self-derogation means agreement with the following:

I feel I do not have much to be proud of.

Sometimes I think I am no good at all.

I feel that I can't do anything right.

I feel that my life is not very useful.

Manipulators and abusers typically control other people by first "breaking them down" and making them feel hopelessness, despair, helplessness, and self-loathing, so that the victim will look towards the abuser and beg for a way out. And the abuser is ready to provide it: servitude to the abuser is the only salvation.

This is how the Left breaks and conditions people. It is a cult.
