When a malignant narcissist rallies flying monkeys against a target to create an atmosphere of group bullying it’s called “mobbing”[1]
I do know the behavior you speak of, and it’s pretty odd and sick. The NPD will post some quote from the Dalai Lama or Mother Theresa or one of those ‘mommy needs wine’ or ‘I’m done with all the S**T today, the next person who talks to me will be killed” or some other ‘humorous’ threatening type message, and all of their social media followers will chime in with ‘Girl, same!’ or “Big Mood” or whatever. The way they heap over-the-top praise and compliments on the narc is pretty sickening. it’s like being an unwilling visitor to a mutual-masturbation party.
As far as calling anyone out on it, don’t waste your time. Social media is the narcissist’s paradise and their playground. Get out of the sandbox (which has become a litter box now that the narc is crapping there) and get some fresh air out in the real world. Leave the crap to the crappers and their flying monkeys who just love to spread it around and eat it up!
