I believe this blog is a very good learning tool. It has opened my eyes to watch for traits that I never associated with an emotional disorder. The thing that bothers me, is the fact that I have posted three thoughts and every one of them has been turned into some emotional evaluation of me as a person. Seems funny to me that we can’t discuss what my thought was, instead of “why” iI had the thought. A discussion between differing points of view leads to one of four things::1) you teach someone something; 2) you learn something form someone, 3) you agree to disagree; or 4) you get into a fight. I prefer the first three options over the fourth. Seems to me that someone who is unwilling to consider another person thoughts could easily fall into the the emotional category that this blog is trying to discuss, but again, I could be wrong, just like everyone else.

Are you asking for commentary? My view: I also read your posts at your personal blog. The superb points that you are trying to make in your articles are often clouded by your insertion of some unnecessary hateful statement. The hate becomes the focal point. In addition, your comments/responses sound like you’re drunk. Maybe you aren’t a psychopath, but did you grow up around them? People who have grown up with them will unknowingly assume their habits.

What I write about in my personal blog does contain some hatred. Hatred of what has been done and is being done to our nation. I do not hate the people, but I can hate what they do. If they lie, deceive, hide things, cover up things I have every right to hate that. It does not mean I hate the person. As far as I know Obama is a good father, and good husband, a good friend, and a person who enjoys life. I also think he has a perverted view of how our nation should function. Instead of refining what is not working to his liking, he is dead set on his “transformation” and will not stop to realize the consequences of his action, because he is so sure he alone knows what it best. If I can’t hate that then I’m just left with quietly disagreeing with someone who will not yield his point – and that accomplishes nothing. I believe it will take anger/hate to galvanize enough people to make a difference. Chamberland’s approach to Hitler didn’t turn out so well before WW II, and Pearl Harbor was meet with anger and hate for what was done. Once we won, we didn’t keep hating Germans or the Japanese.

You are totally off base, starting with referring to psychopathy as an “emotional disorder.” It is clear that you don’t like intelligent, knowledgable responses or challenges to your mindless banter, but you are looking for fault in the wrong place. Inability to substantiate your claims, hate mongering, an abundance of logical fallacies, entitlement over what other people discuss, and attempts to censor views that don’t appeal to you add up to appallingly poor reasoning skills and lack of intellectual integrity. You are blind to these things, but many of your readers see them clearly and you can expect some of us to respond with objections and counter-arguments. Attempts to vilify any such respondent only makes you look worse.

Your first 5 words were great and looked like you might explain why they were said, but everything after those 5 words had nothing whatsoever to do with what I said. I presume many of the readers will see clearly that you never indulge in vilifying anyone. Seems like I am guilty of: hate mongering, have an abundance of logical fallacies, have entitlement over what others discuss, attempt to censor views, appallingly poor reasoning skills and no intellectual integrity. I posted a message. Your comment ignored the message and devoted your response to the messenger. I guess us poor old folks who just want to learn something should just shut up and let the experts tell us what to think and how to act. Come to think of it, that seems to be the very problem this blog is trying to get resolved. Our elected officials seem to have the same attitude as you do. No offense intended, just an observation from a hate mongering, logical fallacies, entitlement over others, censor views, poor reasoning skills, and no intellectual integrity guy.

Jerry wrote about his concerns, saying he has “hatred of what has been done and is being done to our nation.”
Your blinders show clearly when you just focus on recent years — as if historical events have no bearing on the present.
The damage to this nation occurred over time in increments, throughout history, beginning with the killing and displacement of Native Americans and enslavement of African Americans. Until there are reparations and other forms of healing with systemic reforms, America will go in circles.
It continues through ongoing systemic racism and sexism that attempts to promote and support the false ideology of white and male superiority. That’s why so many incompetent people are in positions doing damage — they get credibility based on race and gender but lack adequate empathy as a result of viewing themselves as the only important human beings in the world, the only ones who matter.
Ideology constitutes psychological and spiritual violence when it goes against nature and that which honor spirit and the natural world.
This is where the roots of sociopathy can be traced — false ideology imposed on the masses, with incompetent people in positions of authority who used propaganda and violence to keep people in fear and compliance.
There is a Native American concept known as “Wetiko.” It refers to cannibalism that attempts to devour and destroy human life by damaging others mentally, psychologically, spiritually and physically. Native American philosopher Jack D. Forbes wrote that wetiko is a reference to the lack of morality and values of the western ‘civilized’ man embodied by Europeans like Christopher Columbus. This morality represented insanity to original inhabitants of America who lived in harmony with nature and the land, and had strong connection to the spirit. Natives attributed wetiko to the greed and materialism that causes severe harm and results in deprivation, disrespect and threats to others’ survival that extend to systemic genocide.
Get out of yourself for a change, Jerry. The world does not revolve around you. If you don’t know your own limitations, your real strengths will not serve this world for the better since you can only see your own preferences and references.
Hatred is sometimes legitimate but it is mostly an existential wasteland, often displaced and misdirected for the purpose of scapegoating the wrong people, since you cannot bear to face the real culprits of chaos.
What would happen if you dared to hate extremist white males who look like you, who are obstructing progress for this beautiful nation?
Racism and sexism are forms of violence against entire groups of people due to systemic oppression imposed by those who seek to control and destroy others.
The extremist white males in power who seek to disempower women and people of color collectively behave like sociopaths — whether they are sociopaths or not. Many of them lack basic maturity and should not be in positions responsible for the welfare of diverse human beings.
If you cannot make these connections on a macro level, the micro and minor stuff makes no sense due to lacking context.
