To know and not to know,

to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them,

to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy,

to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—

that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.

Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.

Grooming is a subtle, sophisticated manipulation strategy. It’s a key part of the behavior seen in seasoned, methodical human Predators. It should be noted that Grooming as a technique is not only used by adults to manipulate children. That is merely the typical, most well-known scenario where that kind of behavior proves to be especially effective.

This is an advanced skill for any Narcissist, Machiavellian, Psychopath and Sadist; a desirable standard for everyone with a Dark Tetrad personality. Grooming is part of a larger skillset we can understand as Malignant Conditioning. Gaslighting is another part of the same skillset. Malignant Conditioning skills are used to achieve the opposite of what we can call social behavior and beneficial nurturing. These skills do not mean to heal or protect anyone. They are weapons. Instruments of war. Combat skills. They are like spells cast against another person to be aggressive and cause damage. This is non-physical violence. Bloodsport mental martial arts. Real Black Magic.

Malignant Conditioning is the long-term, subtle, methodical alternative to the primitive, impulsive, immediate act of overwhelming a victim. Instead of using one-time, physical rape-type violence without victim consent, condition-type abuse tries to manipulate the victim into giving consent, to open them up for repeat abuse so they can be subjected to an ongoing strip-mining process.

There are several key advantages for the Predator if they take the time for Malignant Conditioning: First off, there is minimal risk of victim backlash. There is also minimal risk of punishment or intervention from society. If the Predator chooses a victim carefully, they are within the Predator’s sphere of influence. Internet simps and followers, subordinates, employees, protégés, students, job colleagues, neighbors, spouses, siblings, relatives and children all make suitable and potentially attractive targets. If a target is easy to reach, it typically means that they are also regularly available, if not constantly.

Like in any act of torture and controlled, fine-tuned, methodical violence there is one major downside: There is a risk of overdoing it, sucking a victim dry, hurting them too much, causing injury they are unable to recover from. That will destroy the victim, which will render them useless and unavailable for ongoing abuse. That can create a major inconvenience for the Predator. They probably need to look for a swap specimen and go through another lengthy process of Malignant Conditioning. This means that there is nothing social about care or restraint of a Predator, if it happens at all. They try to avoid causing excessive harm to a victim to minimize cost and maximize benefit, unless they actively look for a replacement.

All people with Dark Tetrad traits use Malignant Conditioning, even if personal preferences, styles and degrees vary. This is an integral part of their behavior. They are undercover influencers by nature, habitual liars, seasoned manipulators, relentless self-promoters, working hard on their personalized acts and fakes, spamming their personal propaganda campaigns. Each has their own set of self-serving ideas, and they all broadcast these ideas as hard and as far as possible, to reach as many people as possible. Dark Tetrad individuals are like mind fishers. They keep throwing out the net, scouting for prey. When they notice that someone responds, abandons their own perspective on reality and adopts their manipulative propaganda spam as real, they learn to draw close, draw in the net and take advantage. That is when the actual process of preparing, using and strip-mining a victim begins.

A Narcissist specializes in self-propaganda. They can only exist in a universe made of EGOcentric fantasies, and they aggressively broadcast this fantasy universe in the hope of someone being young, stupid, naïve, weak, good-natured or dependent enough to mistake these fantasies for reality. As much as a Narcissist hates the idea of being like other people, they certainly hate the idea of being alone. They want their EGO empire to be upgraded with subjects, and they want it populated by victims. They try to get into everybody’s heads, undermine our sense of identity, destroy what is real and replace it with lies, denial, selective truth, fantasies, and Doublethink.

If we do not take care, they will keep implanting self-serving, artificial, mind-altering ideas until these implants become parts of our regular mindscapes. They will brainwash everyone in reach with an endless stream of unhealthy, fabricated, delusional, distracting, misleading, half-baked, detrimental junk —

Narcissistic EGO does not respect anyone. That is the truth, even if it remains unknown and untold. However, EGO does need to feel justified with handing out disrespect to others. That supports the logic of EGO personal narrative, especially the Fairytale of the Supervictim. Typically EGO must take a moment, as small and short as it may be, to look for a reason, an explanation as to why IT is going to treat us with that hard-coded lack of respect yet again, as usual. As always.

What we can expect from EGO in that situation is what we can call a Token Reason. Usually this is a sporadic explanation or some low-effort excuse. It always involves blame-shifting. It does not need to be smart, nor does it have to make any sense, but there has to be something, and EGO must make it clear that ITS lack of respect is our fault, not theirs. It was us, again. It is always us, every time. We cause EGO to disrespect us, and we never stop. Somehow we keep instigating, keep triggering, keep forcing EGO to disrespect us.

