💯 This is one of the lessons in my forthcoming book, How to Save Ourselves and Our World from Narcissists: 'Accept that there is evil in the world.'

Not everyone is good deep down inside. Some people take great pleasure in hurting others and wrecking things.

Until we confront this, we're hosed. Our forebears executed sociopaths, they were that dangerous. We have promoted them to the highest positions of power and wealth.

Ukraine update from Giorgio Provincialli:

What Russia can not claim, it destroys.
Desperate cruelty revealed in targeting civilian cathedrals and theatres. Since Russia can not rule Ukraine, they are trying to erase the culture and history of Ukraine.

Now? The realistic scenario is that world's richest man will tank your #pensions, after condemning millions of poor and sick people to death by cutting aid. You can look forward to working for every plate of food, when you're old and your bones are aching. You don't even get the cash you invested.

Benefits for the #rich & risks for the #poor!

I hate this, but I don't know the solution. The entire system is rigged for a few #sociopaths to splurge, while the rest struggle to survive.

Disarray: Alarm inside #Pentagon after #Hegseth staff purges

Since #Trump’s first term, they have been viewed comfortingly as the “adults in the room,” a last line of defense against the impulsive whims of a president with access to the #nuclear codes.

After unprecedented wave of #firings that has been compared to #Stalin’s purges, Pentagon top brass no longer seem like such a reliable bulwark

#Ukraine proposed part of #Donbas be renamed #Donnyland: NYT

Integratory
This is where the most interesting part is for me. For example, where they have renovated Hare's questionnaires, and posited that #psychopaths are born, and that #sociopaths are made by the environment, but that both are not CATEGORICAL, but rather DIMENSIONAL, and composed of several traits, along which people may vary.

An additional approach is to use the highly validated OCEAN scales, and postulate that #psychopathy is just settings on the OCEAN scales.

@carrieberry
People without #empathy are #Sociopaths.

#SerialKillers are Sociopaths.

...and our government is being run by Sociopaths who have bombed 10 countries in 13 months, put antivax ideologues in charge of our health, ended all foreign aid programs, decimated SNAP benefits, and fired tens of thousands of government workers with no regard for how it might affect the people they serve.

Sociopaths, which includes narcissists, never mature past a childlike level. Never. Would you trust an eight-year-old to make wartime decisions involving the entire US military?

"Hegseth’s rhetoric is so alarming that it sometimes eclipses how he also can come across like an eight-year-old boy inventing dialogue for the villain in his G.I. Joe game."

I'M SURE MOST PEOPLE AGREE that #CaptBoneSpurs was disturbingly cavalier about the fact "American troops were likely to die" as a result of his unprovoked attack upon #Iran. #Israel is already suffering casualties, and 3 U.S. troops (so far) are dead.

Typical #GOP lack of #empathy. #Sociopaths

Which member of YOUR family would you be willing to sacrifice in exchange for #RegimeChange in Iran?

“The global human rights system is in peril,” wrote #HRW executive director Philippe Bolopion. “Under relentless pressure from US President Donald Trump, and persistently undermined by China and Russia, the rules-based international order is being crushed.”
