They are the drama around which Trump plays his role as the unjustly accused victim, whose rights are trampled and who is the martyr for his oppressed 'deplorables'. He is taking the slings and arrows for them. The narcissist is the self-sacrificing saint. The criminal is the angel."

The house in Maphou was home to BSF sub-inspector Paotinsat Guite, killed fighting the Pakistan army on the LoC in J&K on December 1, 2020. He was given a Kirti Chakra in 2022 for his bravery in foiling Pakistan's attempt to push in terrorists. Maphou is the last one remaining in the block. All others were razed.

Although he consistently failed to deliver on his promises to reverse #economic #stagnation and political decline he was able to retain the #loyalty of a large segment of population & dominate Italian politics for 2 decades aka #trump

If you grew up in a religious home where service to others was demanded and relaxation was considered selfish, you may relate to this meme a little too well. #ReligiousTrauma #codependency #martyr #PassiveAggressive

But he didn’t sound heroic last week. He sounded frightened and whiny." #martyr

584 followers · 4530 posts · Server mastodon.worldEtymology of “martyr”: This Greek word is sometimes said to be related to mermera "care, trouble," from mermairein "be anxious or thoughtful," from PIE *(s)mrtu- (source also of Sanskrit smarati "remember," Latin memor "mindful").
A millennia of pagan Roman culture had to contend with folks being mindful, and going out of their way to care and testify their belief system.
I don’t make the history, the rules, or the words.

The Joseph Smith “Like a Lamb to the Slaughter” Narrative is Myth
When the mob storms the stairs, he and his company barricade the door to keep the mob out. Joseph takes his revolver and shoots through the crack in the door repeatedly, using up all the ammunition. He ends up hitting three of the mob, killing two.
