"All anxiety is linked to one object (in this case the unvaccinated) ... and therefore becomes mentally manageable. All blame can be placed outside oneself, with the Other and subsequently all the frustration and anger can also be directed at that singular object." - from the Psychology of Totalitarianism by Mattias Desmet

This is the kind of thinking that enables people to do the most horrific things in the name of virtue. This is how holy wars and ethnic cleansing is justified. Just appeal to a higher power be it god or love and be sure to demonise the other. Abandon your sense of reason and fairness and prop yourself up by calling yourself a hero. It is unbelievable the lengths people will go to in order to not have to admit they were wrong.

Someone with NPD can cause significant distress for anyone who associates with them."

If that is an MD heaven help their lab rat patients, "yes, it might be poison but it's for your own good." I believe she has deleted the tweet now, but her twatter feed is straight from 1984. As dear George said;

"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".
