Dostoevsky on Blake Lively lol

Dostoevsky understood something about people like Blake Lively long before celebrity PR culture existed. In Brothers Karamazov, Father Zossima says that those that are quick to take offense are the people that lie to themselves the most. Sounds familiar? And I can't stop thinking about that as we see this saga unfold. What strikes me isn't even the alleged smear campaign discourse anymore. For me, what's striking is the complete inability to self-reflect. At some point, you have to ask, what if people actually reacted to me because of my own actions? Not because of a coordinated conspiracy, or because the public's so narcissistic or manipulated. But Blake, humans can feel when someone is being performative and self-protective and entitled and insincere. The thing that Dostoevsky understood is that some people cannot psychologically survive seeing themselves clearly. And Blake is one of those people. Instead of self-reflection, she's become obsessed with controlling the narrative. If she loses control of the narrative, she might actually have to confront herself. That's why she's perpetually offended with her paper-thin skin. Her offense is her armor. For Blake, it seems that every criticism has become a harassment, the consequences of her actions have become abuse, and somehow uncomfortable reactions are proof of her victimhood. But the mask is slipping, Blake. The mask is slipping because genuinely self-aware people can handle the fact that they might have been wrong. They can accept that they might have come across poorly because of their own actions. But Blake, you are trapped in the fantasy of your own innocence, and you have made us all the villain for simply observing your patterns of behavior. What do you think of Blake's patterns of behavior? Let me know in the comments and always stay spicy.
