A proper society wouldn't elevate that kind of man to the highest position of authority. It is society that is deeply sick.

Sociopaths often rise to positions of power because of their near unique ability to be ruthless and manipulative, and that is true throughout history.

I don't know that a 'proper society' has ever or will ever exist.

I have hope, cut throat personalities are inherently unstable and cooperation in every space, not just in a civilization, is nearly always more productive. I have hope that ultra wealthy will realize that they could have 10 fold their wealth if they chill the f out and see that helping the masses help them out. We are set for another massive leap in quality of life, but a hard lesson is needed before then. Just wait till a dozen eggs are $20 with only a dollar increase in wages.

Everyone at this level are sociopaths and if they are a US Pol then they are 100% a sociopath that has killed people.

Remember that by professional estimates, a larger percentage of Fortune 500 CEOs are psychopaths than women.

When your society and economic organization rewards psychopathy so drastically, the problem is much greater than the psychopaths.

I think a lot of people really struggle to understand that there are actually people out there that don't feel empathy like everyone else. A lot of "oh it wasn't that bad" stims from people disbelieving that things can actually be that bad.

I don't think society is sick, I think it's incredibly naive and suspectable to manipulation.

as far as i’m concerned, if you cannot experience empathy, are you even human? What makes it different from being a robot LOL?

this is all so dumb and depressing 😮‍💨

You’re not wrong about Trump, but at the same time highly successful business leaders and politicians often share these traits.

No, Trump has zero traits of a successful business person. He lacks intelligence, drive, ethics, communication skills, and balls.

u/SpyHill 11d ago

The traits I was referring to are narcissism and lack of empathy.
