Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.
“Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism,” the authors wrote.
As result of the new data, study authors Ann Krispenz and Alex Bertrams have coined a new term for such psychological behavior: the “dark-ego-vehicle principle.”
“According to this principle, individuals with dark personalities — such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits — are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality,” they told PsyPost.
“In particular, certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.”
The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach.
Social justice is often used as a guise for these activists to behave unhinged, the research noted.
“An individual high in LWA might declare anyone to be ‘old fashioned’ who is opposing their own ‘progressive values,’ strive to suppress free speech to regulate the expression of right-wing beliefs in educational institutions, and even endorse the use of violence to reach their own political goals,” the authors said.
Beyond using any means necessary, people of privileged backgrounds who are aligned with LWA often use their narcissism to make activism solely about themselves instead of achieving social equality for struggling groups.
“Minority groups should be made aware of the narcissistic ‘enemies’ from within their activist movement, as these individuals could hijack the cause thereby reducing the success of the activism in many ways,” the authors added.
“As grandiose narcissists typically desire fame, distinction, elevated social status and high social importance, they can be assumed to strive for influential positions that involve social visibility and outreach as well as access to financial and other resources.”
The authors also made it clear that authoritarianism exists on both sides of the political spectrum and that “there is a wide range of literature and research in the field of right-wing authoritarianism.
“However, research on authoritarianism observed in individuals who are supportive of left-wing political ideologies are still rare.”
This has been perfectly obvious for all of living memory- Leftism is a mental illness and hatred is its first means of expression.
Very few, if any, Activist Leftists are altruistic in their private lives and the less Activist ones who are – tge Teaching Profession is full of them – exercise a perpetual cognitive dissonancel to uphold theirworldview which is tendered extremely Easy for them by the MSM (and especially ‘The Nation’s Broadcaster ‘ the BBC in the UK )
The Leftists of the MSM are in many ways worse than the Amtifas types as they are the Gatekeepers, always ignoring Leftist violence whilst invoking ‘Right Wing’ extremism
It goes without saying that the MSM type live lives of hypocritical comfort in addition, whilst perfecting the concerned expression and the mouthing of ‘compassionate’ attitudes.

Dear Guy,
If you haven’t already seen this breaking story at the top of your news feed, then you NEED to hear it from me right now!
At Hunter College in New York, a crazed pro-abortion woman approached our “This is Chemical Abortion” display, ruined it, and started yelling profanity at our students – and it was a professor!
For the sake of our students, I’d like to say that’s all it was, but that isn’t even the beginning of her unhinged outrage…
In fact, it only took our video of her outrageous behavior going viral to make her go completely off the rails again – and this time wielding a machete!
You see, yesterday morning, when a New York Post reporter visited Professor Shellyne Rodriguez at her Bronx apartment (presumably to ask her to comment on her profanity and vandalism against our students) she barged out of her door with a machete, held it up to the reporter’s neck, and threatened to CHOP HIM UP with it!
Luckily (even after she chased him down the street), the reporter wasn’t seriously hurt, but, Guy, it could have easily been our students on the other end of that machete – all it takes is for one crazed pro-abortion radical to snap…
NYP? CIAda gob unit.
There’s actually scientific evidence which suggests right wingers/Tories have personality voids, places where literally nothing happens. Take Therese Coffey, she has some massive caverns in her head. She’s a tardis, and there are many others.
I’m not a supporter of any party. I’m pretty much center, but I do believe litter droppers, pet owners who don’t pick up, and e-biike/e-scooter riders who park badly, they should all be shot on the spot by trained teams. Yep, I’m just your regular moderate.
The article is saying the leaders of Antifa and BLM are narcissists and will not really help the “oppressed”, but that is a good thing, because “the Oppressed” are usually just the Inferior. The bad news is that the narcissists and their idiot army often burn the city down
Jesus had them dead to rights on this one too
Luke 11:43
What other proof of supernatural is needed, when a 33-year old, practically a kid, speaks with such force and profundity of truth and timeless wisdom every single time he opens his mouth, never misses a tiniest beat and can be quoted meaningfully in a contemporary context in practically every important life situation.
NB: “Woe to you” refers to the damning judgment awaiting them, Pharisees, hypocrites, scribes in afterlife. It is a strong warning which these verminous Jews chose to ignore.
l think this imbecile has missed the obvious..undoubtedly due to him being an ‘individualist’..his scrawl littered with references to the individual..(as well as fake psychiatry)..
Of course.. what you are dealing with is simple earthy tribalism… ‘state’ sanctioned ‘warbands’..
a deeply primeval and satisfying pastime.. harnessed by despots since time immemorial..
Of course you aren’t allowed to participate in the creation of ‘warbands’ if you aren’t a lefty academic or elitist or jewe with statist and financial protection…
you have to stay at home on the internet whining..until you fulfill your function as victim of them…
NB: the creation of opposing ‘warbands’ is what the ‘state’ (and it’s in a ‘right’ one) fears the most.. (not peaceful marches and rainbow brotherhood)..
and why just like a pack of wolves it picks off ‘individuals’… (using ‘warbands’….Antipanties..BurnLootMurder etc)..
For reference examine Wiemar Germany.. because to drown errant commies in the local canal and capture state infrastructure..one must have a ‘warband’ of ones own…
Of course this is! All throughout old covenant scripture, Jesus is called “the RIGHT arm (or hand) of salvation”. He is “seated at the RIGHT hand of the Father”. After His crucifixion, for 40 years (according to Josephus), EVERY YEAR, when the high priest cast the lot for Azazel, the lot came up into the LEFT hand, which was considered a bad omen. This is not a political disparaging, this is prophecy, as in the book of Judges, it mentions salvation for Israel at that time was to come from a “LEFT-handed man”. How this all fits together, I do not know. Jesus LIVES!!!!!
as a leftwinger, antifa, liberal your mind is jewish
decomposed, therefore you are not white aryan but
a traitor to your race . just a renegade .
there are only this chosen people : WHITE ARYANS !
