A warning
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 02:35 PM by undergroundpanther
If your candidate is an image BEWARE you might be fooled by a lie. Be careful what you vote for.

A false image is, of course, a work of art, an idol. And a lie.A narcissist identifies with this image, not his true inner self. So, all he cares about is his image, not what kind of person he really is. Indeed, the latter has no real existence in his world.*


(how many politicians spend hours polishing the image?)

In identifying with his image, he's identifying with an ephemeral figment that has but virtual reality, a purely immanent existence as a reflection in the attention shone on him by others. No attention, no image. No image, no self!*

(and when you ignore a narcissist what do they do,they become bullies)

So, no normal person can imagine what it's like living in the mind of a narcissist. Where would their center of consciousness be? *
For example, what would it be like if you weren't always there for yourself? If your experience of your own existence was limited to seeing yourself reflected in mirrors?*

You'd be forever posing before a mirror, wouldn't you? In fact, if you looked around and saw all the people/mirrors around you reflecting someone else (i.e., paying attention to someone else) and none reflecting you, you'd experience an existential crisis.*

(the biggest posing mirrors are the media (billions of tv sets)and political power .look at the narcissism fest that was the Iowa caucus?)



So, it's all about attention. Narcissus' life is a game of monopoly for it all. And people are just mirrors to him.


(Don't be a mirror for a narcissist telling you lies, vote for your conscience's sake and the sake of your well being and the well being of others.Do not vote for AN IDOL ,Don't let a narcissist monopolize political power, for on the right they try to overthrow democracy,for they are narcissists,but on the dem side, hillary a narcissist she is hostile to the weak i.e the poor)If you frame it in narcissism you can see how sick the election process is)

This is why Politicians lie to us.

A narcissist remains forever an infant. His world revolves around him. The people in it are but objects for him to use and control — existing for his sake, not their own. Like levers on a control panel or tools to be damaged through heavy use or livestock to be consumed. There to fulfill his needs and enhance his image. Beyond that, they have no importance. It never occurs to him that he owes them anything in return or that he should consider the effects of his actions on them

So they are hypocites,they make laws that screw us,and let corporations screw us and the planet.Politicians, they have no shame because it is all about THIER fake self image.

The church tried to create an image of moral purity yet altar boys are molested so the church could be considered a narcissistic institution ,Bush sold voter on the image as the buddy and daddy of this country yet he is selfish,crude, mean and callous..and jokes he wants to be a dictator.The two things reality and image do not match.When these things don't match there is a red flag,a warning that who you are voting for is not who they appear to be on TV.

Be careful.

This narcissism issue is ANOTHER reason I am going to to vote for Kucinich,he seems to be a real person, more than a mere image or an idol I look at his voting record and more than any other candidate he is more consistent, so as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow the narcissists in presence of a real person ignore and fear him because he isn't about abuse of power and getting it all and being an attention whore.

1. kucinich is a politician. with an ego. he's certainly proven that
you attempt to denigrate all the others and project all kinds of nonsense. Sorry, Kucinich is not always consistent, and you sound like you're the one doing the idolizing.

3. he is more consistent than the others as far as I can tell.
That's what I am saying. I think all politicians are narcissistic to a degree by default.My thought is how severe of a degree do they have it?. I want the least severe narcissist.
Do you now understand my point?
