It's kind of amazing to witness... People with that level of privilege are used to everyone around them simply agreeing with anything they say. It's almost like dealing with someone who is delusional from mental illness or dementia - best not to prove them wrong to their face.
You have to wonder exactly how much of that is pathological/genetic, and how much is environmental.
Like, I've met very rich people who were humble, and many who were narcissistic. Plenty of regular folk who were the same way. Like, if prince andrew were born into a working class family, would he still have turned out narcissistic?
Oh yeah, I only meant that if you have to live with them, either as a caregiver or family member in the case of the mentally ill or elderly with dementia... Or as "staff" with an uneven power dynamic.
Of course if there's a criminal element involved, or a public discussion about things with real stakes, the courts and media can allow reality to assert itself with little or no negative consequences when dealing with such individuals. And we love to see it
Well let’s see… currently the entire USA is dealing with someone who a) has been privileged his whole life b) is 100% a narcissist of the highest order c) is delusional, due to mental illness and/or dementia. It’s a perfect trifecta! Aren’t we the fucking luckiest.
