🛡️ "Rescuer Myths": How people with "White Knight" syndrome end up protecting the narcissist and self-destruct.

Many with the "White Knight" syndrome believe they can save or fix a narcissist, driven by a deep need to feel needed or valued. But this often leads them to protect the narcissist's ego at their own expense, ignoring their own boundaries and well-being.

This dynamic is dangerous because it fuels the narcissist's control and manipulation while causing emotional burnout, confusion, and self-doubt in the rescuer.

It's important to recognize #SelfCare is not selfish. Real strength lies in setting boundaries and seeking support, rather than endlessly trying to fix someone who may never change.

If you recognize this pattern, remember: healing begins when you stop trying to save others and start saving yourself. 💙 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #BoundariesMatter

Tim Nicholls: scrap your sham ‘review’ and reinstate care!

All young people deserve the healthcare they need to grow up healthy, happy, and with the freedom to be themselves. That’s why it’s so disgusting that #Queensland Health Minister #TimNicholls has banned gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now he’s running a sham ‘review’ to justify his cruel ban.

It’s not a scientific investigation. It’s a political stunt.

That's a Mandate of Heaven argument, which is entirely valid.

Although this guy has moved to Texas, right?, a state that even goes so far as to be the only one that either allows use of lethal force to protect property after a verbal warning, or requires a grand jury for all inducements (the latter something the Supreme Court for some reason hasn't enforced on the states WRT to the 14th Amendment).

But getting to hard cases, a government's first duty is self-preservation, which means collecting taxes is non-optional, it's necessarily one of its highest priorities after, say, defending its own functionaries.

Here the problem goes back to my first point, anarcho-tyranny (the name for what you identified) as a form of war on its own people. Who our ruling trash don't see as their own people. Compare to the Soviets with lots of Jews below philosemitic if not a quarter Jewish Lenin, then non-Slav Stalin.

For most people in these Blue US states, and the US altogether prior to a circulation of elites Trump 2.0 is still fishing in the Rubicon about, it's exactly as you said, occupation governments. Which use various pre-occupation institutions and norms like extradition to enforce their will against people who've fled them.

No pretense about legitimacy except to the people they consider their own and their own myth making, it's raw force on the rest, and would be infinitely worse if we weren't well armed. A cold civil war....

> But getting to hard cases, a government's first duty is self-preservation, which means collecting taxes is non-optional, it's necessarily one of its highest priorities after, say, defending its own functionaries.

Defending the safety and property of the tax payers is more urgent than collecting the taxes. It's more urgent because if you fail to collect the taxes, you can just do it tomorrow, but if you fail to protect the people and property, property and confidence is destroyed - forever, and there are no more taxes to collect.

Otherwise agreed on all points.

Oh wow, #hamradio to the rescue

Remember that hurricane data that is being cut off by the US government? Guess who figured out how to get the data anyway?

"Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates 'like dogs', according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities."
