What the fuck is this? 1984? The United States government and their masked gaggle of goons are going to have to pry my First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech from my cold, dead hand before I’d ever preemptively surrender it. I’ve already been threatened, tortured, beaten, and silenced by Big Daddy. Back in the 80s. Ain't nothing new to me. And while this terrible thought might petrify everyone else, or those who've never been there before, it only serves to burn me deeper to my 8th grade core. Our Constitutionally-protected (the First Amendment for a reason) Freedom of Speech is not a privilege dispensed by the so-called powerful; it's a birthright recognized by the wise and the sane. It allows the informed to speak truth to the ignorant, the outcast to name their pain, and the dissenter to spark revolutions with barely a whisper . This is what makes America great. Punto.

No one is more dangerous than a malignant narcissist . These folks are evil personified and consistently exhibit extreme personality traits that combine cruelty, deceit, and an unmitigated thirst for control regardless of the circumstances. When such an individual gains power —whether in politics, business, or on a personal level —the consequences can be devastating. Though rarely for them.  Unlike your run of the mill narcissist who may be self-centered and attention-seeking but still functions within societal norms, the malignant narcissist doesn't believe that rules or laws apply to them. Therefore, granting them any degree of authority invites certain despair and often, death.   Some, like notorious cult leaders Charles Manson and Jim Jones, become serial killers by proxy, where they persuade their followers to menace, threaten, even butcher and poison others on their behalf. They don't have to do the dirty work, being the lazy cowards they typically are. Instead, th...
