The Pathology of Power: How Narcissistic Structures Corrupt Institutions and Undermine the Rule of Law

A comprehensive analysis of narcissistic power structures. The work bridges the gap between psychological theory (The Dark Triad), political staging (Elon Musk, Sebastian Kurz), and the systemic abuse of power in institutional care (Austrian Home History). It explores how the state acts as a complicit entity by prioritizing "systemic relevance" over the protection of vulnerable individuals.

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of narcissistic power structures. The work bridges the gap between psychological theory (The Dark Triad), political staging (Elon Musk, Sebastian Kurz), and the systemic abuse of power in institutional care (Austrian Home History). It explores how the state acts as a complicit entity by prioritizing "systemic relevance" over the protection of vulnerable individuals.
