Well, she’s quite the pepperpot! Good woman.
Great interview!
Unsurprisingly, psychopaths have the highest recidivism rate of all violent criminals. Most likely to reoffend, and least likely to obey a restraining order.
Some resources on psychopaths:
video – This offers a definition of “pathocracy” near the end. Perhaps it’s time we start using this terminology more often when discussing politics.
“The Psychology of Psychopaths – Predators who Walk Among Us”
The pathological government gun control issue offers a segue into the topics of political ponerology and “pathocracy” – a political system in which psychopaths rule.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_ponerology
Political ponerology is a concept popularized by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej ?obaczewski.[1] ?obaczewski advocated using the fields of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and history to account for such phenomena as aggressive war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and despotism.
Andrzej ?obaczewski and early research group
During World War II, ?obaczewski worked for the Polish Home Army, an underground Polish resistance organization. After the war, he studied at Jagiellonian University under professor of psychiatry Edward Brzezicki.[2] ?obaczewski’s class was the last to receive an education uninfluenced by Soviet ideology and censorship, after which psychiatry was restricted to Pavlovian concepts. The study of genetics and psychopathy was forbidden.
?obaczewski adopted the term “ponerology”, which is derived from the Greek word poneros, from the branch of theology dealing with the study of evil. According to ?obaczewski, all societies fluctuate between “happy times” and “unhappy times”. During happy times the privileged classes enjoy prosperity and suppress advanced psychological knowledge of psychopathological influence in the corridors of power. Though happy, these times are not necessarily morally advanced as the privileged classes’ prosperity or happiness may be premised on the oppression or exploitation of others. To block out such inconvenient truths (the voice of conscience) the privileged use ‘conversive thinking’, which means changing the outcome of the reasoning process to a more convenient outcome. This is accompanied by a rise in egotism and emotionalism. This growing ‘hysteria’ of the privileged classes (emotionalism, egotism and conversive thinking) spreads across society over several generations. National hysteria is a natural cycle and forms a sine-wave almost 200 years long. Hysteria causes people to lose the ability to differentiate between psychologically healthy and pathological individuals. In this environment the behavior of ‘characteropaths’, or individuals with slight brain tissue damage (e.g. from toxic substances, viruses, difficult births, pathological parenting) is accepted as normal and this acts as a gateway to normalizing the behavior of those with genetic deviations, including psychopathy. Finally, near the point of maximum hysteria society becomes polarized and paralyzed and the most pathologically egotistical of all ‘spellbinders’ can come to power. The spellbinder worsens the psychological health of those under his or her influence. This may be the beginning of a ‘pathocracy’ (though not inevitable) in which individuals with biologically based psychopathology, including personality disorders (especially psychopathy) occupy positions of power and influence.
What’s with the eyebrows? Have real eyebrows gone out of style?
Spunk is good.
I agree with everything she said, she makes the case for the elimination of weapons laws much better then I do, for many decades people have been calling hand guns equalizers, they remove the weight and strength difference and make everyone equal in self defense. This is why I keep posting articles about the efforts to get the Second Amendment enforced in all states.
