When reading posts from JSH, you should always keep these facts in mind:
"Alternatively, the narcissist feels victimized by mediocre bureaucrats
and intellectual dwarves who consistently fail to appreciate his
outstanding - really, unparalleled - talents, skills, and
accomplishments. Being haunted by his challenged inferiors substantiates
the narcissist's comparative superiority. Driven by pathological envy,
these pygmies collude to defraud him, badger him, deny him his due,
denigrate, isolate, and ignore him. The narcissist projects onto this
second class of lesser persecutors his own deleterious emotions and
transformed aggression: hatred, rage, and seething jealousy."
"Paranoid ideation - the narcissist's deep-rooted conviction that he
is being persecuted by his inferiors, detractors, or powerful
ill-wishers - serves two psychodynamic purposes. It upholds the
narcissist's grandiosity and it fends off intimacy."
"The paranoid delusions of the narcissist are always grandiose,
"cosmic", or "historical". His pursuers are influential and
formidable. They are after his unique possessions, out to exploit his
expertise and special traits, or to force him to abstain and refrain
from certain actions. The narcissist feels that he is at the center of
intrigues and conspiracies of colossal magnitudes."
