Narcissism Nation: A Psychopolitical Reckoning Is Coming.

We’ve all seen it. The rise of the influencer class. The weaponization of identity. The passive-aggressive empathy. The performative “healing.” But none of this is random. It’s not cultural drift. It’s design.

Welcome to Narcissism Nation—a forthcoming book and movement that maps the American experiment as the original narcissistic wound. A country founded on grandiosity, entitlement, and the myth of exceptionalism, now exporting psychological dysfunction like it’s Starbucks.

This isn’t Dopamine Nation. This isn’t about fleeting pleasure or digital addiction. This is about pathology at scale. A civilization built to reward narcissistic traits and punish relational depth.

We’re tracing the blueprint—how the American project engineered the very disorders it now claims to diagnose and treat. From politics to pathology. From the DSM to DACA. From the founders to the influencers. All of it is a performance of power. All of it has a psychological cost.

We will unpack:

• How capitalism rewards dysregulation and punishes community.

• Why the DSM is more cultural artifact than scientific text.

• How anxiety, depression, and eating disorders are logical outputs of a system designed to isolate and extract.

• Why narcissism isn’t a mental illness—it’s the operating system.

Narcissism Nation is the raw feed. The debrief. The defibrillator.

This is the book that had to be written. Because the therapy industry won’t say it. The government can’t say it. And the influencers are too busy selling it.

The flag is planted. The myth is collapsing. And if you’ve ever wondered why your suffering never quite fit the diagnosis— You’re in the right place.
