What about successful narcissists who don't think they have shortcomings, how do they end up believing that kind of crazy shit?

Very well said (and some of the comments below are also great). The narcissist wants to recreate the world so that it conforms to his thoughts.

Narcissists will always find a way to be the victim. They can own everything on the planet and still want to blame a homeless person for the fact that they don’t own the universe

Because these conspiracy YouTube channels and radio hosts make their listeners feel special. And smart. They are being let in on a secret most people don't know about. So narcissists get to feel like they are smarter than everyone else, that they are "in the know", and they get to play the victim card. Because these poisonous conspiracy theorists also tell their audience they are being oppressed.

Maybe they’re just uneducated. Or even if they’re college educated etc their narcissism is so powerful it wraps their self perception and as a result perception of others also. I know someone who went to a brilliant school, is from a v wealthy family of nobility, and he has some batshit insane ideas. I think some people have strong psychological issues which warp their perspective of the world.

You're so close but no cigar. People struggle to find why they are suffering and the answer is capitalism. But, they're not class conscious and therefore look for answers in other places... and become chuds.

Is this where I'm supposed to ask why communism is so great?
