NY Post: Left-Wing Extremism Linked To Psychopathy And Narcissism

Left-wing extremism linked to psychopathy and narcissism: study

.....Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.....“Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism,” the authors wrote....As result of the new data....“According to this principle, individuals with dark personalities — such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits — are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality...In particular, certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.”

The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach.....Social justice is often used as a guise for these activists to behave unhinged, the research noted.....“Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism......” ....Beyond using any means necessary, people of privileged backgrounds who are aligned ..... often use their narcissism to make activism solely about themselves instead of achieving social equality for struggling groups.....“Minority groups should be made aware of the narcissistic ‘enemies’ from within their activist movement, as these individuals could hijack the cause thereby reducing the success of the activism in many ways.....”

Bill Maher: Self-Loathing "White Shame" Among Liberals Is Just "Tedious Virtue Signaling"

....Bill Maher delivered a monologue denouncing woke culture and "white shame" on Friday's edition of 'Real Time' on HBO....."White liberals need to start listening to me when I say you can't be more offended than the victim," Maher opened the segment. "There's a weird self-loathing going on among white liberals and it's not helping anyone. Lifting up those who society has cheated or forsaken, that's liberalism. Hating all things white is just tedious virtue signaling."

"You know what might be the worst part of white shame? You bore the f**k out of black people at parties. You meet black people and say things like, 'Black Panther' was so meaningful to me. No, it wasn't. It wasn't a cultural milestone for you. I have taken an informal sampling among some black folks I know and the consensus seems to be: awareness, yes. White people certainly should acknowledge they've had an easier go of it, but black folks are not asking whites to always be flagellating themselves. Because it makes everything awkward.  It puts the burden on black people to absolve you. It's really asking black people to, again, do something for you. 'Forgive me!' 'Absolve me!' 'Recognize that I'm one of the good white people!' Jesus, haven’t black people suffered enough? Slavery, Jim Crow, and now I've got make some yuppie feel better about himself? Here's my question. How many white liberals would pay actual reparations? Real money taken out of your paycheck every week. If you really feel this bad about the whole race thing, and being white is really this toxic for society, let's tax it. Let's tax whiteness. A honkey tax."

Prominent D.C. Church Becomes First to Sue Over Mayor Muriel Bowser's Hypocritical Worship Restrictions

...In March, Bowser issued an executive order prohibiting churches from gathering to worship, whether indoors, or out, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the District’s four-stage plan, CHBC’s in-person worship gatherings will be prohibited until there is an “effective cure or vaccine” for COVID-19—a scenario that could take many months or even years to come to fruition....

....Justin Sok, a pastor at CHBC, explained the reasons for the lawsuit in a statement on the church’s website. “Since its founding in 1878, CHBC has met in-person every Sunday except for three weeks during the Spanish Flu in 1918,” he stated. “That changed following Mayor Bowser’s first orders concerning COVID-19 on March 11, 2020. Since that time, the members of CHBC—most of whom live in the District—have been unable to meet in person, as one congregation inside District limits (even outdoors).....CHBC has applied for multiple waivers to the policy. District officials refuse to provide CHBC with a waiver.....” said Sok. The lawsuit filed Tuesday, he said, asks that CHBC be permitted to meet in-person “with similar restrictions as area businesses and other gatherings have employed to protect public health.”

“The denial letter ....stated that “[w]aivers for places of worship above that expanded capacity are not being granted at this time” therefore, the request “is denied.'”

Not so fast, Mayor Bowser. The lawsuit points out the inconsistencies in waiver approvals:....CHBC claims that Bowser and the District “have been discriminatory in their application of the ban on large scale gatherings,” citing a June 6 appearance by Bowser at a gathering of tens of thousands of anti-racism protesters where she declared that the crowd was “wonderful to see.” In addition, the District’s Metropolitan Police Department closed city streets “to accommodate protests and marches of thousands to tens of thousands of people.” Not only that, three weeks ago, “the Mayor coordinated with organizers of the Commitment March on Washington to ‘re-imagine’ the five-hour event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for several thousand people in attendance to hear an array of speakers.”

