I... what does that even mean?
Fascinating. I never understood why the cuckolding fetish (fixation? obsession?) came with such a strong overlap with, I guess, race play? Feels like a charitable way to put it.
I didn't believe it at first, but any quick web search will show that cuckolding largely is about the races of the people involved.
Which makes a lot more sense if seen through the framework you just described.
Never really thought of narcissisms in such a plural and mundane way. Is this a school of abnormal psychology or something?
Interesting lens to look through. I've always been a sucker for this kind of transactional analysis.
There is something called "collective narcissism," and a lot of this info is in various studies and works. Here's one study about gender narcissism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-020-01193-3
Sure, yeah, but none of that explains what billionaires being "negrous" means? Like something something connect them with the same negative attributes that they keep going on about?
Can white billionaires be "negrous"?
Okay yeah my bad for trying to look for rationality in racism, true enough.
I know I'm an idiot, but I actually still don't understand it.
So there is no black people, that are billionaires. So that is not a problem. But he wants there to be a problem. So he just says that they act black. Which is a problem.
?
His hatred of blackness is based on a delusion, an unreality, a false narrative. Therefore, it doesn't actually need to make sense. He just compulsively uses that narrative to either feel 1) validated, smart, amazing, grandiose or 2) hated, a monster, the biggest victim and villain. He can even flip back and forth between these. These feelings are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE* for them, and it is what they prioritize over EVERYTHING ELSE.
So it isn't about making sense. It is about feeling grandiose and vulnerable. That's it. It never had anything to do with black people in the first place, because the narratives he has around them werentreal anyway. It was about picking something he could get supply from.
_*Addictions aren't really real but for the purpose of this conversation, supply is like an addictive drug
Where I'm lost is does this mean he thinks billionaires are too overly physically prowessed, or because they are insufficiently intellectual?
It is simply manipulation and bad faith arguments to control people. He doesn't actually think anything either way about them, he is frustrated and this is the narrative he uses to express frustration and manipulation
ok I'm going to TRY to explain his thinking but I'm likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.
What he's saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they're insanely wealthy when "they're not".
this is what he likely means when he says "n-word rich". Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He's watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this "bling" has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that's what he means by "n-word rich".
he could have just said "The problem is the majority of billionaires aren't actually billionaires. They just think they are."
That's what I thought he was saying at first, but that still doesn't even make any sense though. You are either a billionaire or you are not. I don't know of anyone who goes around claiming to be a billionaire when they are not, and I could probably name a few who are but never mention it.
Also why would it be a problem? Is he saying there is not enough of a wealth gap? That's demonstrably false.
And what's with the nature and function bit?
Sounds to me he's just spouting hatred to be provocative without any real point.
Some people like to rebrand the n-word as a non-racial term. Pretending that it is not tied to skin color or racism but behavior.
No idea. I do think billionaires are a serious problem and shouldn't be allowed. Dont care how many business they start. They have the power to buy elections and play games with our entire world so fuck em.
