Perceived weakness can be a manifestation of strength.
Psychopathy starts with conformity
Myth-creation characterizes all cultures, because commonly-shared concepts alleviate the incessant and often futile struggle for successful interpersonal communication.
All popular terms are based on myths, that is, on “truths” that nobody questions or dares to question. Those, who do are considered stupid, deviant, or rebels.
Myths don’t have to be words; common practices can perform the task. For example, humiliating people by shutting them up with a muzzle or forcing them to act or speak in nonsensical ways can be habit-forming and create “myths” that, sooner or later, the majority automatically embraces. As a result of recognizing the phenomenon, I coined a phrase for “the common man” about 20 years ago: “the conformist psychopath.” Considering that only a few ascend to a level of consciousness where they can take advantage of their Free Will, it’s hardly an understatement that common behavior is a fundamental domain for psychopathy. American public schools represent a major field for compliance-training and conditioning for conformity.
Imposing myths on the masses dehumanizes the subjects, lowers their self-esteem, and takes away the little integrity they might possess. Name-calling, without a doubt, is part of these processes, and the bad news is that it works.
Dead ends in name-calling
In my previous post, I singled out the label “Nazi” as a cuss word, and showed that it only causes harm to everyone involved and, possibly, compromises the person who is using it:

This time, I direct my focus on another cuss word, “psychopath.”
To me, calling someone a psychopath is just another name-calling strategy. The most common such terms are usually divisive: “communist,” “Marxist,” “DemocRat,”and the like. Name-calling creates a false sense of superiority, encourages unnecessary boldness, mandates specific (and mostly fake) categories in conceptual thinking, and just like cussing, prevents further thinking and discussion. I addressed the problem before, specifically on July 2, 2022, when I pointed out that with a little effort, anybody can more-or-less accurately identify anyone else a psychopath, which is not good for anyone involved:

Considering how common this label and similar meaningless terms prevail in the public domain, the problem deserves more attention than whatever it receives.
It doesn’t matter if the use of the term is innocent or manipulative, because it is downright noxious either way.
Forms of origin and manifestation
Everybody is capable of ignoring or repressing feelings, and empathy is a feeling, whose lack defines the mythical and pseudo-academic concept of the “psychopath.” Various factors can contribute to assuming such an attitude.
More often than not, psychopathic behavior can only be countered with a reaction that also lacks empathy. Do you become a psychopath, when forced to defend yourself or or protect others and must assume such a stance? Psychopaths feel next to nothing, for which they can evoke compassion, but feeling sorry for your attacker cannot protect you or the ones for whom you are responsible.
PTSD occurs a lot more often than people might assume and it is not restricted to those who returned from war. Someone whose emotional threshold has been raised by traumatic experiences can develop a certain level of immunity to feelings. When anger1 contributes to their disposition, they can very well behave like psychopaths or can even turn into one of them. That’s one way a victim can become a predator.
While psychopathic behavior openly reveals itself, calling someone an incorrigible psychopath can harm the judging party more than it can affect the accused, and it puts an end to further discussions, while calling someone names gives away more about the person than about the target.
Billy Goat, Melissa, Killary, Fuxxi, and the like, are convinced of their superiority, and treat those they consider subhuman accordingly, but they can be nice and humane to their own folks. Maintaining a sense of superiority is an essential feature of all cultures and it functions as a cohesive force. A “culture” doesn’t have to be civilized. Humans are pack animals and their tribal nature constitutes one of their definitive characteristics; this is perhaps the main reason why propagandists can use the word “we” so successfully, and by creating imaginary groups or communities, otherwise-isolated members of their audience, all of a sudden, become malleable and they lower their guard against manipulative input. The innocuous-sounding “we” is actually an indispensable factor in the most powerful mode of manipulation:
Externalization of one’s own evil usually necessitates the selection of an enemy. It can manifest itself as cultural pride, but it can also become part of the official propaganda and take a turn to demonizing the opponent. Demonization turns the targets into subhuman pests or inanimate objects, only to be annihilated.
You must remember cases, when you were expected to comply with cruel or idiotic expectations or requirements, but you didn’t. Why?
Perhaps you didn’t want to become one of those whom you were fighting. Still, you were not a “psychopath.”
More on anger:
I’m okay with someone calling me a no good numbskull moron psychopath when I call them evil for twisting, killing and eating children. Words have meaning, when someone misuses a word they show their own ignorance. Call me whatever you want. If I see you harming a child i love i won’t restrain my wrath.
So let's say somebody comes on to substack and makes fun of your beliefs, name calling, says you must be infected with rabies in your brain. They generally treat everyone this way so that nobody can even express themselves or disagree without risking being insulted, name called.
Most everyone adores this person as if they are some sort of divine being from heaven. This person only parrots what many already knew but everyone has this theme going that "they told us first" utter nonsense.
Half of what they say minimizes and lays no blaim on the doorstep of those who harm us. As I see it this person is highly intelligent enough to know the truth but refuses to acknowledge it instead leading their followers to blissful ignorance. This person also pushed mandated vaccines for all kids when their brother was in a position to make laws in Canada and wants to censor anyone who disagrees with them
I call it out.
Another person fancies themselves some sort of savior because they're a doctor but they refuse to give exemptions to people who came to them instead telling them (they should be like the jews during the holocaust and just leave) walk off the job. They say that getting an exemption is getting permission from their master when really it's exerting their rights to keep their job and to stand up for their beliefs that they don't believe in taking the vaccine.
I called them out when they bragged about rejecting their friends request for an exemption. They insisted that I'm wrong, walking off your job would solve all our problems even though not enough people were against the jabs and businesses were threatened with fines that caused them to shut down if they did. All walking off does is cause good businesses to close, good doctors and nurses to quit, our hospitals left with killing doctors and nurses. We saw it play over and over. People walked off their jobs and lost everything they had. Gov flew in healthcare workers from the Philippines to replace USA health care workers.
This person acted like they're some hero as they bully others, sacrificing nothing, demand those around them to sacrifice, insulting them for not walking out. At their height of hypocrisy they refused to sign exemptions then asked others to sign their recommended papers which may protect them from mandates but didnt protect others in their time of need. It's all paper after all whether it's a law or an exemption it's all giving us "permission" as they said.
Please give me good reason to not stand up for those who are persecuted by these people. To not stand up for what is right. To not call these people hypocrites and bullies.
