My answer couldn't be less subtle, and I don't see how anybody's answer could be "much simpler" than mine, which was condensed into a couple of sentences.
As to the need to "extend it to oneself" that's a given. The media that ML is analyzing - and the whole western doctrinal system - does not extend it to themselves. They see themselves, "us", as the "good guys". That's the premise of all their lying propaganda. Your implicit criticism here - a different context - seems to be that posters at TLN arrogantly regard themselves as "good guys". Not sure what you mean by that, but I assume it's related to the fact that you disagree with many here on a number of issues, including the lockdown. Instead of making this into a moral question about whether people have sufficient humility in your view, why not just argue for your position?
