Grail OP ,

They paywalled My articles? They're not supposed to do that, I have monetisation disabled! I can't see a paywall in incognito mode, can you share a screenshot of the paywall?

Until I get this sorted out, here's an alternative frontend

Grail OP ,

Thank you! If I get more reports of paywalls I'll switch to posting scribe links by default. Hopefully this was a one-off bug.

Grail OP ,

I genuinely want more dead cops.

Grail OP ,

Your very existence is an act of revolt, and I hope it upsets as many reactionaries as possible without compromising your safety.

Being an anti-authoritarian is narcissistic. That's why I developed the theory of anarcho-narcissism.

I have a much better theory

Kids really are being groomed by adults into having homosexual thoughts and homosexual arousal. But it's not the gay adults who are doing it, it's the homophobic adults. Homophobia causes homoeroticism as a fetish.

I don't even think that employee was being a dick. He's a man, the customer was calling for a woman. How's he supposed to know she wanted his help if she won't say so? She was just bad at communicating with her words, not his fault.

Grail ,

Yes, that blog is my blog.

Grail ,

I have a theory about that

Oh yeah statistically it's gotta be that some homophobes are queer. Queer people are 10% of the population, and homophobes are even higher. Two groups that large, there's got to be crossover. Historically, it would have been even moreso the case.

I'm just unconvinced that queer people are the majority of homophobes because that makes no sense, and I'm unconvinced that the study randomly found mostly bi homophobes. The sheer prevalence of the gay homophobe trope is out of proportion with the conditions that would have been capable of creating homophobia in society in the first place and sustaining it.

For one thing, the study asked the men to rate themselves on the Kinsey scale. Those men fully believed they had never felt attraction to another man. And only 20% of the homophobes showed no penile reaction. Meanwhile, 66% of the gay-accepting men had no reaction.

Oh yeah you might be right about most of the "homosexuality is a choice" guys. I wrote that article right after Nick Fuentes got caught looking at gay porn, so I was thinking about that cliche.

    Grail OP ,

    I'd appreciate it if you didn't say such mean things about my mental disorder. At the very least, maybe you could swap the word "narcissist" for person-first language into "person living with NPD".

    Grail OP ,

    There's no scientific evidence that people with NPD are dangerous. You're just spreading unfounded rumours that you haven't bothered to verify, about how mental disorders make people dangerous.

    Grail OP ,

    Donald Trump does not have an NPD diagnosis. If you're going to name random people to invent an argument, then I may as well do the same thing and claim that Bob Ross, Mr Rogers, and Carl Sagan had NPD.

    Narcissistic Abuse Rehab is a hate website founded on reactionary feelings, not on science. DARVO is a real thing, and I'm sure they have good sources for its existence. But they have no sources connecting DARVO with NPD, because there isn't a connection.

    https://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/pathological-lying-narcissistic-personality-disorder-traits

    That's an opinion piece that appears to be based on a tweet. It's not scientific evidence.

    https://psychcentral.com/blog/psychology-self/2017/09/narcissistic-projection#1

    That's an opinion piece on a blog which cites other opinion pieces on blogs. It's not scientific evidence.

    just the diagnostic criteria from the DSM indicate the dangers:

    Only one of them does, and its inclusion in the DSM was controversial. Many experts argued against even including NPD as a diagnosis.

    https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/new-insights-narcissistic-personality-disorder

    Conceptualizations and diagnostic definitions of narcissistic personality disorder have primarily focused on the more strikingly provocative, self-enhancing, entitled interpersonal behaviors and attitudes that tend to capture the attention of clinicians rather than on the patient’s underlying, internal struggles. This has contributed to making the diagnosis more judgmental rather than informative.

    Here's another source:

    https://www.thehotline.org/resources/abuse-and-mental-illness-is-there-a-connection/

    A common assumption we hear at The Hotline is that abuse is caused by a partner’s mental health condition, for example: bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), narcissistic personality, borderline personality or antisocial personality. While these are serious mental health conditions, they do not cause abuse. Nothing in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM 5) states that a mental illness solely causes a partner to be abusive in a relationship; however, there are a select few diagnoses that can increase the risk of abusive patterns to show up in a relationship and in other areas of life.

    Grail OP ,

    People with NPD should be seen as victims because NPD is a mental disorder and a disability, because it's caused by child abuse, because it increases lifelong vulnerability to intimate abuse, and because you're currently claiming disabled people are bullies.
