I realized this year that I've been a liberal my whole life. I've just been in a stereotypical post-liberal position of 'current woke isn't real woke' and 'the left should focus on economic conditions instead of culture wars.'
I've been familiar with trolling for a decade, but simply turning off the computer solved this problem. I never thought government agencies would directly engage in ragebaiting. I've become more like a woke person - I'm not getting my work done because I'm overcompassionate about society and things that don't relate to me.
What I want to know is: what should I do to stop caring about things that don't involve me? I've been reconsidering narcissists. I think there's a paradoxical aspect to narcissists where by only caring about themselves and not caring about others, they end up helping others. What books should I read to not care about society and to have a big ego?

That is a beautiful observation to have and keep having. We all contribute in some way, regardless of how we might strive to do otherwise. You should pursue the opposite, get deliberately involved in society and exist in the egos of others. Spread like a demonic parasite, all of your worshippers becoming extensions of yourself. You don't need a big ego, everyone else does. Think about it.

Narcissists and Dark Triad Lords are not freer or happier. They are bitter slaves of the passions with darkened intellects. The Wokealati are normally not better. One must flee society as a sinking ship and swim for one's life until one has found solid ground so stand upon. Only then can other survivors be rescued.

none of this makes any sense. narcissists aren't people that "don't care about things that don't involve them," they're people who think absolutely everything involves them, and therefore care about everything and involve themselves in everything in a self-serving manner. they end up harming others under the guise of concern, not the other way around. culture wars and political activism are essentially narcissism playgrounds, they were built by and for the benefit of exactly this type of person. your "overcompassion about society" is precisely your narcissism.

Being reasonable isn't a hill to die on, it's a garden to tend. Bickering with people who insist on watering theirs with gasoline doesn't help your garden, if anything it makes it more likely some of that gasoline makes it onto yours. Tend to your garden and leave them to their bonfires, when the madness passes you will still have a garden and when they are willing to learn how to tend to such a garden they will ask you themselves. Lead by example, not instruction.

Excluding all the race stuff, leftism is still retarded insofar as it upholds the biggest spook of our times, "Equality."

I dunno why narcissism gets a bad rep. I think the condition is not fully understood.

understood as in how it forms and how to reverse it, sure. but the actual patterns of behavior and thinking have been described to death. narcissists are both socially disruptive and individually miserable. it's a very good idea to avoid them.

Books by monks and mystics really actually help with this "I need to emotionally and physically feel hurt someone was kicked in Pakistan." Sayings of the Desert Fathers might be a bit intense for you but they really show how one can forsake this world for the Spirit. It is impossible to physically react to all these events and it is a false conscience--you can pray for things not within your emotions but to pretend at emotions is monstrous. If everyone is a small village of Pakistan was suddenly slaughtered I could pray for them but not feel for them--emotions are not unmitigated goods. St. Augustine on anger might be helpful. The other one that is paradoxical are St. Theres of Liseux that shows how our littleness is important. I would also recommend. The key point here is that we are interdependent, fragile, and hyper-connected individuals that really only can change the world by small actions with infinite love, which is power, behind them. The options are not just fake caring and narcissism but also includes the humiliation of knowing our powerlessness.

And even when it doesn't it tends to uphold fully ludicrous ideas like 'powers derived by consent of the governed', the nation-state (the lie that the state is the people), social contract etc etc etc

ethnic cleansing is good but yes, the left's investment of all their energy into maintaining insane virtue-signaling lies like "men are equal to women" or "whites are equal to niggers" or "the healthy are equal to the ill" probably has something to do with your complete inability to achieve real political goals in the world. all your aspirations are simply in the "how does this make me look" category, not in the "what happens on planet earth" category and they have been for so long you've forgotten what it was even like to actually do things instead of projecting appearances. the israelis, for example, have spent decades working out how to most efficiently explode browns, whereas you have spent those same decades practicing expressions of sadness and outrage in the mirror so that you can look more sad and outraged about browns being exploded than the other leftist retards of your acquaintance. so now the israelis are doing what they've learned to do and you are doing what you've learned to do. browns are exploded and sad faces are made. what else could the outcome have been?