EGO keeps a collection of Token Excuses for ITS disrespect to serve different people in different scenarios. For example, EGO may tell Person A that IT can only accept opinions from Person B, therefore cannot respect Person A. EGO may go as far as to claim that it is explicitly Person B who expects EGO to disrespect Person A. EGO will try this while Person B is not around, to avoid being called out and exposed for it. Again, blame-shifting is a key element here. EGO is the Eternal Supervictim, even and especially when IT is the offender. EGO is eternally flawless, blameless and justified. To maintain the narrative, someone else must always take the blame for all the chaos and conflict EGO spreads, for all the Narcissistic drama IT draws us into, for all the damage EGO does to everyone around IT.

While there is always a Token Reason for Narcissist disrespect, none of these Tokens are authentic or real. EGO disrespect is not situational; it is universal. The true reason for any of ITS countless, endless acts of disrespect is that EGO respects no one. Not one, single person. EGO likes to think that there is always a valid reason for disrespect, but there never is one. There is only one true, invalid reason: EGO needs to maintain the narrative that sustains ITS overblown, artificial self-image. Because of ITS rigid, fragile self-infatuation, the delusion of both absolute innocence and total superiority, EGO is both unwilling and unable to respect anyone, let alone accept them as equal.

EGO may pretend to respect someone else, now and then — when this serves ITS self-interest, or when it promotes EGO more than the person IT gives credit to. This kind of fake respect typically happens when the respected person is not present, has no idea that it is happening, and has no way of benefitting from it. The idea here is to draw on another person as a resource, to make their existence work in the Narcissist’s favor, to benefit from someone else’s achievements, their talent, their work, their influence, and their status.

Whenever EGO is confronted with the valid, independent opinion of another person — especially when it does not align with ITS opinion — EGO experiences it as being threatened. Being Under Attack. EGO flares up with a mix of fear and anger, and withdraws into a self-defense kind of fantasy. IT overreacts, and proceeds to attack the perceived attacker.

It is a well-known fact among experts, therapists and abuse victims alike; pathological EGO never forgets any situation that IT considers a challenge to ITS Supervictim-Superhero narrative. People with strong Narcissistic traits care to, want to, and like to recall the smallest slight even from their childhood, some less-than-perfect moment with their parents, their siblings or another child. They never care to forget these things, they never set them aside, and they never learn or grow from them.

There is no creature more maladaptive and mindlessly vengeful than EGO. IT is insanely rigid, insular, cyclic, brittle and petty, and IT does not care if IT was slighted deliberately or accidentally. EGO remembers these moments of being questioned, ignored or denied as a mentally healthy person would remember being shot, stabbed, or punched in the face.

Pathological EGO views the smallest, most random, most marginal delay or deviation from their personal narrative as a personal attack. Without a second thought this is classified as a capital crime, an existential threat or a life-threatening injury. In extreme cases EGO declares it an act of terrorism, a sacrilege, a sinful act of heresy, or a demonic ritual of blasphemy. The EGO experience of being challenged and criticized is never based on any kind of adult-level reason or logic. ITS ability to resolve this problem is nonexistent, and ITS reaction is always delusional, inappropriate and extreme. Behavior ranges from helplessly ridiculous to borderline insane. Nothing about EGO reaction in this scenario is based on reality. If anything the experience becomes part of an ongoing teenage horror fantasy show. It is an all-internal process, all about maladaptive pathological EGO, all about EGO alone, all about ITS isolation, ITS desperation, ITS suffering, ITS hunger, ITS fear, ITS need, ITS anger. Everyone else, everything around EGO is — nothing. Next to nothing. Nothing but enemies, obstacles, zombies, flunkies, and stage props.

And so, pathological EGO is eternally doomed to overreact. Which leads to more criticism, more challenges, more resistance, to another negative reaction from others. Which in turn causes more EGO trauma, leading to another episode in the ongoing teenage fantasy horror show of EGO, The Lone Supervictim-Superhero. Which causes yet another overreaction.

While i generally feel that it is appropriate to write essays from the bird perspective of a bigger, general picture, i make a difference in the case of Mainstream-Men. Bill Cosby, Jeremy Hambly and Ashton Hall are referenced directly. Jake Paul, Sean Combs and Andrew Tate are mentioned in tags.

I am aware that this Dirty Half-Dozen is an arbitrary bunch to put in the spotlight. Many thousands, if not millions of other bad examples are getting away as i am writing these words, seeming harmless, hiding in anonymity. However, there are cases that urge an author to come down from her bird perspective. Be concrete. Name bad examples. This is one of those cases.

So just in case some of these Mainstream-Men come across my little essay about them, i want to be sure that they are actually able to have at least a basic understanding of what the problem is i have with them. And i know that i am not the only one with that problem, with that kind of male individual. That is another reason why i want to make my point as accurate and unambiguous as possible.

I know how nonchalant Mainstream-Men can be when it comes to the damage they cause; how delusional they become when it comes to the responsibilities they ignore. How fast and easy they are with downplay, denial, excuses, shifting blame, signaling virtue and playing the victim. Mainstream-Men are feeding on the benefits of being popular and relatable. They are enabled by majority, and they are spoiled by society. They run through their lives with a permanent V.I.P. pass handed out by widespread support and public opinion. They are moving in herds, hiding in networks, and hunting in mobs.
