Tonight we're going to concentrate on what's gone down on American college campuses for the past two weeks. The encampments and the riots, purportedly in support of Gaza. These protests have nothing to do with Gaza, really, or about any genuine care for that issue. 

The events on college campuses this week demonstrate the thesis of this show, that abusive Cluster B dynamics usually seen in the home have been scaled up to societal level. When you watch these campus clashes, you're watching Cluster B abuse. When you watch the administration back down, you're watching the abused spouse and children try to bargain for their safety. But you're also watching some abused people who had a hand in creating the situation that now endangers them. We don't like to talk about that when we talk about domestic abuse, but it's true.

Four years ago, I woke from a spell that I had been under since childhood.  After decades of torment, I recognized my mother for what she truly was: a personality-disordered abuser.  She wasn't the victim she had always claimed to be.  Then I saw the same behavior and abuse tactics being adopted and applauded by the social justice left.
