bbc - Psychology: the man who studies everyday evil

"Lyons and her student, Amy Jones found that night owls - people who stay
up late but can't get up in the morning - tend to score higher on a range of
dark triad traits. They are often risk-takers - one of the characteristics of
psychopathy; they are more manipulative - a Machiavellian trait - and as
narcissists, they tend to be exploitative of other people. That might make
sense if you consider our evolution: perhaps dark personalities have more
chance to steal, manipulate, and have illicit sexual liaisons late while
everyone else is sleeping, so they evolved to be creatures of the night."

PSYCHOPATHS AMONG US - Hare estimates that 1 percent of the population
are psychopaths.

"Weeks of intense therapy, which are producing real breakthroughs in the
other youths, will probably make a psychopath more likely to reoffend.
Psychopaths are not like the rest of us, and everyone who studies them
agrees they should not be treated as if they were.

Babiak says psychopaths have three motivations: thrill-seeking, the pathological
desire to win, and the inclination to hurt people. "They'll jump on any opportunity
that allows them to do those things," he says. "If something better comes along,
they'll drop you and move on.

Paul Babiak says he's 'not comfortable' with one researcher's estimate
that one in ten executives is a psychopath, but he has noticed that they
are attracted to positions of power. When he describes employees such
as John to other executives, they know exactly whom he's talking about.
'I was talking to a group of human-resources executives yesterday,' says
Babiak, 'and every one of them said, you know, I think I've got somebody
like that.'"

psychology today - Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

"Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more
(because this is a truly quotable article):

"Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just
want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"

fastcompany - Working for the Boss from Hell

"I tell this story in the context of this month's cover package on psycho-
pathic bosses and the organizational havoc they wreak. As Martha Stout,
a psychologist at the Harvard Medical School, tells us, "People see socio-
pathy [a synonym for "psychopathy"] in their personal lives, and they
don't have a clue that it has a label or that others have encountered it."

"Our research suggests that the relationship between feelings of vulnera-

formidable and dominant mates is stable, and does not update according to
environmental circumstances or relative level of protection needed."

Dr. Mary C. McDonald - A Price Worth Paying

"In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in the white light of publicity. Whether the leadership is vested in a man
or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. In
art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are
always the same. The reward is widespread recognition; the punishment,
fierce denial and detraction. When a man's work becomes a standard for
the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious
few."

r - Individuals who score high on narcissism enjoy an early surge of admiration

"When a group of strangers is thrown together, individuals who score
high on narcissism enjoy an early surge of admiration, recognition and
friendship among their peers. But over time, their self-assurance and
showmanship cease to build or sustain the growth of friendships.

I used to research with a professor at my university who studied social
interaction and group interaction. The Dark Triad (narcissism, psycho-
pathy, and Machiavellianism) is a really hot topic in social psychology
right now.

The linked article explains that narcissism and emotional intelligence
are distinct and not inversely correlated, so some people are both
narcissistic and able to maintain friendships, and being narcissistic
doesn't mean you're likely to have low emotional intelligence."

theGuardian - Is Trump a psychopath? I'd call him a narcissist

"Dutton has ranked world leaders throughout history on the Psychopathic
Personality Inventory - Revised (PPI - Revised), and awarded Trump a
score of 171, two points more than Hitler. There's not much in it at that
level, though it doesn't assure their capacity for genocide - Henry VIII
trumped both at 178. Hillary Clinton doesn't fare brilliantly in the test,
scoring 152; that's between Napoleon and Nero."

bi - A Harvard psychologist's advice on how to argue when you know you're right

"Hard as it might be, the best thing to do when you're fighting with a
significant other isn't to persuade them you're right. That just breeds
negative feelings.

According to Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy, the best thing to do
when you're in a position of power is to listen."

tnw - This scary artificial intelligence has learned how to pick out criminals by their faces

"The outcome was impressive. Apparenly, the neural network could tell
criminals apart from non-criminals with a stunning accuracy of 89.5 percent.

These highly consistent results are evidences for the validity of automated
face-induced inference on criminality, despite the historical controversy
surrounding the topic, the researchers say."

But Trump displays this behavior to a compulsive, uncontrollable degree.
He is unable to accept a criticism, any criticism, however valid or mild, of anyone on his "winner list."

