Collectivism is only psychological mind-control made absolute through the exploration of the most universal and basic human need: contentment. And what makes collectivism so truly notorious, and the reason why it is absolutely essential to keep people from feeling completely content within themselves, is that collectivism attempts, and accomplishes, through the means of manipulism to destroy individuality by completely replacing the individual’s self-identity with a subconscious collective identity. Since the collectivist is seemingly kept from expressing self-confidence—which is obvious in the often deeply haughty right-wing narcissist—any self-confidence is therefore disguised in collectivism through a false sense of humbleness. Believing themselves to be humble, collectivists alter reality by not expressing self-encouragement. The twist, though, is that the collectivist turns to chauvinism. In addition to the female narcissist, who turns to extreme feminism, the collectivist turns the narcissistic trends into encouraging excessive collective and national admiration. Identified in virtually all collectivists, even though each trend is felt collectively, the feelings are the same: emotions of collective and national superiority. As a result, no matter how hypocritical it may sound, collective mentality purposely allows the collectivist, who is otherwise seemingly not allowed to feel superiority, to feel grandiose by demeaning or criticizing other nationalities, lifestyles, traditions, or ways of thinking. Collectivists are inclined to reject that any other nation could be even slightly better or at least on equal footing. This allows the individual to distort reality and create a falsified self-esteem via excessive national affirmation. Thus is collective admiration, or “narcissistic supply,” achieved through feeling superiority over other nationalities. By replacing their low self-esteem with strong collective and nationalistic feelings—a collective ego, “a madness shared by many,” also referred to in psychiatry as “shared psychotic disorder”—collectivists have once again empowered the unity and assimilation of the collective human organism.
