Narcissism is a spectrum, but at the far end of that spectrum, the narcissist is unable to feel anything except existential dread at the fact that they cannot feel anything, which is relieved by seeing reactions from other people, which is called “supply”. Trump is is at absolutely pathological levels of narcissism, and thus clearly cannot feel shame. The most we can make him feel is a supply withdrawal.
It’s not just the very ending, unless you mean the entire 2nd half… it just felt like there were two entirely different movies made, and they took the first half of one and haphazardly grafted it on to the second half of the other. The tonal whiplash alone was crazy.
I feel like that sort of movie mismatched has happened a lot over the years. I figure that producer meddling or overfitting to test-screening reactions is typically the cause.
Some ideologies are, in fact, mutually exclusive and cannot tolerate the others. Fascism cannot be tolerated, for instance. Nor can a belief in chattel slavery as a universal good. Sometimes an opposing ideology is just too fucking evil to be allowed to persist.
Setting the line that must not be crossed is a hard no problem though. And misplacing that line an inch incorrect in either direction can be horrible too.
I have suspicions this may be a golf course bathroom?
I have the number “x277853” burned into my memory… but I can’t 100% remember what it was for. I want to say it was my ICQ, but no one else seems to have an x at the beginning of theirs? Where was this x number from?