“Creating an exception for mass protests and not other types of First Amendment activities is constitutionally forbidden content-based discrimination and thus violates CHBC’s free speech rights,” the church asserts.....It would be one thing if the lockdown policies were being enforced consistently, but the hypocrisy of shuttering churches while allowing protesters to gather, aided and abetted by the police and the District, is breathtaking....

“The First Amendment protects both mass protests and religious worship,” the lawsuit explains. “But Mayor Bowser, by her own admission, has preferred the former over the latter. When asked why she celebrates mass protests while houses of worship remain closed, she responded that ‘First Amendment protests and large gatherings are not the same’ because ‘in the United States of America, people can protest.'”

The Old Man and the PC! Woke warnings on ‘language and attitudes’ of Ernest Hemingway books

.....He is one of the giants of 20th century literature. But not even that could save Ernest Hemingway from the attention of the politically correct. The Nobel Prize-winner is the latest to be slapped with trigger warnings by publishers over ‘language and attitudes’. ....Penguin Random House is reissuing the Old Man and the Sea author’s works and in the latest edition of his 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises it says: ‘The publisher’s decision to present it as it was originally published is not intended as an endorsement of cultural representations or language contained herein.’ His Men Without Women short story collection has a similar warning....

.....Mary Dearborn, the author of Ernest Hemingway, A Biography, said: ‘This is nonsense. It blows my mind to think students might be encouraged to steer clear of the book. ‘The world is a violent place and it is counterproductive to pretend otherwise. Much of the violence in the story is rooted in the natural world. It is the law of nature.....Many great works of literature have included references to farming, fishing, whaling, or hunting. Is the university seriously suggesting all this literature is ringed with warnings?’

Lamont signs law stating that 'Latino,' 'Latina' and 'Latine' are preferred terms for Hispanic community

.....A debate over the use of “Latinx” in state documents appears to have reached a settlement in Connecticut, with lawmakers agreeing to use  alternative terminology that has gained wider acceptance among Spanish speakers.....On Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill clarifying that “Latino,” “Latina” and the gender-neutral “Latine,” are the preferred terms to refer to people of Latin American descent in official government forms and communications....  

.....“If 98 percent of Latinos or Latinas prefer to be called that, we should be worried about offending the majority, not only the minority,” said state Rep. Geraldo Reyes, D-Waterbury, who was one of the principal sponsors of the legislation.....Earlier this year, Arkansas became the first state in the country to ban the use of “Latinx” in official government documents upon the order of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican who labeled the term “culturally insensitive.” 

.....Despite the overwhelming support for the bill among members of both parties, some LGBTQ activists expressed disappointment that the issue had gained such traction among Democratic-majorities in the Connecticut legislature.....while he personally uses the term “Latine,” along with a growing number of Hispanics, some may choose to stick with “Latinx” or other terms for a variety of personal reasons. Due to the wider backlash against LGBTQ people and movements, Soto said that the debate over gender-inclusive terms like “Latinx” was intertwined with homophobic and transphobic rhetoric....

....While most Hispanics reported being unfamiliar with the term “Latinx”.....a majority of those who said they had heard it used said they still preferred other general terms such as Hispanic or Latino to describe their community. The survey found that just 3 percent of Hispanics used the phrase to describe themselves....

 Rhode Island state Sen. Joshua Miller charged with keying car that displayed ‘Biden Sucks’ bumper sticker

....A Rhode Island Democratic state senator was arrested after allegedly keying a car that had a “Biden Sucks” bumper sticker affixed to it, according to authorities.....State Sen. Joshua Miller, 69, was charged with vandalism/malicious injury to property for allegedly scratching a Nissan Pathfinder next to his pick-up truck at a shopping center parking lot Thursday night, police said.....The Nissan’s owner and passenger heard a loud scratching noise against their car, and then saw the mark on their vehicle. When the passenger asked Miller if he was responsible, the Democratic lawmaker flatly denied it, Cranston police said. The victim then saw the car next to his had a “Re-elect Senator Josh Miller” bumper sticker in the back of the car, prompting him to look up the name....

