Interesting: my narc is always repeating the mantra "you're living in the past" or "the past is the past" anytime his past of inappropriate behavior is brought up. Projection?

Yes! In my experience, my ex would attack, accuse, blame me for all the things he did, to the power of 100.
Narcs don't like a genuine recounting of history. They like the present illusion. They call the genuine recounting "living in the past". They demand that everyone only succumb to the sanitized illusions of the present, ungirded by historical fact. They are politicians and master manipulators. If you see a culture that disregards and dismisses the past, it is probably highly narcissistic.
