‘Because jews are better at finding ways of rationalising away their bias and hypocrisy, they may well not believe that they are being “unfair” at all. In this sense, it can be said that intelligent yet paranoid people do not “know themselves”—meaning that they live in a fantasy world in which there is nothing wrong with them; only with others.
This personality type will see the world as packed full of hostile persecutors who want to destroy them, meaning that an obviously Mostly Peaceful protest at the Capitol becomes an “insurrection” in which people could have been killed.
This personality type will also engage in “paranoid projection,” whereby they purport to find an aspect of themselves aspect they dislike in others, causing them to despise these people. “I hate them” becomes “They hate me,” based on finding some minor evidence of this. Hence the Leftist obsession with how “hateful” their opponents are.’
