The Perverted Drama Triangle/Pyramid Structure:
1. The Aggressor: At the top of the pyramid of power
2. The Victim:
Sanest member of the group,
defined as "too" aware, "too" sensitive,
and "too" close to seeing the truth
about the Aggressor's hidden agenda.
3. The Manipulated Group:
Covertly led by the Aggressor to believe
the relationship between him and the Victim
is the opposite of itself.
The Aggressor convinces the group
that his Victim is the Aggressor and/or crazy.
(Panther asks,Zimself,
How many times have
I been accused of THAT? on DU even???)
The Group acts out against the Victim
based upon the false premise supplied
to them by the Aggressor.
The Aggressor's premise of reasoning
is based upon obtaining, and retaining,
power over the Victim and the Group.
The Group is structured as a pyramid scheme.
The Victim/scapegoat is chosen because
that is the one who most threatens the
Aggressor's power and the structure itself.
Whomever threatens the Aggressor becomes
the target of his Bait and Switch,
used to invalidate the individual as a
defense of his position. When, or more often
IF, the Group realizes it has attacked an
innocent person, they make an agreement
together to cover up the whole incident to
avoid accountability.

That article referenced above,
is framed in psychiatry but this same
concept can apply to politics,business ,
even civilization itself
or any other relationship where there is
a power imbalance(inequality).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When an individual's, or institution's,
goal is Domination of others,
and to be "right," no matter how much
evidence there is that he, (or it) is wrong,
everything said, or done, by the other
in relation to that, is invalidated by
the "right" one, to protect that self-delusion.
When power and "other" control are the goal,
reason gets left behind.
Reason cannot communicate directly with power,
because power doesn't listen to reason.

And neither does the right wing or another
domineering power seeker listen to reason,
for it wants power over everything
even as it denies this is it's goal.
That is why the right wing does not hear us.
That is why on the right they champion morals
but have none themselves.
The old patriarchal do as I say
not as I do.A hypocritical control game.
Bullies will do or say ANYTHING
to avoid accountability,
taking responsibility and
sharing power with others.
