[@naninolovyou6388]

When you say it like that….hmm 🤨🤔. My father and my ex husband were like this. They were ALWAYS the victim. I remember once just shaking my head and whispering to myself “what can I do differently”. It had NOTHING to do with me. He was, and still is, an addict who makes poor decision and poor decision. My son, who is in college, said to his father “Dad, you need to get your life together. I mean, you keep making the same bad choices”. I was so proud of him, though it was sad to see the child, be the adult. I, only, write this bc I am hoping that any woman (or man) who keeps looking inward and blaming yourself, can take a step back and think “No, it is not me”. Trust your instincts. Narcissists are very good at playing the victim, over and over. Then manipulate the significant other to believe that the fault resides with them. ❤❤

[@mathiasstrom7790]

He is a true narcissist. They are pathethic people and can never be in the wrong. Playing the victim is their go to when they are exposed, otherwise they live in grandiosity and anger. Its a shit way to live life but they can't take responsibility of their own actions so they never change

[@BatkoBrat]

The Karpman drama triangle is a social model of human interaction and it maps a type of destructive interaction that can occur among people in conflict. The triangle of actors in the drama are persecutors, victims, and rescuers. In Raoul's case, he is always the prosecutor until someone starts to question his controlling, blaming, critical, oppressive, angry, authoritarian, rigid and superior behaviors, at which point he quickly assumes the role of a victim which in this model is not intended to represent an actual victim, but rather someone feeling or acting like one.

That's actually a very simplistic viewpoint. There are different factors to consider, personality being one of them.

[@s.keeton3795]

I've not been watching for longer than the first minute, but saw your comment & had to say yes that is a huge issue with not only the KZbin videos but also the mainstream media that sometimes will lose focus of the reason for the reports, & that is the victim. Sometimes it seems like the mainstream media news & coverage shows like dateline or more so the entire network like cnn & fox, both who get into the nitty gritty details of the perpetrators like they're trying to give excuses for the crimes rather than just reporting on the history of & the reasons for why they did what they did, giving excuses for the reactions and what made up the decisions they made rather than just giving facts of, and its almost like they are trying to get the public/viewer to feel sorry for them but forgetting about the actual victims and how they are either no longer here because of a stupid person who has stupid reasons for doing what they did, while sometimes they even victim blame like they were in the position, in the wrong place at the wrong time because of their own bad choices, which can sometimes be true but the majority of victims are victims because of the decisions & choices made by an angry person & had that one person not decided to kill or attack/attempt to take something that is not theirs, & that is the only reason why any victims have lost their lives or families have been torn apart. No matter what bad choices or good choices you & I make, if a madman is hunting for a victim, then you & I can have our lives taken only because we were at this movie theater at this time, or were at this street crossing at the same time as the people who have decided to use their vehicles as a weapon! Focusing on the bad guys is a major concern for me so I only watch the channels that focus on the victims & sharing their stories rather than just focusing on the blood, gore, salacious details & sordid secrets the victims should not have to have drudged up because it makes the story spicier!!

Raoul's first comments in the video are illuminating. He was aware of his volatility and, with some work, his fervent desire was to understand himself. He was intent to keep his family. In my country (Canada,) psych work isn't covered by some insurance companies, or at least, not without a doctor's referral. It's pricey to go it alone. I think society is coming to learn that needing psych work is every bit as important as a fever or a broken bone. It should get equal medical attention.

He does sound like he had some type of persecutory delusions. I think criminals who land in jail for violent crimes should all be psychologically evaluated for the general safety of the public.

But also, narcissists are chronically under diagnosed and believed ty be approx 2% of the population, which doesn't seem like many until you think about how many people you know, how many people are in your city etc and work out how many diagnoseable narcs that is. THEN add the number of people with narcissistic traits that isn't to the degree of diagnosis. They're largely only known by their victims unfortunately because it takes losing everything to realise there's something wrong with them at all.

[@lwolfstar7618]

@@cuteandfunnymusic also, the reason they are talking any this more in recent years is because of the evidence of just how many there are. Medical and psychological knowledge from 50 years ago is vastly outdated. That's why they renew the dsm every few years, to keep up with modern findings.

3 CONCURRENT life sentences = 40 years before possibility of parole. 2 CONCURRENT life sentences = 20 years before possibility of parole. It looks like the criminal agenda has taken over the UK very long before it started taking over the US. Quite a sad thing. Just imagine if those were your family members who got murdered.. and the court decided your family members entire life was only worth 20 years of an evil persons life.

[@jonslg240]

This guy(coffehouse) literally just blamed the victim when talking about the cop who got ambushed and shot in the face. So it's his fault "he waited 12 months" to getcounseling? Everything else is his fault too? So do you believe wholeheartedly that someone who got shot in the head is at fault for not thinking right thereafter? Actually, that isn't a question, because you obviously do believe it.

[@HanFace89]

Oh my goodness his total lack of accountability is enraging me. How can he not accept any responsibility for his actions, he isn’t sorry for anything or anyone but himself?! “I am not a coward”… I beg to differ, anyone who uses a gun against a defenceless person is THE definition of a coward, should’ve taken Chris on man to man, shown how “hard” he was to the karate instructor. Police don’t go after people for no reason, at least not here in the UK. I wish he didn’t off himself, I wish he was rotting, powerless in prison.

He's very narcissistic, they lack the capacity to take accountability for themselves. Its interesting - i understand why people respond emotionally to such a display as you have done, but ive personally come to the conclusion that that is not dissimilar to taking umbrage at the violence of a storm as if it had agency. People like Raoul are just forces of nature, following their emotions blindly. Better he is simply no longer here i'd say.

I can be an eye roll but that doesn't make it a real thing that he was feeling. And that what makes it scarier. We need to take it serious when people exhibit these kind of behaviors.

[@ItsRainingHippos]

Doesn't that just prove why he should of had a psych? Dangerous people will often have enough awareness to acknowledge and even ask for help, but people will roll their eyes and ignore it. (Yourself included, apparently.) And then get upset when that dangerous person does something dangerous??
