New tactics and devices that could be used to gaslight people..

 If you want to be part of the solution rather than the problem this is the way, community engagement, and recognizing, and admitting to yourself when you participate in these patterns of behavior.

To get a society to realize that their manipulative tactics are the problem is extremely challenging because narcissism involves a lack of empathy, grandiosity, and resistance to acknowledging fault or change. Typically, narcissists do not readily see their behavior as problematic due to their need to protect their self-image and control others.

Here are some strategies based on psychological insights and expert recommendations for dealing with narcissistic behavior in groups or society:

Set Clear Boundaries and Promote Accountability

Narcissists respond poorly to boundaries being set and enforced. Clear limits about acceptable behavior, and consistent consequences when crossed, can reduce manipulative tactics. In a broader society context, this involves social or legal systems promoting accountability for manipulative or abusive behavior rather than enabling it through tolerance or complicity.therapynowsf+2

Promote Empathy and Awareness

Creating environments where empathy is emphasized can mitigate narcissistic behavior. Raising awareness about narcissism and manipulation tactics educates people on the harm caused and encourages self-reflection. This can be done through education, community programs, or leadership advocating inclusive, respectful behavior.choosingtherapy+1

Encourage Self-Reflection Through Feedback

Regular, structured feedback focused on behavior rather than personality can help narcissists see consequences of their actions without triggering defensiveness. This needs to be done carefully to avoid escalation. In a society, this might take the form of public discourse, media, or group norms that reflect on toxic behavior.therapynowsf

Foster Emotional Detachment and Resilience Among Victims

Since changing narcissists themselves is difficult, protecting the emotional health and resilience of those affected by their manipulation is key. Encouraging emotional detachment from the narcissist’s provocations can reduce the power narcissists gain from manipulating others.counselingcentergroup+1

Limit Engagement and Avoid Feeding Manipulation

Reducing unnecessary communication with narcissists can limit their influence. When interaction is necessary, sticking to brief, factual, unemotional communication (the "Gray Rock" method) deprives narcissists of the reaction they seek.counselingcentergroup+1

Promote Safe Spaces Free of Narcissistic Disruption

In social or community settings, acknowledging the disruptive impact narcissistic individuals have is important. Supporting those who form healthy subgroup connections and avoiding catering to narcissistic demands can minimize their impact on the broader group dynamics.youtube

Recognition and Education as the First Step

Helping society recognize the presence of narcissism and labeling manipulative tactics for what they are is crucial. Awareness enables collective understanding that the problem lies with the manipulative behaviors, not with victims or the norms being established.deltapsychology+1

In summary, making narcissists themselves realize the problem often requires professional intervention and willingness on their part, which is rare. However, at a societal level, promoting accountability, empathy, education, and protection from manipulation can collectively reduce the negative impact of narcissistic tactics and foster healthier social environments.

This approach calls for a combination of boundary enforcement, education, emotional resilience, and social norms that do not reward manipulation.talktoangel+3youtube

So it is what it is but those that continue the controlling, manipulative behaviors whichever they may be,  Here's your chance to better yourself and make tomorrow and the future a better place for all.  Because we are all the same or equal even the leadership, they are just as flawed as anyone else is but we outnumber them that is why they want us divided instead of united.
