Why red pill guys think they can diagnose people randomly?

My exp with a redpill was exactly this, he would diagnose me, ramble on about how I'm stupid, I dont have any logical arguments, that I'm too emotional, unstable, BPD, irrational etc etc. Its written all over trp

It stems from a desire to feel in control and maintain their egos. Smacking a derogatory label on someone they view as intimidating, inferior, or different helps them do that. I have a miserable RP acquaintance who is perennially threatened by others’ success thanks to their own insecurities. Their coping mechanism is to throw labels and buzzwords around. Examples:

Friend who is thin and fit? “She’s anorexic and insane.”
Friends purchased a house? “Broke millennials living outside of their means.”
Woman has a successful career? “She’s just a glorified secretary.”
Happy couple gets married? “She’s just a gold digger.” “He’s settling for mid.” “They’ll be divorced soon.”
Woman gets a degree in a rigorous field? “She got her cute little fluff degree that wasn’t as hard as mine.”

These labels only seem to come up when someone gets/accomplishes something that they don’t have. Tearing down others helps them feel better about their own life, and armchair diagnoses/labels/buzzwords help them feel smug and authoritative about it.

Considering that basic red pill dogma is that women have the minds of children and are fundamentally incapable of rational thought, I don’t see how they can possibly turn around and also start throwing around diagnoses from the DSM-5 at the same time.

Red pill is either

right about a bunch of pseudoscientific deviations from modern psychology, including the idea that half the population lacks autonomy and the capacity to think rationality, and can’t help but operate “hypergamously”— NONE of which is supported or espoused by any trained psychologist, OR
obligated to admit to being full of shit, so they can throw around diagnoses like “BPD” or “narcissistic personality disorder” that come from sources that utterly disagree with red pill’s alternative female psychological model, which argues that men and women are drastically genetically different psychologically.

I don’t see how you can possibly have it both ways. The way basic red pill 101 materials describe it, just “being female” would have to be a major, recognizably different psychological model in the first place, with its own versions of everything.

It's all over dating advice. It's just the rampant misuse of therapy talk to obfuscate the fact that they have no idea why their ex behaved the way they did 9 times out of 10.

It’s a lot of projection for one thing. For another thing they heard those words and throw them around like crazy, without really having a clear understanding as to what they are. I’m 45 and have only met one person that would truly fit all the boxes of narcissism

It's clear that redpillers are the real narcissists.

I keep seeing these disorders being related to the red pill more and more. It’s validating in some way because that’s exactly my experience. I don’t think all red pillers are but there’s definitely some correlation with narcissism mainly, in my opinion.

And yes these guys know a lot about psychology and are diagnosing people to control them it seems like. My ex used to say I’m too unstable emotionally but he was playing psychological games with me all the time, how am I supposed to be ok if you’re taking me through ups and downs everyday?

It's a way of gaslighting and dehumanizing others. A big part of the red pill, even in the name, is deluding themselves into thinking they are the sanest and smartest person in every room.

Not sure that that is an exclusively red pill trait. People just like telling other people want is wrong with them. example: this sub telling red pillers what is wrong with them.

There is some irony for ya. Why do exredpill folks think that the can diagnose red pill guy?
