🔍 The Study of a Digital Narcissist: Why This Archive Exists
What happens when intelligence is wielded as a weapon?
What does it look like when persuasion becomes manipulation—when confidence masks deception?
Joel Johnson is not an anomaly. He is a blueprint—a case study in online narcissistic manipulation, intellectual entrapment, and rhetorical control.
His tactics are subtle, insidious, and meticulously crafted:
✔ Gaslighting & Deception – The strategic distortion of reality.
✔ DARVO & Blame-Shifting – Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.
✔ The Illusion of Intellectual Superiority – Rhetoric as a tool of dominance.
✔ Echo Chamber Engineering – Cultivating loyalty through psychological conditioning.
✔ The Manufactured Drama Cycle – Conflict as a tool for social control.
This archive is not just a documentation—it is a forensic dissection of how digital narcissists entrench themselves within online discourse, influence perceptions, and construct self-reinforcing ideological fortresses.
We expose not only the tactics, but the psychological mechanisms that sustain them.
