Sociopaths Etal

I've spoken often of sociopaths.

They are everywhere.

They can be Presidents. They can be relatives, living and sucking off humanity.

They can be anybody.

That btw, is why they function.

"Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding." Ducard from The Dark Knight

It is 'polite society' that allows such to exist.

I guarantee you, sociopaths/psychopaths CANNOT be cured.

They will only learn to manipulate therapy.

This from Wikipedia:

'The prototypical psychopath has deficits or deviances in several areas: interpersonal relationships, emotion, and self-control. Psychopaths gain satisfaction through antisocial behavior, and do not experience shame, guilt, or remorse for their actions. Psychopaths lack a sense of guilt or remorse for any harm they may have caused others, instead rationalizing the behavior, blaming someone else, or denying it outright. Psychopaths also lack empathy towards others in general, resulting in tactlessness, insensitivity, and contemptuousness. All of this belies their tendency to make a good, likable first impression. Psychopaths have a superficial charm about them, enabled by a willingness to say anything without concern for accuracy or truth. Shallow affect also describes the psychopath's tendency for genuine emotion to be short lived and egocentric with an overall cold demeanor. Their behavior is impulsive and irresponsible, often failing to keep a job or defaulting on debts. Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential consequences of their actions, not only for others, but also for themselves. They do not, for example, deeply recognize the risk of being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour.'

Sometimes, the behavior can be managed. They are sought out for specific work in intelligence and as I have said, just look at the behavior of DC in the mid 90's.

Oddly there are no diagnostic criteria for sociopaths/psychopaths. It is often referred to as antisocial behavior.

What if btw, we who champion Restoration of the Republic, are categoriezed as antisocial?

That is the Soviet model of mental instability ie, thinking for oneself.

Black is white, the case with much of social science.

As Mr Meek (Yep that was his name), my World History teacher said, 'As one gets older one finds that everything gets greyer'.

It's a gut feeling and that is not very scientific.

Thus, why in my studies in psychology, I have referred to much behavior as evil.

That is considered irrelevant, but I have sometimes to my chagrin, found it to correspond.

It's chagrin because as you might surmise, evil is not a popular term in psych.

I was told it was unwise to try to combine a degree in Clinical Psych and a career in ministry. I still say they are congruous and combine the mental, physical and spiritual.

All of life combines these things IMHO.

Sociopath is what I'd call a person who has not crossed a certain line. They have only thought about certain crimes or have committed petty offenses or have not been caught in either major or minor crimes or at all. And if a minor, age wise, then it is brushed off and the records expunged AS a minor.

Psychopath is that line crossed.

They violate another and often several lives raping torturing and killing.

But only if caught.

That is the safety net for these pukes.

They come from all levels and all professions.

And many escape with a pat on the wrist. There are those in the criminal justice system who are the same. Many fall through the cracks.

Many get reelected.

So, my word to the wise is simple.

Don't let them.

At least, watch them, note them, keep a record.

Expose them.

Stop playing their game.

Time to make YOUR own rules.

Rules based on what else but our history.
