I was trying to follow up on Hideyuki Aizawa and could only find the article about him being forced to clear the property, and his fate is currently unknown by the video creator.

Most hoarding behavior is an emotional coping mechanism, and the association between age and attachments, as well as people with poor memories, might make them cling to objects to compensate.

A similar example of this is Andy Warhol who literally collected junk in boxes and had to record notes obsessively using a tape recorder, and many believed the hoarding was due to some kind of early deprivation which contributed to anxiety and emotional coping issues.

*************************

This is in Japan and kind of seems familiar to the above (an economic bubble from the 1980s gave enthusiasm to building things like this?) Was the theme park actually available to people, because it seems unconnected to another 'Holland Village' in Nagazaki? I believe the story they tell about a man and his wife is BS.

In 1985 a wealthy person built this ('Holland Village') theme park modeled possibly after another Holland theme park from 1983 (Nagasaki Holland Village, but it also goes by a different name, and it might have just adopted this park's name after that presumably closed down? I'm pretty sure it's not the same park even though that 1983 location has closed down several years ago; it couldn't possibly look like the one in this video.)


(Initially, I thought this might have been a private project since I can't seem to find any reference to it and only the Nagasaki park seems to be recognized online, and yet the part of the video 2/3rds the way through shows an image of a photographer from the edo era local to Nagasaki, so I assumed it might be connected, and may have just been an early failed park that was quickly forgotten in the miasma of the internet.)

Theme parks modeled after Holland are surprisingly common in Japan. . . It seemed to originate from 1853 which is how most theme parks originated, as a way to "experience" foreign travel destinations.

A new Napoleon film by Ridley Scott will come out in November, and here are some history-related movies (mostly documentaries, but The Duelist is one that came out in 1977.)

13 Ways Narcissistic Parents Sabotage Their Children
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog ... r-children

Spoiler

Show

Reward Compliance and Punish Dissent. Narcissistic parents reward compliance and conformity in their children through praise and privilege, and they punish free expression and differing opinions through judgment, rage, and rejection.

Devalue Their Interests and Strengths. Unless their children's interests and strengths reflect their own values or give them bragging rights, narcissistic parents ignore or actively malign their kids' passions.

Pathologize Their Emotional Responses. One of the most damaging aspects of narcissistic parenting is the narcissist's rage and resentment toward their children's normal dependency needs and emotional responses, which they typically frame as selfish, weak, and/or defiant.

Normalize Rage and Shame. Profoundly traumatizing for children of narcissistic parents is living in an atmosphere of normalized rage and shame, which elicits long-term nervous system hyperactivation, interferes with healthy development, sets the stage for both acute and chronic health problems, and adds to generational trauma patterns.

Play Favorites and Scapegoats. At the core of the narcissistic personality is a split between the ashamed and vulnerable interior self (which is usually kept repressed from consciousness) and the special (superior and entitled) exterior persona. As parents, narcissists typically project this inner duality onto their children, seeing one as an extension of their idealized self and another as an extension of their repressed shadow self. In homes with one child, that child may experience a roller-coaster ride of idealizing and scapegoating.

Alienate Their Relationships. Narcissistic parents engage in ongoing comparison, triangulation, and smear campaigns to alienate their children's relationships with the other parent, siblings, extended family, and social circle. With adult children, narcissistic parents may attempt to alienate their kids from their own children and spouse.

Gaslight Their Sense of Reality. Gaslighting takes many forms, but the purpose is to undermine other people's perceptions through lies and distortions. Narcissistic parents gaslight their kids to diminish their children's confidence and control what they think and feel.

Adultify Them. It is common for narcissistic parents to push their children into adult roles to meet their own needs. Exploited children may function as therapists, problem solvers, nurses, best friends, spouses, and the list goes on.

Infantilize Them. In contrast to adultifying, some narcissistic parents encourage dependency and helplessness in their children to maintain control, feel needed and superior, and get attention and sympathy from others.

Bail Them Out of Consequences. Narcissistic parents often coddle and bail out their favored child(ren) from consequences as an extension of their own sense of special entitlement and/or because it's easier for themselves.

Abandon Them in Times of Need. On the flip side of coddling, narcissistic parents may abandon their kids, even the golden child, in times of vulnerability and genuine need because they see it as weakness, don't care enough to be bothered to get involved, and/or enjoy their suffering.

Don't Teach Them Life Skills. Unless teaching their kids makes them feel important, narcissistic parents neglect their children's need to learn life skills that will empower their growth, confidence, and independence. Adding insult to injury, they often harshly judge their children for their resulting difficulties with coping as teens and adults.

Manipulate Them Financially. For most people, money represents survival, and narcissistic parents use it to control their children through gifts, payouts, and inheritance, which may be by turns dangled as a carrot, granted lavishly, or withheld.

Narcissistic personalities often make dreadful, dangerous, and traumatizing parents, but that doesn't stop them from having kids. (It also doesn't mean they lack all redeeming qualities; most narcissists pass along some good things with the bad.) So what do we do with the narcissists among us? We usually can't change them. But we can educate our kids about narcissism, trauma, and emotional literacy to help them help themselves and break the cycle for the next generations. That means each of us must do our part.
