Somehow I doubt that psychological self-protection measures are going to suffice.
The technique is a variation to emotion regulation - name the emotion then feel the emotion and let it pass through you. This allows you to process the grief in real time without it getting stuck. This absolutely works in a dysfunctional family because at the end you just go no contact with them and all is well… but this psychobabble doesn’t work when your government is the abuser because the only boundary you can set is to leave the country.
And that boundary isn’t a reality for most of us.
Anyone feeling backed in to a corner yet?
Leaving the US is one of the best decisions I've made in my life
I moved to the states in 2005, got married, had 2 daughters. Moved us all back to my home country in 2015. I often wondered if it was the right decision and what life would have been like if we'd stayed. I haven't wondered even once since November last year.
Unfortunately, being able to just leave the country is a luxury that few people have.
I'm disappointed it's not a guillotine.
There’s only one way generally that works to stop fascist leaders. It isn’t by doing what this guy suggests.
Lmao, the psychologist is telling us we can halt fascism by "setting boundaries", "having faith" and "saying no". Lmao. This article is like concentrated liberalism.

He keeps saying the Ukraine war would never have happened under him. He really believes that. Because he's a narcissist.
No. Because he's a narcissist, he thinks he can lie to anyone and get them to believe it.
There's little evidence that he actually believes in anything but his own superiority and enitlement.
He thinks he's superior, thus commands respect, thus Putin wouldn't have done it. He thinks Putin did it because Biden was inferior, etc.
excellent
Step 1. Convince his supporters that literally anything is wrong.
Solve that one first
Right. I'm sure Americans will totally get off their asses to fix things now.
Eventually sometimes we end up doing the right thing, like after trying a ton of other options we finally ended slavery by way of civil war. Or like in Armageddon when NASA couldn't get the astronauts to figure out a drilling rig we went and got Bruce Willis to get his ass to space and solve the problem via nuclear weapons.
Does the armchair assassin have any tips or just idle shit talk?
Use a scope, not iron sights. If that kid had had a scope he might have hit his target.
Come now, I'm doing just as much work as the Americans.
I filled in some bubbles on a piece of paper, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
