What do I intend to convey in the phrase "bunker mentality"?
Silence when confronted with questions, critique, etc?
Silence is a means of maintaining control. It is avoidance of accountability.
When the period of silence is over. That is when "bunker mentality" comes ceases and leading ones come out of their "bunker" Next, you can expect "blame-shifting" message/communication to happen.
Is not that a fact what happened to Jo Casteel? The brothers leveraged "blame-shifting" in their "special meeting" of fellowship regarding her open letter?
Ironically "silence when confronted with questions" along with "blame-shifting" are traits, (but not the only traits" you can find in a narcissist.
