I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(
I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.
There’s not enough education about psychopaths and the dangerous subtypes like dark-triad psychopathy.
I only learned about it in my mid twenties.
If we taught about it there could be prevented a lot of harm.
If you don’t know about it chances are that you always ask yourself „how could someone do This?!“
Simply because they have characteristics that are so far away from your world of feelings and perception of social stuff that you are incapable of understanding it unless you get informed, at least this was my situation.
I disagree. Everyone is free to make their decisions. Whether it is a feeling of good and evil, a philosophical or religious belief or a simple “I don’t like jail time” does not matter. Also, there is a very slippery slope of “this guy has an evil mind, better lock him up before he does something”.
How is anyone free? You don’t pick your genes or parents or where you’re born and grow up, which friends you happen to make, or what opportunities come your way in life both for gain and for loss, trauma, abuse. How any of us grow into adulthood as fully functional compassionate human beings seems like a miracle, unless as OC said, you recognize that some people simply are just wired for evil, and need to be treated differently.
What if someone meets the person of their dreams? Or, as cliche as it sounds, finds Jesus? Or wins the lottery and decides to retire to a life of sipping cocktails on the beach?
What if you have a traumatic experience, can you look into the mirror and say you could never ever under no circumstances murder a person?
You don’t punish people for things they have not committed, period. No matter if you think they are the wrong type, or wrong race, or wrong whatever. That is a road that leads to pretty dark spots in human history.
Nobody is talking about punishment before a crime.
My point stands: Psychopathy as a topic has to be educated about.
Well Picard Manoeuvre has made the odious post, whatever his reasons he now belongs in prison for a long time.
