Everyone has enemies, except for you apparently.

Everyone has competition in life, except for you apparently.

Everyone experiences conflict in some form or another, except for you apparently.

Perhaps your appearance isn't what you make it out to be.

Also, you altered my statements to create yours. Thats the very tactic I've been explaining.

Nice try though.

.. scarcity of objects creates a competitive environment. And since we imitate each other, we have this herd mentality of imitating each other in our desires. This inevitably, ineluctibly gives rise to competition which easily deteriorates and devolves into violence.

Society develops the scapegoat mechanism to redirect violence in ways that are less harmful to itself which in turn inspires the invention of religion to justify sacrifice is how the encyclopedia Britannica describes the situation.

Everyone gets to laugh at the sacrifice, except the sacrifice.

Comedy and tragedy are 2 sides of the same coin, and what determines if we laugh or cry, is our own personal proximity and role in the situation.

It's funny when Dick Van Dyke trips over the foot stool.

It hurts like hell when you do it.

The Jewish community was doing just as well as anyone else in the 20's. By the 30's, propaganda had convinced everyone they were the enemy. These people experienced "normal life" right up until someone decided to make them the enemy, via psychological warfare. They woke up one day with a train ticket to Auschwitz, for "work."

Many of them no doubt, were suspicious, but they were told they were 'crazy' and that 'the government wouldn't do that, the government is here to protect us.' The problem is, that government isn't a thing. Government is a group of people, and groups of people behave irrationally and violently all the time, while laughing and carrying on about how right they were to violently destroy their fellow man.

Go to a European soccer game. Just watch how the 2 sides act towards each other. The fans will attack each other, over their emotional investment in corporations that sell t-shirts.

Try convincing a religious person that God isn't real. They'll kill you to prove you wrong. The lack of evidence either way isn't a factor in their reasoning. The only thing that matters is their personal emotional investment in the idea.

As for me seeing a "medical professional" I'm going to have to schedule a consultation for myself and my girlfriend, because she's witnessed the "acting" as well, and the same bartender used these tactics to attack her brother, right after their father died. The bartender tried the same thing when my mother died. The day after she passed, I walked into the bar, and he started up a conversation saying "Noone gives a shit about some old lady dying." He wanted me to lose my shit and get angry, like my gf's brother did. I gave him no response, because I knew he was manipulating me.

When anyone can watch a youtube video on how to manipulate people, do you really think that noone is using the information to manipulate others ?

Wouldn't a "lifelong bartender" be interested in controlling and manipulating people ? Wouldn't he be an expert at it after 20 years of working in a bar ?

I'm a computer programmer. He knows this. He knows I've spent more hours interacting with computers than people, and he thought I would be an easy target. When you know the characters involved, the behavior patterns emerge.

If said bartender was a malignant narcissist, wouldnt the environment of a bar provide him with endless narcissistic supply ? He's a god in the bar. He can make anyones evening great, or he can text his friend to start a fight and get someone arrested. This is what narcissistic supply is.

We really need to stop thinking that predators don't walk amongst us, when all of history tells us it has always been the case.
