    Similar, Bijou, in the case of flat earthers and other conspiraloons.

    “I’m an Aquarium.”

    Noun: a transparent tank of water in which live fish and other water creatures and plants are kept.

    I’m guessing you mean Aquarian 🙂

    Hehe, thank you Lizzie but it was a joke. When at a circus it’s hard not to act the clown.

    “Geo-politics and support for Ukraine.”

    I looked at the first paragraph of your linked to article All-in with the imperialist propaganda narrative and I’m already dumber. I actually know less than when I started reading. It’s like magic. Amazing.

    Another “anarchist “sides with Ukraine government

    Exiled Russian Activist Challenges Pacifist Approach to Ending War on Ukraine

    “Our task is to stop the aggressor. That means first and foremost building solidarity with Ukraine and its people. They have been screaming for help for months. They don’t have enough weapons to fight against Russian aggression. They don’t have defensive weapons to protect their citizens from missile attacks. They deserve all the military and financial help to liberate their country.
    Instead of putting demands on Ukraine to stop fighting, we should be focused on doing all we can to weaken Russia’s war machine…”

    I see that Zelensky is pushing the “mass graves” propaganda again, this time in relation to Kherson:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-war-ukraine-latest-news-zelenskiy-warns-more-attacks-energy-2022-11-07/

    The term “mass grave” suggests that people have been rounded up and shot. In fact most of the bodies in them will be people killed in the crossfire, including by Ukrainian shells and bullets; no doubt a few will be armed civilians shot by Russian soldiers.

    But Kherson city — wisely — surrendered to the Russian forces without the armed resistance urged on by the Ukrainian regime. So nobody was killed in any crossfire. So there will be no mass graves there (unless the Ukrainian regime fakes one).

    Nearer the front line and far from the city and on the moving front line there will probably be graves of those killed in the crossfire.

    Note that even Reuters says that Zelensky’s claim is unverified, the nearest they can come to say they don’t believe him.

    The Ukrainian regime exploits these “mass graves” to the maximum (one has even become a tourist attraction for visiting politicians), both to keep up the hatred of its own subjects for the Russians as sub-human and to win sympathy abroad to bring pressure on governments to keep sending arms — meaning there will be more mass graves.

    True Narcissist – “Bojo’s Brain, back to the pages of Tween Vogue are we? While you’re at it, what’s my
    Horoscope have to say today? I’m an Aquarium. Lol”

    True Narcissist – “Hehe, thank you Lizzie but it was a joke. When at a circus it’s hard not to act the clown.”

    I quote directly from my last posting –
    “The person with NPD will flatly deny having any of the identified personality traits, dismiss and challenge the concept of NPD and call the whole process a waste of time, whilst reiterating the “special” nature of their personality.”

    Sadly TN, you are so predictable.

    The following guidance on treating people with NPD gives a little insight into the real self of people with this condition:

    “No matter how obnoxiously narcissists behave, it’s important to remember that their self-aggrandizement almost always covers up painful longings for true connection, intimacy, and a sense that they’re “good enough.” In fact, rather than being purely entitled and spoiled, most narcissists are wounded, deprived, and avoidant, burdened with unattended loneliness and shame”

    This is the case with the conspiraloons. They reject study, but tell everyone to “look for themselves.” “How do you know the Earth’s a globe? I know it’s flat because I don’t see any curvature. Your books say it’s a globe, but they are masonic lies!”

    When one tries to reason, they dismiss you as a “book person” and say no one can know anything. But then they say “However, I KNOW!”

    In fact they are repeating word for word some self-styled online guru whom they practically worship.

    Just as ideology followers repeat the slogans of the leader.

    You’re spot on TM, it’s the same thing in many ways. With the conspiraloons they have “more insight” and “special knowledge” which sets them apart from the rest of the world.

    If you look at the similarities in behaviour between True Narcissist and Donald Trump, they are striking.

    Anything that doesn’t support their view of the world is “fake news”, people who disagree with them are devalued by comparing them to people they consider to be of low social value, hence using terms like “retarded” as a form of insult. Promoting the fact that they have special insight that no others have. One of the most noticeable similarities is changing someone’s name into an insult. Trump has begun calling Ron DeSantos, Ron Desanctimonious. Remind anyone of someone?

    And Trump support Vladimir Putin, dictators and authoritarian leaders, and Qanon peoples support Putin, and both are right wingers, and both are mafiosos, therefore any follower of Putin can support Donald Trump, and a follower of Donald Trump can support Putin, and we are the reactionaries. There is a new political current known as the Renovated Socialists and they support all kind of government, and leaders and does not make ny differences if they are reactionaries, that is the new that are supporting Vladimir Putin, and there are many of them in South America, it is just another name for Social Democrats
