement.
Narcissists and psychopaths transitioned from hunting to virtual reality: shared fantasies that have redefined civilization in narcissistic and psychopathic terms.
The new ecosystem rewards and incentivizes narcissistic and psychopathic traits and behaviors and promotes them (axiological shift): ambition, ruthlessness, callousness, defiance, contumaciousness, Machiavellianism (manipulativeness), atomization (self-sufficiency).
This new ecosystem is binary. There are only 2 roles available: predator and prey. Your choice. This guarantees an abundance of prey – but it also promotes victimhood and paranoia which, ironically, are forms of grandiosity.
Victimhood and paranoia created an imbalance between the number of victims and the number of abusers. So, victims are now in search of abusers: they label everyone as a victimizer by redefining abuse and lowering the bar of what constitutes abuse.
