DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - You’ve had your own unexpected fame and handled it much more gracefully. There’s no comparison. None. Parent Post: Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - Everyone should read this to understand just how we put the health of our nation into the hands of a deranged, toxic narcissist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. His meanderings on his own fame just beneath the death toll numbers his experiments likely created are perhaps the most nauseating thing I've seen lately. Here is the thing to realize though--the high ranks of our unelected federal bureaucracy are chock-a-block full of lesser and greater Faucis--people who hide behind the veneer of being a "public servant" while all the time actually thinking that YOU serve THEM. Why? Because they are smarter and better than those grubby little voters and they cling to their unelected bureaucratic power because they are ENTITLED TO IT (or so they believe). The cure is not to eliminate such people from government--that won't work because narcissists will always be drawn to the seat of power. No, the trick is to eliminate not the people, but the POSITIONS--eliminate the power that the vast, unelected federal Leviathan has over our daily lives, and the Faucis of the world will find other, less harmful, avenues to exercise their God complexes. It's the only way. Quoted Post: Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke - Fauci's diary entry for May 21, 2020 is one of the most grotesque documents you will ever read. It opens with the mounting Covid death toll and people dying across the country, then abruptly pivots into an extended exercise in self-congratulation about his newfound fame. How was someone so profoundly narcissistic ever allowed to accumulate so much power and rise so high? Completely unreal. https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2081509784235483137