He incontinently accepts and amplifies every criticism, however poorly founded or unsubstantiated, of anyone on his "loser" list.
He seeks revenge, domination and humiliation of those who defy him.

https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/5s62rd/redditor_interprets_trumps_view_of_others_and/dddamv5/?context=3

History is replete with smug bureaucrats who thought they could finesse and control megalomaniacal leaders, only to have things spin quick out of their control.

https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/5s62rd/redditor_interprets_trumps_view_of_others_and/dddceus/?context=3

Even Stalin's rise had some elements to of this. Stalin was a plain spoken uneducated populist in a sea of Bolshevik intellectuals. This led party members to consider him a minor entity who could be used to appeal to the masses, but shelved when he was no longer useful. Lenin tried to use Stalin's appeal to regular folks to blunt Trotsky's attempts at power.

"When viewers left the Underwoods at the end of Season 3, Claire and Frank
parted ways in the midst of Frank's presidential campaign for re-election. Frank
was, as usual, ruthless in every way, doing whatever it took to earn people's
votes and win the Iowa Caucasus against rival Democratic candidate, Heather
Dunbar. In the process, he relied on Claire to stump for him when his favorable
ratings plunged, and he did nothing for her needs. Fed up, Claire walked out."

plos - Francis 'Frank' J. Underwood: A Textbook Case of Antisocial
Personality Disorder


"I always like to take the opportunity to explain misunderstood psychiatric
concepts or diagnoses, and to clarify when a psychiatric term is used
incorrectly or prone to misinterpretation. In today's blog, I aim to do both
of these things.

We have to stay curious about ASPD - about how the disorder develops, how
to detect it, how to manage it - as our societies pay for its consequences on
many levels, economically, socially, and emotionally.

And when someone with ASPD ends up in a position of unparalleled power?
Well, who knows what the consequences could be."

Psychologists confirm the narcissistic spectrum model in a new study: The higher the narcissist's self-entitlement and grandiosity, the more and more separation occurs between grandiosity and vulnerability. Those highest in self-entitlement are either almost all grandiose or almost all vulnerable.

r - TIL Psychopaths don't procrastinate, tend to focus on the positive, don't take things personally, don't beat themselves up if things go wrong, even if they're to blame, and they're assertive and cool under pressure. These can be good characteristics in both the business arena, and in everyday life.

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/a3gvu9/narcissists_are_less_likely_to_support_democracy/

Narcissists are less likely to support democracy, finds a new study, which suggests this is probably because narcissists tend to feel entitled and superior to others, which results in lower tolerance of diverse political opinions. (eurekalert.org)


There is a study that showed "general conspiracist beliefs were predicted by high individual narcissism but low self-esteem." I think this is an interesting coincidence worth investigating, given the increased role that conspiracy theories play in modern politics.

These are just emotionally abusive tactics, to label someone an abuser there must be a pattern of behaviour. Also, are there degrees to abuse? Definitely! While these tactics can seem minimal and not that important, subtle emotional abuse like this is, in fact, damaging and can leave lasting traumatic effects.

r - Don't fall for it...

"The technique described above is Engage / Entangle, from a list (sometimes
(and likely falsely) attributed to Karl Rove) which made the rounds of the
Internet years ago:

Engage
Demand an elaborate, time-consuming comparison / analysis between your
position and theirs.
Entangle
Insist that the Liberal put their posts in their own words. That will consume the
most time and effort for the Liberal poster."

r - You guys... Proud Boys founder Gavin Mcinnes once shoved a dildo
up his ass on live video to 'own the libs' and prove he doesn't hate gay
people. The thought process of these people is truly baffling. (NSFW)


"I have no clue what to do with this information other than be confused. Am I
an owned lib now?"

r - The German counter attack to put down the Warsaw Uprising is probably impossible to put to film without looking too cartoonishly evil

"The German Army Division sent in to fight the rebels was an infamous unit
ran by a serial pedophile and murderer whose actions were so ghastly that
even Himmler and the SS felt that he was overly brutal. The men under his
command weren't much better. The unit was made up mostly of German
convicts and just about the most evil members of the German Army."

A QAnon influencer who accused Democrats of being pedophiles turned out to be a convicted child molester

"QAnon followers claim that there is a 'deep state' of senior Democratic Party
politicos, CEOs, and celebrities that run a sex cult involving children. There is
no evidence for this theory.

However, records show that Todeschini is in fact a pedophile. In 1990, he was
convicted of coercing an 8-year-old boy into sexual acts in 1987, as noted on
the New York state sex offenders register."

Y! - Yes, He Would: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes

"And he's blaming others, for why this has happened, and getting us to blame
ourselves.

