How to Poison a Narcissist's Pleasure in Control

When trying to grasp the history of the Cold War as a child, I read books like Animal Farm and 1984 to understand the allure of a controlling social dystopia as a form of political governance. 

I asked my father — a military veteran afflicted with Antisocial Personality Disorder — for answers: “Why did this type of society keep becoming popular repeatedly in history?”

“Some people hate freedom,” he replied bluntly. 

As an adult, I can see now how everything a narcissist accuses of others is confession. 

My father, of course, hated freedom. 

His racism and sexism ensured that freedom were antithetical to his values of narcissistic superiority. 

The only freedom he cared for was his own, and it wasn’t freedom he wanted, but PRIVILEGE. 

A narcissist sees freedom as the FREEDOM TO HARM OTHERS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES…they suffer from cognitive distortions and delusion, so they don’t think in terms of reality, but in narcissistic fantasy. 

At the time, his answer made no sense: why would anyone hate freedom?

Freedom benefits all of us. 

And why would anyone want to hurt others?

Did it not revolt them to do so? Did it not eat them alive with guilt?
