131. Authoritarians ARE trauma creators
How else can authoritarians pull off such an illusion as "power" when they are so weak and uninsightful and unwilling to share or empathize?

Our culture has inverted the meaning of strength.

Instead of power directed outwards to others as the indicator of strength

In our culture power is directed inwards to mostly glorify a singular false self,to create an illusion of strength for a bully by the bully creating a posse of syncophants and sniveling patsies around himself for creating mutual irresponsibility or in other words bullies who are pathetic,seek enablers so the bully can get away with victimizing and diminishing the truly strong ,the outwardly oriented giving power type people the bullies ENVY.