....The lawmaker then accused the owner of yelling at and threatening him, claiming that he “dared him” to key the car, police said. “I felt threatened,” Miller said on camera....When the officer asked why he keyed the car in response, Miller replied, “Because he was daring me to, basically....”

“Nobody is above the law, including those who make and enforce the laws,” Colonel Michael Winquist said in a statement.

Rep. Norman Grills Rep. Waters on Housing Costs at House Hearing

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) grills Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) about the “Middle-Class Borrower Protection Act of 2023,” which rolls back changes made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the fees charged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for a conventional single-family mortgage and restricts future fee adjustments, at a House Rules Committee hearing on June 20.

HOME MORTGAGE FEES: The House has passed the Middle Class Borrower Protection Act (H.R. 3564), sponsored by Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, to cancel recent changes to fee structures for single-family mortgages made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency by reinstating the previous fee structures. Davidson said the recent changes, by subsidizing higher-risk mortgagors who had lower down payments and lower credit scores, unfairly and "disproportionately hurt individuals with credit scores of 680 or greater." A bill opponent, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said the changes were an attempt "to ensure that middle-class home buyers are not unfairly charged more for risks that are already covered by private mortgage insurance." The vote, on June 23, was 230 yeas to 189 nays.

NYC Aides Doctored Photo of Fallen Officer to Back Up Mayor’s Story

.....Last year Mayor Eric Adams claimed that for decades he had been carrying a photo of his police officer friend who died in the line of duty, but a new New York Times report found the mayor’s office actually created the photo only after he began mentioning it in media interviews and that aides went so far as to distress the print-out so it would look old and worn.....Adams first mentioned carrying the photo of Officer Robert Venable, who died in 1987, last year while talking about the slaying of two New York City police officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance in Harlem......“I still think about Robert,” Adams, a former police captain, said at a news conference last year. “I keep a picture of Robert in my wallet.....”

......One week later, Adams produced the wallet-sized photo at the request of the New York Times and posed for a portrait with it in his office....He mentioned the photo again in two television interviews last spring after the deaths of officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera in Harlem......“I understand the pain,” Adams said on News 12 at the time. “I carry around a picture of Robert Venable, my close friend, that was shot several years ago during my early days of police, and I always have Robert’s picture. The pain never dissipates.”.....He also showed off the photo at a Medal Day ceremony at the Police Academy in June 2022, calling Venable “one of my closest friends.....”

......But the new report reveals that aides in the mayor’s office were instructed to create a photo of Venable days after Adams first mentioned carrying it, using a picture of the officer that was found on Google. The aides printed the photo in black-and-white and poured coffee on it to make it look worn, a source told the New York Times.....Two former City Hall aides reportedly confirmed the creation of the photo. A spokesman for the mayor did not deny that the photo Adams had shown reporters and at the police ceremony was created by a City Hall aide, but said that Adams had indeed carried a photo of the officer for decades....

......Venable’s niece, Meredith Venson, was a teenager when her uncle died and remembered Adams visiting with her family after her uncle’s death and that he was kind to her grandmother and had driven the family to events. She said she had not seen Adams in almost 30 years until this year.....Januari Venable, the officer’s daughter who was 8 at the time of her father’s death, told the Times she did not recall ever meeting Adams until this year...

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor’s staff prodded colleges and libraries to buy her books

......Sotomayor’s staff has often prodded public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books, works that have earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009. Details of those events, largely out of public view, were obtained by The Associated Press through more than 100 open records requests to public institutions. The resulting tens of thousands of pages of documents offer a rare look at Sotomayor and her fellow justices beyond their official duties.....

