TRUE STORY
A Clutch of ‘Muslim’ Narcissists, Mobbing Remorselessly
The hive-like group-think of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions as individuals
I was watching a series of funny little videos on You Tube the other day.
They all featured a toddler who had broken a rule — like scoffed a cookie they weren’t supposed to. When the adult in the room turns to them and asks, ‘did you you eat that cookie/hit your baby sister/spill that drink?’ they play innocent and flatly refuse to acknowledge their actions — even if cookie crumbs are all over their lips, or the adult actually saw them smack their younger sister.
What is cute and funny in a toddler becomes the source of immense pain and even intergenerational trauma if such toddlers grow into adults who are habituated into trying to dodge accountability. Such adults, like toddlers, flatly deny their actions — their role in a mishap — and instead, engage in all manner of psychological manoeuvres to silence, discredit and even ostracise the person who is witness to their wrongdoing.
This, in a nutshell, is the dynamic I’ve been subjected to, from all five of my siblings — and also, our parents.
