Where it comes from: The most surefire way to make a child a narcissist is to shelter them from failure. By not allowing the kid to fail on his own he will never experience his own limits and thereby come to believe that he doesn't have any. When he eventually does fail at something its someone else's fault and in no way a product of his own character. This then sets the precedent that his actions aren't related to his character and as he reaches his teens his narcissism kicks into overdrive. Couple this with individualism, materialism and a massive marketing industry and you have the perfect storm.
Understand that narcissism is essentially personal branding and many modern phenomena is easily explained. Remember that marketing today doesnt sell products but personalities, "buy this ipod and you too can rebel against the machine". The US is currently run by formerly pot smoking hippies but its nothing like the society they envisioned at woodstock: "I may run a multinational corporation built on foreign slave labour but thats not who I really am". Raise a child to understand that he is defined by his actions and he will grow out of his teenage phase.
Unfortuntely it is very difficult to cure a narcissist as you would need to reattach his ego to his actions, but as mentioned earlier there is no graver insult to a narcissist than to define him by what he does. It takes time for such a reconditioning and each time you do this the subject will be insulted and experience massive cognitive dissonance (and possibly an amygdala overload).
Any free person will dissacotiate from you if you try this and retreat to lick the wounds of his ego.

Why it matters: Narcissism is unfortunately rampant in our society as a result of historical forces. As such any movement that seeks to gain ideological ground will need to account for narcissism. If we can find a way to make narcissts project to the right our movement will gain ground quickly. Ideas: 1. Marketing earns billions from exploiting narcissism. We can surely learn something from the industry. 2. Pop the illusion of lefties by pointing out how they arent living up to their ideals. This might backfire though as they may end up actually become more active in the enemies favour as they seek to restore their ego. 3. Do the same with cuckservatives and other rightwingers to our left. As above this might backfire for the same reason. 4. Make it clear that jews are not white. This both undermines their efforts to subvert the western world and hits them right in the feels. If we can make them identify as POC's like with (((echoes))) we will have dealt a major blow. 5. If we ever win we will need to deal with narcissism. It must be cured on a societal scale if we are to have any hope of a lasting victory. I strongly believe that this phenomenon is too wide-scale for ovens, and in any case these people are victims to the circumstances of their lives. They may not see it this way but they are our brothers and we ought to cure them if we can.
Lets discuss how to exploit narcissism to our benefit, I need your help here Holla Forumsacks

Shit, I didn't even catch that time for a dubs thread

Pic related is also worthwhile.
Thanks for making your posts, OP. I personally believe we should be using this newfound breathing room from Trump winning to attempt a return to first exodus levels of discussion. Sure, it wouldn't happen completely, but as you just demonstrated it's not impossible to get the ball rolling. If I was more awake I'd probably have something else to say.

Bumping despite the fuckups. I just want to push right until we can throw them all into deprogramming camps and then try to salvage the 10% of them that don't kill themselves for being such fucking idiots.

Western civilization is built on exploitation and narcissism. Western civilization is actually a misnomer. It should be called eastern, occidental, or meso-Egyptian civilization.

Don't count on that happening all the other backup chans are trying their hardest to be faggots and shill "the end" and "Holla Forums is dead" here.