If people look back to the history of World War II, there were an awful lot of
people around Europe who became Nazi German sympathizers before the
invasion of Poland. In the United Kingdom, there was a whole host of British
politicians who admired Hitler's strength and his power, for doing what Great
Powers do, before the horrors of the Blitz and the Holocaust finally penetrated."

r - Inside Putin's circle - the real Russian elite

"Putin's ruthless purging of the upper ranks of the military, along with the
apparent incompetence with which the high command has steered the invasion
of Ukraine, could lead to considerable future discontent in the army, including
lower-rank generals. This means that while the military will not itself move
against Putin, it is also very unlikely to move to save him."

vox - Could Putin actually fall?

"But it's important to see a gray area here: accepting that Putin's end is
more likely than it was on February 23, the day before Russia launched its
offensive, but still significantly less likely than his government continuing to
muddle through. The war has put new pressure on the regime, at both the
elite and the mass public level, but the fact remains that Putin's Russia is an
extremely effective autocracy with strong guardrails against coups and
revolutions."

YT - General Wilhelm Mohnke - Downfall

"Mr Minister, the Russians are shooting your Men from the Volkssturm down
like rabbits. They have neither experience in urban warfare nor suitable
weapons.

What these men lack in fighting experience they will compensate
with their fiery unconditional belief in the final victory.

Herr Minister, if you can't arm these men, then they can't fight, they die
pointless.

I can't feel compassion for them, i repeat, i can't feel compassion for them,
the people chose this fate themselves, that may be a surprise for some
people, don't give yourself to illusions, we did not force the german people,
they appointed us themselves, now their little throats will get cut through
for it"

"Wilhelm Mohnke lived until 2001, he was one of the last living generals of
World War II.

Somewhat unnerving how this minister went from 'please take care of my
family' to 'some of them may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make'

Goebbels, arrogant and smiling at the fate of the German people. He's saying
'you got yourselves into this by getting us into power'."

The Brutal Killing Of A Reporter Who Probed Putin

"As Vladimir Putin's political star rose, journalist Anatoly Levin-Utkin was
a key researcher behind one of the first Russian media reports digging into
the former KGB officer's past. Then he was beaten to death."

newsweek.com - Putin Branded a Narcissist in Leaked FSB Letters

"The FSB whistleblower suggested that Putin also has the 'strongest
psychological resistance of personal responsibility for difficult decisions.'

It is a result of the 1) 'Narcissistic disorders' above, but in turn, this also leads
to a mechanism for denying his own guilt responsibility even to himself, they
continued.

We can say the following with near absolute certainty: Putin is psycho-
logically incapable of refusing with justification, an offer from his closest
circle. But this also leads to the conclusion that he does not guarantee
anything to anyone by saying 'yes,' because to guarantee is to take
responsibility."

r - TIL: In 2020, a study was performed by asking pedestrians to cross a
street hundreds of times and found that the likelihood of a car slowing
down decreases by 3% for every $1000 in car value. The study followed
up a Finnish study which concluded Audi, BMW, and Mercedes drivers
were unempathetic.


"Disengagement and a lower ability to interpret thoughts and feelings of others
along with feelings of entitlement and narcissism may lead to a lack of empathy
for pedestrians among costly car owners, they theorized in the study."

currentaffairs.org - Sociopathy as a Lifestyle Brand

"One interesting thing about sociopathic influencers is that, while they develop
huge fan bases, because they are sociopaths, they often rob their fans, with
the fans' goodwill making it easier to prey on them."

Y! - How BTK Coined the Term 'Cubing' and How It Helps Serial Killers Elude Capture, According to Experts

"He suggested that compartmentalization wasn't the best way to understand
how killers are able to live among the general public undetected. In his mind,
the phrase 'cubing' made more sense because it represented the 'different
faces of a person.'

'He can be what he needs to be. He just twists the cube around,' Ramsland
explained."

G - To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep voting for him. Psychologists may have the answer

"Trump exemplifies extrinsic values. From the tower bearing his name in gold
letters to his gross overstatements of his wealth; from his endless ranting
about 'winners' and 'losers' to his reported habit of cheating at golf; from his
extreme objectification of women, including his own daughter, to his obsession
with the size of his hands; from his rejection of public service, human rights
and environmental protection to his extreme dissatisfaction and fury,
undiminished even when he was president of the United States, Trump,
perhaps more than any other public figure in recent history, is a walking,
talking monument to extrinsic values."
