from Disaffected Hosted by disaffected
Episode 293, September 27, 2026 Psychological projection works in two directions. Tonight we look at what happens when people project their own positive, moral character onto psychopaths and evil-doers. Positive projection makes the wicked look like the good. Patrick Clancy’s sympathy for his murdering ex-wife is an example. Public praise for NIkole Hannah Jone’s self-regarding article about how she ruined her daughter’s education is another. Positive Projection is part of why we’re sinking deeper into a narcissistic society. Montpelier Vermont is a case study in the ghetto-ization of formerly safe and clean towns. You’ll never guess what happened this time at the grocery store, or how the ACLU helped it happen.
