THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY:

These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable.

First, to recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind.

(1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.

(2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.

(3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else’s fault.

(4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.

(5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.

Avoiding deep discussion of this, but want to add that you can’t identify them by what they say or what they (pretend to) believe.

The only two sure fire identification techniques I know are what they do:

• Cruelty to small animals.

• Willing to hurt themselves in order to hurt somebody else more.

these people, they, they, they, they….

….help protect you….

plenty of siege bullshit in that

PS. If you want a personality profile on an axe murderer, ask me.

So you are telling us that if some person in the public eye, lets call him Fergus Laing, exhibits all 5 of these traits every time he appears in public, we still can’t tell if he is actually sociopathic, unless we see him being cruel to small animals?

Seems a little odd.

Well, I’d say that every politician exhibits all five of those traits. You can’t tell me that they’re all sociopaths.

Let’s take trait 1. Habitual liar. It they’re habitual liars then they’re really good at it. Which means you’ll never know whether they satisfy traits 2, 3, 4 or 5. Professional sociopaths can easily fool professional psychiatrists.
