War and Mongers of War 0
At the Psychology Today website, Sterlin L. Mosley argues that there is a “clinical link between authoritarianism, narcissism, and armed conflict.” He makes three main points:
- Authoritarian and narcissistic leaders share a root: a fragile ego that cannot tolerate challenge.
- Narcissistic leaders experience political opposition as personal threat, not strategic friction.
- A narcissistic leader’s military becomes an extension of their distorted ego, not a policy tool.
