Two problems: “I am, like many liberals, horrified by Obama’s embrace of a secretive drone policy, and particularly the killing of American citizens without any restraints.” Which tacitly means that non-American lives have less value than American ones. And “When Osama bin Ladin was killed, I cheered like everyone else.” The killing was in violation of international law. He should simply have been apprehended and tried in a court of law, particularly in the light of the fact that he did not put up any resistance and was unarmed at the time of the assassination.

It behooves us to question the psychology behind stigma when it comes to mental disability. The truth is that mental “illness” is still shamelessly albeit implicitly associated with “evil” powers, as Thomas Szasz has observed. It’s precisely because insanity is thought to be due to possession by evil spirits that it is treated by subjecting the insane to cruelties which it is hoped the demons will dislike, as Bertrand Russell observed in The Impact of Science on Society. But as Plato wrote in Phaedrus, “…the greatest blessings come by way of madness, indeed of madness that is heavensent.”

There are some common chapters in the following 2 e-books

Sam Vaknin, Malignant Self Love,

http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/narcissistleader.pdf

Sam Vaknin, Abuse, Torture, And Trauma and Their Consequences and Effects,

http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/traumatortureabuse.pdf

There are some problems in the latter work particularly, most notably, on p. 99 he advocates the use of psychotropic medications for things like anxiety and depression. But that can never be justified for any type of psychological problem. And on p. 93 he says: “Victims are not a uniform lot. In some cultures, abuse is commonplace and accepted as a legitimate mode of communication, a sign of love and caring, and a boost to the abuser’s self image. In such circumstances, the victim is likely to adopt the norms of society and avoid serious trauma.” In my view, this is nonsense. Just because trauma is concealed doesn’t mean that it’s not there. Besides, the author is implicitly conceding that there’s no autonomy involved in the adoption of society’s norms under such a condition, hence there’s coercion and therefore great harm, from a humanistic standpoint.
