Excellent insight. The only thing it overlooks is the bona-fide psychopath, who has no interest in “for their own good”, but instead seeks power itself, for the sole purpose of having it and exerting iron control over the populace.
“...the bona-fide psychopath, who has no interest in for their own good, but instead seeks power itself, for the sole purpose of having it and exerting iron control over the populace.”
How many politicians, military leaders and cops do you suppose fit that description?
And journalists and MSM talking heads?
Estimates are that 4% of the population is sociopath, no conscience, in it for their own gain.
These people gravitate to government for obvious reasons. Postion of power. Police, legislator, governor, lawyer, judge - all of these groups are probably more than 4% sociopath.
Sociopaths learn how to fake empathy. They are really good at it.
