How mass media and politics push the individual toward the borderline position

The borderline position in politics is not a permanent personality trait, nor is it a "diagnosis" for the few. On the contrary, it is a psychic stance to which any of us can shift when the conditions of life become unbearably uncertain. According to the theory of the Narcissistic Spectrum, our psyche is not static but is in a constant state of flux, depending on the pressure it receives from the environment, relationships, and the passage of time. When the political sphere is transformed into a field of existential threat and raw rage, rational thought collapses. This occurs primarily when politics ceases to be theoretical and begins to impact survival: poverty, unemployment, and economic deprivation. Under these conditions, the individual stops processing information and begins to function in a state of psychic alarm. The psyche no longer seeks merely an internal regulation to avoid fragmentation; it desperately demands solutions.
