I wish I could live in the same of world of these conspiracy theorists.It seems to be so exciting. A lot of threats, deragend technologies used to menace the society, perils from outer space, angry old gods about to drop their anger upon the humanity.
And the people who believe in these absurd theories are the only ones who have glimpsed the truth, and if they were really powerful, they could stop the evil plans of the demonic phalanges that keep people asleep.
Maybe. Thereâs this vicious, petulant fury that underlies it all, and I canât help but think that it comes from somehow knowing, deep down, perhaps subconsciously, that they are not just full of shit, but also exactly the evil they want to project onto someone else, and that they are actually miserable.
Not all of them, of course. Their sociopathic leaders are smug and happy. But the rank and fileâŚ
As long as this becomes our Unimatrix Zero, Iâd be cool with that. 
Potential âlaminate this wallet cardâ vibe here:
when the fifth edition of the diagnostic manual was published in 2013 (the DSM-5), it included a ârange from 0% to 6.2% in community samplesâ for NPD5 and âtwelve-month prevalence ratesâ of ASPD âare between 0.2% and 3.3%.â6 In both cases, the DSM-5 acknowledged the large NIH study, but considered it as simply part of a range of possibilities. While this is good cautious science reporting, we are left wondering whether these are significant mental health problems or significantly increasing mental health problems.
Maybe some tips here on how to spot them in the wildâI mean, itâs obvious if they refuse to wear facemasks in crowds, etc., butâŚ
Iâve been speculating for years that the number of sociopaths is MUCH higher than 1 out of every hundred.
That same politifact article states
And so on. Historically, when psychaitry is called on to solve political problems, the end results are ugly.
Well, weâve got Generation Lead, but weâve also certainly seen the creation of a new culture in the United States (and elsewhere) of glorifying sociopathy, so itâs likely previously closeted sociopaths are now out and proud.
In time theyâll be demanding their own rights movement. Oh, wait, they already are.
ETA:
Wrong thread, moved to the âBelow the Radarâ thread.
And if you are keeping score, in a completely unshocking development, Covid deaths are now trending upward again as well. When Il Douche said we were âturning the cornerâ I am pretty sure this was not what he meant.
The cemetery is around the corner?
Can I get there via the South Lake Union Train?
Kids are starving because their parents canât (and shouldnât) work because of Coronavirus, and the Tories wonât fund free meals for them. Itâs not going down well.
Is that a euphemism?
Theyâve probably done a fly-by, took one look at us as a species and decided âno, we are not assimilating themâ.
All weâd do is contaminate their hive mind with crazy ideas like chemtrails and anti-vax
Youâd think, right?
Yeah - weâre like David Crosby - theyâd spit up right out!
Itâs actually called the South Lake Union Streetcar, but people absolutely call it the SLUT because itâs funny to say, âhey bro letâs ride the SLUT lolâ.
Thatâs never actually been its name and anything saying it was is just perpetuating an urban legend. Sorry to be Mr Fun Destroyer here.
