Psychological invalidation, similar to gaslighting, is one of the most lethal forms of emotional distress. It kills self-confidence, dignity, self-esteem, and individuality. It's to escape accountability.
PBS News correspondent Stephanie Sy describes what she saw inside the arena:
"We did see Mr. Musk during that speech and we saw the gesture. I don't know whether the audience here interpreted it the way it was subsequently interpreted on social media. It certainly appears to be a 'Heil Hitler.' At the time, what he was saying— we went back to the transcript, and I remember him saying it, he was saying, 'My heart goes out to you.' So he was gesturing to his chest and then there was the hand straight out, which harkens back for a lot of folks to the Nazi salute. But we didn't see that reaction here. There wasn't a gasp or a pause or any even reinforcement of the gesture. So, it's a little hard to tell, from where we sat, the meaning of it."
Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.
“Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.
“It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said.
Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.
Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
We have been manipulated to believe psychopaths engage in overt, extreme harm like serial killers and narcissists are people who like a lot of attention.
We have been led to believe this by predatory academics/researchers who are invested in their true nature including their shared attributes, commonly used tactics, & red flags remaining undistinguished.
My data indicates there is just one type of predatory or dark personality. They are profoundly dangerous, manipulative, exploitative, deceitful, sexually boundaryless, but able to blend into the general population quite successfully, often seeming normal, even kind & in some cases highly successful & well educated.
The high functioning dark personalities harm in ways that are more covert but my data indicates they are as dangerous as a serial killer, they are just smarter with better impulse control capability, more money & other features so they might come close to the justice system without ever being held to account.
Humanity must get crystal clear about the attributes & red flags of predators. We have been kept in the dark for too long and millions have been emotionally, mentally, sexually, financially, reputationally, physically harmed in the most horrendous of ways as a result. It does not have to be this way.
Elon Musk does what looks like a Hitler salute after talking of victory at Trump inauguration, thanking supporters for assuring "the future of civilisation"
That is a very good point. Dark personalities have brain anomalies of the prefrontal cortex and amygdala so they are not motivated in the same way as others. They do not get satisfaction from love or affinity or relationships. They get satisfaction from manipulating and controlling and disadvantaging and deceiving and exploiting. We think everybody is like us, but they’re not.
@shadows_control These asshole trick you and lie to your face so damn bad. Narcissistic as fuck. They have everything over your head; make you think you're not worthy of anything. The gaslighting does and physical abuse can follow as well. Separate you from everything and one. It's bad.
"Why on earth did you marry him if he was abusive?"
I've heard that a lot.
No one is attracted to an abuser. It always starts with a manipulative act of charm, care, kindness, generosity, and/or thoughtfulness to secure your trust and commitment. And when they have you right where they want you - isolated, dependent, and wholly invested in the relationship, they start to drop the facade, one tiny, unnoticeable drop at a time.
