Narcissists Are Destroying Society – Joshua Slocum (#17)

“To a close approximation, I would, quote, diagnose the West as having a thoroughgoing case of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.” What if the same psychological abuse tactics you escaped from your childhood home are now running our political culture? Josh Slocum saw it first in his borderline mother's rages, then in his leftist activist circles, and now everywhere: the emotional manipulation, reality distortion, and performative victimhood of Cluster B personality disorders have infected the body politic. A former funeral industry reformer turned cultural critic, Slocum brings 20 years of nonprofit leadership and personal trauma recovery to decode our narcissistic age. His message is blunt: we're being governed by the psychological rules of the personality disordered, and the only cure is learning to say "no." About Josh Slocum Josh Slocum is a cultural commentator and host of the Disaffected podcast, a weekly show examining politics through the lens of psychology. After serving as Executive Director of the Funeral Consumers Alliance from 2002-2016, where he fought industry corruption and appeared on major media outlets, Slocum pivoted to analyzing broader cultural dysfunction. His journey from "hard leftist" to conservative began with recognizing his mother's borderline and narcissistic personality disorders—then seeing identical patterns in progressive activism. Now partnered with TV industry veteran Kevin Hurley, he produces content that helps others recognize and resist Cluster B manipulation tactics in both personal relationships and political movements. 📖 Full show notes: https://stellaomalley.substack.com/p/... 📌 Chapters 00:00 – Trailer 01:00 – Josh’s story: growing up with a narcissistic mother 04:52 – When therapy language becomes manipulation 09:47 – Estrangement, boundaries, and emotional blackmail 13:22 – Identity, trauma, and disordered personalities 19:03 – Narcissism and social contagion 24:00 – Gender identity and psychological dysfunction 27:45 – “Born in the wrong body” as a symptom, not a cause 33:00 – Institutional capture and who really benefits 36:11 – When empathy becomes abuse 40:29 – Can you reason with a narcissist? 44:50 – What recovery looks like 🛑 Disclaimer: This episode is for informational and educational purposes only.
