I’m engaged in what B F Skinner called operant conditioning. It’s such a simple psychological effect, it works on all manner of animals. When an animal does something you don’t want, you do something the animal doesn’t want. Then the animal does it less. When someone platforms the idea that we’re all supposed to hate “sociopaths”, I create a pointless, annoying, and frustrating argument that pisses everyone off. Then people do it less. It doesn’t matter if I change anyone’s beliefs, this technique changes habits.

I’m willing to brand myself as a sociopath if it gets people to treat others with respect. I’m not going to abandon my fellow neurodivergents for self-preservation. We’re in this together.

You’re correct, sociopathy is a social construct defined by use. And I’m using it to refer to autistic people and people with other sociopathies, in a blatantly transparent attempt to manipulate the general public into having some sympathy for those who have been historically branded with this slur.

Now, with the source game out of the way - you cheated. You said sociopathy is actually a different disorder. I specifically told you not to cheat like that. You’re arguing for garbage medicine. You’re saying sociopathy is a real and very important diagnosis, and not just a Greek buzzword, and your source is a completely different entry in the DSM. You’re a pseudoscientist.

So you’re saying that the made up disorder you’re describing has been discredited and no longer exists in the DSM? Okay, thanks for playing.

I’ve met sociopaths and at least 2 psychopaths

Psychopathy is Greek for “mental illness”. I’ve met sociopaths with autism, and every one of them was definitionally a psychopath too. But I’ve also met psychopaths with mental illnesses like depression or PTSD, who were not sociopaths. I’m pretty sure every sociopath is also a psychopath. And if you’ve only ever met 2 mentally ill people, you are definitely not an expert on psychopathy and you shouldn’t be spreading misinformation on the internet.

I don’t believe you. Show me sociopathy in the DSM. And no cheating, I don’t want to hear you say that sociopathy is actually a colloquialism for some other disorder.

Hey, let’s not lower ourselves to Beast’s level. Sociopathy is just Greek for “social illness”. It refers to psychosocial disorders like autism. Beast is afraid of being called autistic because he’s a bigot. We’re not like him. We don’t hate autistic people.

That vocab isn’t in alignment with the APA’s inclusive language guidelines.

Sociopathy is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s just Greek for “social illness”. Autism is a psychosocial disorder, which means all autistic people are sociopaths. Beast’s mad dash to avoid being labelled neurodivergent is a very bad look on him. Only an asshole would feel the need to “defend” himself against being called a sociopath.

Don’t grade sources on leftness or rightness. It’s relative. Aggregation doesn’t fix the problem of Overton shift.

Fuck Ground News

Because they want corporate donor money.

We live in a mammocracy.

You left your SI in the link

Why would there be burglars in a post scarcity communist society, genius?

It’s an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you’re talking with on other websites.

You’d like Doctor Stone.

Six thousand years later, Senku’s body breaks out of the stone. He’s all alone in a world with no people, no technology, and no society. Fortunately, Senku has the power of science on his side. He vows to sprint up the technology tree and accomplish in his own lifetime what took humanity 10,000 years the first time around. He still wants to go to space.

Episode 1 has a rape scene.
