Someone who's drifting into non-sanity, the map that they have is just breaking away.

So the narcissist has a delusional view of reality.

It's not reality-based.

In fact, the point of it is to defend against reality.

So where you see policies and ideologies that are trying to enforce a fantasy that's a total break away from reality, we can say some of these start to look like narcissistic defenses more than a political ideology.

Because it's a fantasy-based disorder that really, really, you know, clings to delusion, I would say utopianism.

If you see lots of utopianism, you're probably looking at something that's quite narcissistic and it's not rooted in reality.

So...

As a narcissist, I can draw supply.

I get a thrill.

I get excitement from forcing my delusional view of reality onto the world.

That's what narcissistic abuse is.

I'm forcing you to see the world the way I see it, but that's not reality.

That's my fantasy.

That's my utopia.

in which I'm wonderful and amazing and reality is like this and this is a film that you've just entered and I'm the star of the movie and you're a bit part player.

That's all part of the narcissistic fantasy.

I'm not saying all of the political ideologies I can see on the table look like this, but some of them very clearly do.

They're not rooted in reality.

They're rooted in utopianism and rooted in a fantasy.
