I think the worst part comes now with the decline of neoliberal capitalism. Chile was left with no “bullet in the needle” to propose countercyclical measures that favor the growth of its economy, which, in my opinion, will cause stagnation for several years, transforming the economic miracle into a true economic nightmare.
What the President of Argentina is doing today, Chile accomplished the same in 1973.

Apr 11th, 2024 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Sounds terrible! Much suffering!
“at the cost of the blood of retirees”!
The blood of retirees was shed?
Are retirees now worse off in Chile than in Argentina or Brazil?
Which country is taking the best care of their retirees?
Which country has such a huge amount of resources that all of its citizens should be living comfortably?
“at the expense of the privatization of public services and state-owned companies”!
Why is that bad?
“the decline of neoliberal captalism”!
Are you sure it is declining?
Socialism was destroying Argentina. Why is socialism good?
“A bullet in the needle to propose countercyclical measures that favor the growth of its economy”!
Incoherent.
Can you give some examples of other countries that did have “bullets in the needle” and used them?
This lack of a “bullet in the needle” in Chile will, in your opinion, one day cause stagnation there for several years, turning Chile's capitalist economic miracle into a,
“true economic nightmare”!
Is your opinion backed by any economic education? What courses in economics have you taken?
Perhaps Chile will one day experience a “true economic nightmare”.
Maybe, maybe not.
Argentina &Venezuela seem to be having right now, and not one day, “true economic nightmares”.
Are these neoliberal capitalist countries?
Are those people living under those economics suffering?
Or is it that the suffering of people due to socialist economics is a non-issue, should not be discussed, and can be ignored, because that country favors your socialist politics?
Do you care about people suffering?
Should we be more concerned about what “one day” might happen in a neoliberal capitalist country, “in your opinion”, or,
should we be more concerned about people suffering today?
Should we only focus people that suffer due to neoliberal capitalist economic policies?
Because you have valid economic opinions, what do you think needs to be done in Argentina to solve that people's “right now” suffering?

“Paranoid Personality
At the other end of the spectrum, furthest removed from health, is the paranoid personality showing clear-cut megalomania. Paranoid personalities believe that people are not only looking at them but also talking about them, even conspiring against them, because they are very special and very important. They may believe they have extraordinary powers. When they become unable to distinguish fantasy from fact, their insanity is clear. In that case, we are dealing with full-fledged paranoia-a psychotic rather than a neurotic condition-and the treatment differs. Nevertheless, even in such extreme cases, we find most of the characteristics of narcissism: extreme grandiosity, a marked discrepancy between the ego image and the actual self, arrogance, insensitivity to others, denial, and projection.”

Narcissism was linked to fascism by the father of bioenergetic therapy, Alexander Lowen, in his outstanding book, ”Narcissism — Denial of the True Self”
“When the Narcissist Fails
When things begin to sour for the narcissist here is what we can expect: They will try to first misdirect us or claim there is nothing to the allegations or circumstances. If evidence is presented, they will seek to have it invalidated or claim that it is false, but most certainly not true.
Any evidence presented, and those that present it will be attacked vindictively. The better the evidence the more aggressive the attack. Individuals who are doing the right thing unethical behavior, or failings are to be discredited, and bullied. The narcissist will engage enablers to simultaneously attack those who offer proof or evidence, even if it embarrassingly exposes their behavior as that of spineless sycophants.
Expect lies to increase, with evidence to the contrary. Lies are always the number one tool of the MN. The lies must increase to the point of incredulity. The narcissist will expect, the enablers to lie for them.
Some will hound, stalk, those they deem responsible.
That is when we have to worry the most. One of note, was to— to make Germany great again.

Apr 12th, 2024 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”What is Psychological Projection (In Layman’s Terms)?
What happens when you have a whole bunch of uncomfortable, embarrassing and annoying emotions that you don’t want to unconsciously deal with? According to famous psychologist Sigmund Freud these emotions are projected on to other people, so that other people become carriers of our own perceived flaws. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us, this form of emotional displacement makes it much easier to live with ourselves … because everyone else is responsible for our misery – not us!
As a result of externalizing our emotions and perceiving them in others, we continue suffering terribly, often creating false self-images that portray us as “the victim” or “the good/righteous person” when the reality is that we aren’t.“
https ://lonerwolf.com/psychological-projection/
”Narcissists are renowned for using psychological projection to blame other people, even when it is entirely apparent that they are the ones in the wrong. With regards to the narcissist, they too can have deep and repressed feelings, this is because their view of the world is so cut off from real life. It is not that a typical narcissist fails to know the difference between right and wrong. They do, it’s that when they themselves fail, they feel such an incredible sense of shame that they cannot deal with it.
Their delicate ego has to be protected at all costs and so the blame for the failure has to be directed elsewhere.
A narcissist is basically an empty husk of a human being who manufactures an attractive exterior in which to fool the people around him or her. Narcissists do not know how to feel love, pain, empathy or guilt, and seemingly surround themselves with people who have the exact qualities they lack.”

What is Malignant Narcissism?
Erich Fromm was a psychiatrist in the United States who immigrated from Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s. He was a world leader in many aspects of mental health and diagnosis. In his 1964 book, The Heart of Man: Its Genius for Good and Evil, Fromm used this term for the first time when he identified the pathology of narcissism as having two types: “benign narcissism” and “malignant narcissism.”
“On the other hand, there is a malignant narcissism. This is not about achievement, but rather something the person thinks they inherently have that’s special: “for instance, his body, his looks, his health, his wealth, etc…. Malignant narcissism, thus, is not self-limiting.” Fromm gives examples of many historical figures who had this type:
“The Egyptian Pharaohs, the Roman Caesars, the Borgias, Hitler, Stalin, Trujillo — they all show certain similar features.
The essence — and biggest danger — of malignant narcissism is that it keeps growing. Fromm wrote: “It is a madness that tends to grow in the lifetime of the afflicted person. The more he tries to be a god, the more he isolates himself from the human race; this isolation makes him more frightened, everybody becomes his enemy, and in order to stand the resulting fright he has to increase his power, his ruthlessness, and his narcissism.”
