&lt;blockquote&gt;The narcissist&#039;s is usually infantile, either because of a fixation (pre-genital or genital) or due to an unresolved Oedipal Conflict.

I think 4 me that the Zionazi is a refinement of erarlier Supremacist models.  The Zionazi allows supremacism even if you are not a Jew like Jimmy Savile or Madonna you can still subscribe to the Zionist dogma.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[yes, a thought-provoking post. i hope the following remarks are not too far off topic.

in our dysfunctional society &lt;i&gt;growing up mentally and emotionally&lt;/i&gt; is not a common occurrence. in the case of the great majority of people, for a variety of reasons,the process of development is arrested at some stage. 

what is regarded as &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt; because of its prevalence, is actually &lt;i&gt;pathological&lt;/i&gt; when viewed in terms of our true potential.

it is in the nature of things that people cannot easily become aware of the pathological nature of their prematurely ossified personality.

two very common behaviours of an internsely repetitive nature illustrate this. they are, as it happens, behaviours that distinguish &lt;i&gt;modern times&lt;/i&gt; from previous epochs: driving cars (=automobiles for US readers)and watching television. what could be more &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt;?

for myself, i have never been a driver, and emancipated myself from the TV habit more than twenty years ago. yet according to statistics
a considerable number of people spend more than 25% of their waking hours on these two activities. 

for many, the driving is virtually forced on them by the spatial patterning of homes, workplaces and places of recreation. it is noticeable that in the USA where the phase of rapid urban development took place in an era of mass car ownership, the population densities are much lower than in European cities at a comparable level of economic development. even so, at a societal level, this is a matter of choice.

probably the greatest restriction on psychological development occurs during childhood. children are more or less bludgeoned into conformity. it is heart-rending to see how early their innocent wonder is stolen from them and replaced by the joyless false religion of consumerism.

the view that children are just little grown-ups-in-waiting is as erroneous as it is widespread.  for the great majority of people, the spiritual peak of their lives occurs between the ages of three and seven. yet this is completely ignored. 

only a fortunate few experience the later adult peak. and outside that charmed circle it is hardly acknowledged that such a thing can really occur.

if it is acknowledged, then it is regarded as some kind of law of nature - whereas there is no evidence that this is really so, except for the imposition of societal norms.

being slightly odd can make life difficult in many ways, but it also serves as a protection. i am odd myself, and have probably only clung to life thus far through the good fortune of being supported in ways  not always available. 

yet despite the generally confused nature of my inchoate mental processes, i had certain intuitions which later more evidenced-based reasoning supports. for example i early formulated the idea that character is not, as commonly assumed, the product of education and rearing. on the contrary, it seemed obvious that character is what, if anything, &lt;i&gt;survives&lt;/i&gt; the process of rearing and education.

likewise, and again at an early age, i realised that everyone around me held an implicit(unconscious) view of human life that requires an increase up to a certain age, say from birth to about 40-45 years old, followed by a slow decline. my instinct was that if i wished to fulfill my own potential i must not accept this &#039;programming&#039;.

perhaps that is why at age 64 (hexadecimal 40, despite some physical disabilities attributable to wear and tear, i feel mentally to be only at the end of my adolescence. that is no guarantee of longevity - i may be required to move along before having experienced much of my nascent adulthood, especially as one of the prices i have paid for the prolonged youthfulness is financial insecurity. i am far from being viable on my own - having always mistrusted financial transactions i am an instinctively social being in a situation which sets up rugged individualism and independence as &#039;ideals&#039;. a US friend now living in the UK once said round the dinner table &lt;i&gt;we all know David is a flake&lt;/i&gt; - a term i was unfamiliar with. i looked it up, and though it was hardly complimentary, i could see some validity in the attribution. later the same person ventured the judgement that if i had been born in the US i would already be long dead. such counterfactuals are difficult to interpret, but again i saw there was some truth in what he said. and in both cases his commments were meant affectionately, rather than aimed as insults.

but &lt;i&gt;that&#039;s enough about me&lt;/i&gt;. what about you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[looking at that photo of nutless, he looks like an adolescent faggot in an old fat guy&#039;s body. which may be something to pursue further. 

do zionazis ever grow up mentally and emotionally?

nazis and white supremacists don&#039;t, so it stands to reason their fellow alike thinking dysfunctionals, the zionazis, may indefinitely lag in those departments as well.

and if so, how could they possible still remain zionazis then?]]></description>
