> Its always vogue to call out public/popular humans for diseases. Not the best look.

Why? Because they still have a decent amount of support and don’t want to alienate their fans?

By 1936 it was clear that Hitler was a crazy narcissist. If people don’t speak out due to fear it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because everyone thinks the number of people supporting the narcissist is so much bigger than it actually is.

The best antidote against a narcissist is having the largest possible amount of people spending time with them 1:1 or in the same building anyway.



>Why?

Because by itself it's just an ad hominem, just an attack against someone's character, with no other substance. It's not better than to point a finger and yell "Ur dumb!".


That’s how you get less of something you don’t like in the world.

By pointing out a bad behavior and denounce it.

“Call out a Narcissist day” should be a thing
