Narcissists Have a Love Affair With Power
An
individual narcissist operates within a microsystem or a macrosystem, a small
family or a large organization, even a government, in which power is the ‘drug’
of choice in either sphere.
The reason
narcissists love power is because it is a compensatory tool that enables them
to feed their ego continuously, IF they have an unlimited source of power to
draw from.
The archaic
and dystopian stories in which Vampires are viewed as blood seeking Romantics,
is weirdly applicable to narcissists: they FEED off the power of others, and
when The Narcissist has a big ego and voluminous spaces in which to find ‘Supply’
they Feed Voraciously, sucking the psychic energy from their victims. The irony is The Malignant Narcissist with a supersized
Ego needs a large supply of fuel, but it is never enough, because they are
insatiable. The Narcissistic Fuel Tank is never ‘full’ because their ‘Tank’ has
holes in it. The Narcissist’s Ego is unhealthy and empty, The Narcissistic ‘Self’
is Empty; therefore, the Fake Self, the perpetually Masked Self is not real.
The ‘Fuel’ supplies the fake persona of a sick and selfish individual.
There is more than one type of Narcissist,
but the one most easily recognized loves the public light, the appearance of success and riches and they seek power to keep this image intact, lying and stealing if necessary to secure their spot as ‘King or Queen of the World.’ Malignant Sociopathic Narcissists tend to become greedier and darker as they age, while cultivating a Power Lust. Family bonds, and alliances are viewed as ‘tools’ and they will readily abandon relationships and betray alliances if it benefits them in the short term.
Most
Narcissists live in the ‘moment’ while acting on childish impulses. The intelligence
of individuals is hindered by their ego driven behavior, as they resort to the
ID stage of egocentrism, when they are cornered. The outside appearances may
denote a successful and powerful person in charge of their lives, with planned
strategies in place, yet they make decisions like a child when in stressful
situations. This public narcissist is presented on fully display before the world, yet they manage to assuage the concerns of others with a glib and superficial charm-just like in a microsystem-so in the macrosystem.
In a family
setting, an abusive narcissistic parent or partner, presents the same way as a
derailed CEO having a Temper Tantrum, resorting to outbursts and even violence.
It is puzzling to see a Child-Adult Act out, so most rationalize it as a quirk. People who have witnessed this type
of behavior up close, are perplexed because the person who appears confident
and secure, can suddenly revert to childish bullying behavior. The two behaviors do not belong together, but because people do not understand the behavior, they excuse it as s fluke.
“Sometimes he acts like a little boy
(or girl),” it is often remarked about the Narcissist after a victim witnessed them in a full display of Rage. Anger, Crying, Threats, Breaking Things, Name Calling and Blaming others,
are immature behaviors that are common with children, but inexplicably are the same behaviors seen in narcissists on an extreme scale.
The trigger that precedes these
displays of intemperance and abuse, is usually a feeling of ‘losing control’ of
losing power. Power and Control is the glue that holds the typical narcissist
together like a broken and fragmented vase superglued.
DANGEROUS
The more power a controlling
narcissist commands, the more damage they can wreak upon victims. In the case of
a partnership of two, only one victim exists, however, if the narcissist and
his partner have a large family of children, the narcissistic has a small
kingdom and can harm all his subjects. The fit of abuse is harmful to anyone near
a narcissistic person, the closer the relationship, the greater the harm. In the case of rulers, and persons with power over large numbers, the damage can be catastrophic.
VICTIMS
The predatory narcissist uses bait to
attract victims and emotional ‘sugar’ to keep them via ‘Love Bombing’ and
grandiose Future Promising. Lying and discrediting the victims is part of the brainwashing
scheme that is often undetected by those beguiled by the sugar coating. In the
case of the Super Narcissist whose Victims are companies and the citizens of
government, the same methods are used on a grand scale. The ‘Us’ v ‘Them’
method of isolating otherwise reasonable people from their common sense, works
of those suffering from displacement, marginalization, and fear of being left
behind.
Recruitment
The Super Narcissist wants to be
worshipped like a god, to be obeyed without question, to have total control. It
is the ultimate power ‘high’ for a self-absorbed egomaniac. The aging Malignant
Ego desires this like Smeagol desires ‘The Precious’ in Lord of the Rings-so once
in power, they seek MORE power, more followers.
A Cult is a group of people who
irrationally and unconditionally follow an ideology or a person, a Cult Leader.
The abandonment of reason is replaced by a cult-based belief system that
members defend AGAINST all reason. The Brainwashing in complete when members
reach this point of emotionalism. The radicalization of a person occurs when
those beliefs are dangerously extreme.
The first step for the Cult leader is
to stand in the public square and attract the followers to himself by appealing
to THEIR egos and their ISSUES, their hurts, and fears. In the cyber age,
social media is the easiest method for a potential leader to gather his crow.
The Cult Leader seeks the lost and angry
souls to lead, those who have no root within themselves, no established sense
of self, or keen critical thinking skills. The weakest members of society are
picked just like a predator picks prey.
It is the same methods used by Gang
Leaders to claim the loyalty of gang member who are initiated in by oaths of loyalty.
It is the brainwashing of The Masses, gained by Cult Leaders through the ages,
by promising ‘a place to belong’ in a world in which they feel rejected.
The Grandiose Malignant Narcissistic
Leader knows his victims and attracts them like magnet attracts metal. Once a
substantial portion of followers are bound by the silent oath, they follow
blindly without reason. It is at this dangerous juncture in which the followers
of cult leaders commit crimes in the name of their ‘Leader.’ Once the Cult
following is seduced, they are bound and committed to a cause that that they
believe is in their own best interests; unable to see the cause is the selfish
goal of a deranged fake persona.
Never Forget HOW we got to January 6th,
2021. The Grandiose Malignant Narcissist is a Dangerous Leader
Macro-System Narcissist
Ego Driven Power Addicts seek the
greatest power achievable, so if they are talented, intelligent, or amply
supported financially, they often secure and amass large sums of money, and positions
of authority in which they control the lives of thousand of people. In rare
cases, Malignant Narcissists gain control of Governments, creating chaos on
large scale. There has been a lengthy line of evil rulers in the recent past,
as well as current ones whose quest for power has created mayhem and misery for
the masses.
Today in Real Time
There are individual narcissistic
power mongers who seek to destroy American Democracy via ruthless power
grabbing at all costs; and they display the same behaviors on a large scale as
abusive narcissists within a small family. The same dynamic exists among the
micro-narcissist and the macro-narcissist-they want to supply their Egos with a
never-ending steam of Power to compensate for the inner disquiet within themselves.
Micro or Macro, Big or Small, All
Malignant Narcissists are Destructive.