This should read:
White Libtards, negroes and Jews are psychopathic, unhinged, narcissistic evil bastards whose just desserts are death. They are a fetid, gangrenous blight on a peaceful civilized society.
They’re not called the Leftist neurotic-psychotic collective for no reason.
When these nut jobs usefulness in destabilizing the west becomes obsolete they will be terminated and put back in their place. This is guaranteed.
Leftist ideology isn’t reality it doesn’t learn from life experiences which means it’s a dead end street from the start line. Running into this dead end street is suicidal which explains their behaviour as a result of a crazed antilife demented mind. They aren’t revolutionary in the least they are reactionarys reacting to the lies they are fed. They aren’t progressive because destabilizing a society is regressive.
How one cannot recognise they’re being used is infantile. They’ve never wanted to grow and life has its own rewards for no growth.
Some of these comments, you know.
As most of you know, I don’t give a toss about the thicko sheeple. They deserve everything they get. Not with standing those who can’t help themselves.
The truth is that all who claim the left exists, are deluded.
Take the recent raft of utterly wank policies set out by Sir Kier Nazi Starmer. There isn’t a single left leaning, or vaguely socialist idea among them.
I am not going to list all the Nazi agendas labeled as lefty woke shit, and repeatedly hung out on the washing line of prejudiced gimp masks by some on here.
The left, if they really existed, because as many have said, the UK has never had a true socialist regime, never. But if they did, we would see real ideas about improving the thicko sheeple’s lot, but there’s sweet feck all.
For years, all we’ve heard on here from contributors and comments, is that Biden is a communist, or socialist, or left wing. But I was never fooled. Biden is an ultra hard right Nazi nutjob, and there are some who rightly say his presidency has been the most disastrous in US history.
The US economy is collapsing, the UK just borrowed £22 billion to cover one month’s shortfall. The UKs 2022 trade deficit was £94 billion. Did you hear Nazi socialist Starmer say he’d end the deficit, no.
Yesterday the Duran had a guest on, and he explained the real reason for Brexit. He was right. Sure, there were other reasons, but the main one was to avoid City regulation, and the EUs desire to end to off-shore banking. The the two muppets on the Duran, and their mostly ultra right-wing audience must have listened in excruciating agony, because the muppet presenters are mega Brexiters. I couldn’t listen anymore, so I’ve no idea how the presenters delt with the reality laid out. I’m sure they just brushed it off, as right-wingers do.
We see and read about the so called eco-zellots, just stop oil morons who make sheeple’s lives more of a misery than it already is, as the Nazi police state bends over backwards to protect these Nazi state agitators. You never see these tw@ts outside Tory HQ, or the banks, the same exact strategy used by Occupy, do you remember them? lol I said at the time that ringleaders were working for the Nazi state. Again, camped outside St Paul’s, but not outside Tory HQ, and I do believe some in the Occupy movement became suspicious of the ringleaders.
We keep seeing this never ending Nazi production line turning out campaign’s which the Nazi fake news uses to create this myth that there are left wing nutters, when in fact, they are just paid up Nazis.
There’s no real left, but there is a real ultra hard right wing. They’ve done a grand job. For decades, the thicko sheeple have been brainwashed. Most sheeple have no idea what real left of center ideas sought to achieve. I read something about young sheeple paying half their income on rent. But don’t worry, they are happy with their drugs, gin and Netfecks.
A website, so say dedicated to truth, but is awash with hard right contributors and commentors who wouldn’t know the center ground if an arrow landed in their solar plexus.
Psychopathy is neurological dysfunction; a congenital or trauma-induced failure of the brain’s frontal or parietal lobes.
It can express as self-hatred or self-worship, as passive or aggressive characteristics.
Some psychopaths are pathetic and pitiable, drooling tormentedly in dark corners. Others are unpredictably hostile and capable of cold violences.
Narcissism is a neurosis. Essentially, a limitation of emotional understanding, predicated upon poor example, during childhood.
If grown-ups habitually shout at each other and even resort to fisticuffs in disputes, what example of reconciliation exists, to guide the young heart?
The ensconced left-wing activists permit no counter-argument and choose to scream petulantly, rather than engage in debate because a frustration of parental repression informs their demeanour.
Alienated from family, they seek out communities of their own, surrogate families, among whom such resentments as theirs, run similarly deep.
The grievous irony is, that it’s easier to leave your parents behind, than it is to slough off the error of your own ways; to confront your own fallibilities, when you hear the calling and to dare to definitively move on from worldly immaturities, nurtured by leftist affiliates.
Giving up that which you once held so vociferously to be true, requires a surrender to humility, which itself depends on the tractability of conscience over ego.
This is how political dialectics succumb to the greater dynamic of God versus Mammon.
“Safe spaces” were created to impede emotional maturation, by insulating leftists from wider thought-processes and unheard of philosophies, which might offer wholesome resolutions to the residual resentments that quickened during unhappy childhoods.
chesterton gave a better analysis–sometimes I stay at the shallow level of the article
Carl Jones–I do not think we have had real Nazis, and you have your own definition of the word. Real ones would build a nation to stand up against the Jewish World Government and stop the mongrelising of Whites and the Supremacy of Israel. Hitler looked like it but wasn’t, in my interpretation
