That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Yes, my understanding is that they're irredeemable. They are often the people in power because they bully their way up.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)

Ironically there is a German neo-nazi party that was abbreviated NPD until they where renamed in 2023 to The Homeland. Yes, that pathetic name is their official name.

It is a broader pathology of our society that rewards this sort of destructive behavior
