    Its less about the kid and more about how there exist “people” in this world who have fallen to such depths of depravity due to biological (psychopathy) and economic factors that they quite literally snatch candy from children.

        I admit that “psychopathy” is an outdated term but how is it being a nazi to say that sociopathy is caused mostly by brain structure? I understand that it has been used as a slippery slope to eugenics but it doesn’t have to be because eugenics is a terrible idea, there are more humane solutions to manage sociopaths like not having a society that enables their behaviour and early childhood intervention. I’m open to learning the truth and apologizing if I am wrong.

          Firstly, terms like “psychopath” and “sociopath” have a long history of being used to abuse and persecute neurodivergent people. Secondly, you are diagnosing a person who you know nothing about with an extremely complicated mental condition.

          I’m open to learning the truth and apologizing if I am wrong.

          Looking through your moderation history, you have had at least 2 years to learn. Unfortunately you seem to be more occupied with jerking off to underage videogame characters than you are with becoming a better person.

              Wait are you saying I am a nazi who should be banned because I casually called the candy-stealing millionaire bastard a “psychopath”?

              A nazi bar is a space where bigoted views become dominant due to a lack of censorship.

              Learn what? I have no history of supporting eugenics and/or fascism. What are you on about?

              Frequent use of “subhuman” as an insult.

              Use of “ape” as an insult.

              Usage of ableist “REEE”.

              Use of “genetic abomination” as an insult.

              Misgendering.

              Banned for “History of racism, ableism, misanthropy and hostility”.

              Attributed cruel behaviour to “Biological factors”.

                Frequent use of “subhuman” as an insult.

                Yeah I believe that things like SA, fascism, genocide, and hoarding wealth are sub-human behaviours, is that wrong?

                Use of “ape” as an insult.

                Yeah I agree its an insult to call IOF members who do despicable genocidal crimes against humanity “apes” because apes are better than them. I apologize to all primates.

                Usage of ableist “REEE”.

                I didn’t know it was ableist at the time, I acknowledge I made a mistake, and I’m not going to use it again. Simple.

                Misgendering.

                You’re wrong, where is the misgendering?

                Banned for “History of racism, ableism, misanthropy and hostility”.

                Yeah that was because I called IOF members sub-human. I have no history of racism. I can accept hostility and misanthropy but I don’t do that anymore except against zionazis. The hostility and misanthropy was because I got too mad at people who I perceived to be ableist.

                A nazi bar is a space where bigoted views become dominant due to a lack of censorship.

                Ok if in your experience using the word “psychopath” as an insult *towards the bourgeoisie leads to bigoted views becoming dominant then I’ll retract my comment and apologize.

          Psychopathy is not an outdated term, it’s a current medical term with a specific meaning that is not the same as the meaning of sociopathy. It is true that there is a correlation between so-called “dark triad” traits (which include psychopathy but not sociopathy) and being rich on account of the fact that even shitty people are sometimes “held back” from the greatest degree of corporate success by a sense of empathy that psychopaths, who can be either shitty or decent people like anyone else, don’t have, but the majority of people with both conditions are not bourgeois and never will be.

          It’s so easy to just look things up even for the most cursory knowledge about them before making proclamations about them. It also should probably raise a little alarm bell in your head to say that any biological marker is really worth mentioning for explaining someone being bourgeois.

            What I mean by that is afaik there is no formal “psychopath disorder”, nor admittedly is there a “sociopath disorder” in the DSM5, only ASPD.

            that any biological marker is really worth mentioning for explaining someone being bourgeois

            You’re figuratively putting words in my mouth. Im saying that there are possible differences in brain structure that if not given the proper support can lead to very antisocial behaviour like the one shown in the video, *as a causal factor in addition to being bourgeois (economic position leading to harmful behaviours).

              What I mean by that is afaik there is no formal “psychopath disorder”, nor admittedly is there a “sociopath disorder” in the DSM5, only ASPD.

              This is a slightly misleading distinction:

              Furthermore, the DSM-5 introduced a dimensional model, called the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) in Section III,[210] titled Emerging Measures and Models, which contains tools and measures for clinicians as well as novel diagnoses and criteria.[211] The AMPD diagnosis of antisocial PD includes a specifier – “With psychopathic features” – for manifestations of antisocial PD with psychopathic traits.[212][213] According to the DSM, psychopathy is not a standalone diagnosis, but the authors attempted to measure “psychopathic traits” via a specifier.

              Psychopathy exists even in the DSM, it’s just not its own disorder. One can still talk about someone prominently featuring psychopathic traits and meaningfully say that someone is a “psychopath” under this criteria (because not everyone with ASPD substantially features psychopathic traits), it just isn’t viewed as being a self-contained condition, which is different from it not existing or not being a meaningful, useful term. There are also many other respected sources of more modest scope than the DSM that use psychopathy as part of personality inventories and such.

              You’re figuratively putting words in my mouth. Im saying that there are possible differences in brain structure that if not given the proper support can lead to very antisocial behaviour like the one shown in the video, *as a causal factor in addition to being bourgeois (economic position leading to harmful behaviours).

              You have literally no evidence that this person has ASPD besides that they did something pointlessly mean (can you see why some people might take umbrage with that?), and if anything it more resembled sociopathic behavior if you insist on putting things in those boxes, but statistically he probably is not any type of ASPD because they are rare in the overall population and the “dark triad” bias, though statistically significant, is not overwhelming (and also includes other elements). There is nothing useful or epistemically sound about saying, in a way that you took pains to clarify was literal by saying “biological” this and “brain structure” that, that this person actually has a specific personality disorder.

                it’s just not its own disorder

                it just isn’t viewed as being a self-contained condition

                Yeah that’s what I was trying to say. I apologize for not being sufficiently clear.

                You have literally no evidence that this person has ASPD

                Yeah I don’t think I need further “evidence” to informally label someone a sociopath for hoarding wealth and behaving like a monster towards children. I never claimed to be a psychologist qualified to diagnose people nor that my comment acts as a formal medical diagnosis in any way. Stop acting like the bastards defamation lawyer.

                in a way that you took pains to clarify was literal by saying “biological” this and “brain structure” that

                Ok this is cope and the least charitable interpretation of what I wrote.

                So, to re iterate, the dbzero person said the kid isn’t a victim.

                I replied saying that no it isn’t about the kid, it’s more about the millionaire’s abhorrent behaviour that can be possibly explained by both “psychopathy”, which has a biological cause (never stated that it’s the only cause because that’s wrong) and the guys class position.

                Again this isn’t me formally, medically, diagnosing the millionaire on any authority, that would be wrong and stupid, you are absolutely correct. I am using the label “psychopath”/“sociopath” as a shorthand for demonstrating really fucked up, damaging behaviour to the extent that it’s reasonable to assume the person may have an inherent condition partly caused by biological factors.

                On one hand, I apologize for not being sufficiently clear and hedging my statements enough to demonstrate that I am not offering any form of formal, serious, medical diagnosis.

                On the other hand, I thought it was reasonable to assume the latter statement about randoms shit posting about how millionaires are bad.

                can you see why some people might take umbrage with that?

                Because they are experts in the field and are frustrated by flippant use of their subject area’s terminology? Other than that I genuinely have no idea other than that they have been formally diagnosed with ASPD and take offense.
