05/04/2005: "A New World Disorder"

This journal entry won’t require too much writing on my part. All I need to do is to type in this introduction, which makes the relationship between today’s focus of Dittohead behavior (international relations) and the mental disorders that best match it. It turns out that Intermittent Explosive Disorder and Paranoid Personality Disorder are perfect matches! Don’t just take my word for it; here are the symptoms, pasted straight from psychcentral
Intermittent Explosive Disorder:
- Several discrete episodes of failure to resist aggressive impulses that result in serious assaultive acts or destruction of property. The degree of aggressiveness expressed during the episodes is grossly out of proportion to any precipitating psychosocial stressors.
Paranoid Personality Disorder:
A pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent, present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by the following:
- suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her
- is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of friends or associates
- is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against him or her
- reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events
- persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights
- perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack
Does this sound like any right wing operatives that you know?
