You and Brooks have really sunk Kenny. Tarring by association , or whatever you call it... "yeah, you and Bolsonaro, you and Trump" you and Hitler or whoever the #### else is bogeyman du jour. 2 can, of course play at that game, quite easily though frankly I can't be arsed. You can do better than that... And the bile, every firkin' time, where's that from? Chill the #### out.
Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
In case anyone is bored enough to be interested, here's the post I was responding to and that Thomas obliquely references in his little obscenity-laced tantrum against the "bile" and the "tarring by association" of others:
And of course there is the reference to "the knuckle draggers" and the "(inedible) word salads" (coming from the most consistently and verbosely unintelligible poster in the history of message boards). Here's a little quote for you Thomas. Can you identify the source?