......In her case, the documents reveal repeated examples of taxpayer-funded court staff performing tasks for the justice’s book ventures, which workers in other branches of government are barred from doing.....“This is one of the most basic tenets of ethics laws that protects taxpayer dollars from misuse,” said Kedric Payne, a former deputy chief counsel at the Office of Congressional Ethics.... “The problem at the Supreme Court is there’s no one there to say whether this is wrong.”.....Then, as the public cost of hosting the event soared almost tenfold, a Sotomayor aide emailed with a different, urgent concern: She said the organizers did not buy enough copies of the justice’s book, which attendees had to purchase or have on hand in order to meet Sotomayor after her talk.....“For an event with 1,000 people and they have to have a copy of Just Ask to get into the line, 250 books is definitely not enough,” the aide, Anh Le, wrote staffers at the Multnomah County Library......

.....At Clemson University in South Carolina, school officials offered to buy 60 signed copies before a 2017 appearance; Sotomayor’s staff noted that most schools order around 400. Michigan State University asked Sotomayor to come to campus and in 2018 spent more than $100,000 on copies of her memoir, “My Beloved World,” to distribute to incoming first-year students. The books were shipped to the Supreme Court, where copies were taken to her chambers by court workers and signed by her before being sent to the school......Sotomayor, whose annual salary this year is $285,400, is not alone in earning money by writing books. Such income is exempt from the court’s $30,000 restriction on outside yearly pay. But none of the justices has as forcefully leveraged publicly sponsored travel to boost book sales as has Sotomayor, according to emails and other records reviewed by the AP.....

*****

Point to note, I also denounce the lack of ethics, with the media releases about current information, implicating Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito in profiting from "gifts" from wealthy corporate donors. 

I do not believe Congress having the power to "write a Code Of Ethics" for SCOTUS respects basic Separation Of Powers and Checks And Balances. That's a different issue but equally as dangerous to our Republic. But I'd have no problem with public hearings of ALL OF SCOTUS on any potential criminal activity or a failure to be above reproach. 

My solution is to force anyone on SCOTUS to wear a camera full time and be under camera review perpetually. Everywhere. Day and night non stop. Full transparency that any American can view at any time.

3.  Redistribute $14 Trillion in wealth based solely on race.

4.  Put damaging labels on very young children and mitaliate their sex organs.

5.  Ban speech which goes against their authoritarian values.

6.  Secretly spy on all Americans and collect data.

This is a reasonably good example.  Riley Gaines is not anti-trans, she just does not want to compete against men.  But, the tactic is to label her as "anti-trans", because it is effective.

You see, you need not do this to every person.  But, do it to those who stand up and speak for themselves.  Make an example of them, to suppress anyone else.

A few months back they had an episode called Crying Wolf which was about a phenomenon called "Virtuous Victimhood":

Quote

It used to be that we tried our best to conceal disadvantages, hardships, and humiliations. But new research explores a curious shift: some people are flaunting limitations that don’t exist. This week, psychologists Karl Aquino and Jillian Jordan on the strange phenomenon of wanting to seem worse off than we really are.

The pod is only 52 minutes long and worth a listen.  But if you don't:  they spend a lot of time discussing a guy who pretended to be LGBTQ+, then talk about a scientific link between such people and the "dark triad" of Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy.  In the above link they provide a link to the paper they referenced, published in the APA Journal of Personality and Social Psychology:

Quote

Signaling Virtuous Victimhood as Indicators of Dark Triad Personalities

Ekin Ok, Yi Qian, Brendan Strejcek, and Karl Aquino

University of British Columbia

We investigate the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue. In our first
three studies, we show that the virtuous victim signal can facilitate nonreciprocal resource transfer from
others to the signaler. Next, we develop and validate a victim signaling scale that we combine with an
established measure of virtue signaling to operationalize the virtuous victim construct. We show that
individuals with Dark Triad traits—Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy—more frequently signal
virtuous victimhood, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables that are commonly
associated with victimization in Western societies. In Study 5, we show that a specific dimension of
