No more than 1% of the popn & typically marginalised by their communities, today's criminal psychopaths have organised to an unprecedented level (via the internet, for all its goods)
For psychopaths, power is everything. Money is just a means to it
They have no empathy, so no conscience.
The disorder is so far incurable; only we can stop them.
Civil disobedience is not our problem.
Our problem is civil obedience.
Our problem is that people all over the
world have obeyed the dictates of leaders.
Millions have been killed because of this
obedience. Our problem is that people
are obedient all over the world in the face
of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war
and cruelty. Our problem is that people
are obediently filling our jails full of petty
thieves while the grand thieves are
running the country. That's our problem.

Actually, I don't think he chickened out here, he's just doing some serious backpedaling because his theories of schoolyard bully trade policies are not working out in reality.
@VisualStuart that's late stage generational #NPD + likely severe #psychopathy for ya. the result of growing up in a society at the peak of hyper-capitalism in a family led by a renowned member of the #KuKluxKlan, in a deeply racist, imperialist country.
solidarity ☮️🖤 & solidarity to everyone struggling & resisting out there.
"A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion. The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology."
Another area where the POTUS is setting up a constitutional challenge with the judicial branch:
"The Associated Press said in a court filing on Wednesday that the Trump administration had defied a federal judge’s order requiring the administration to restore the wire service’s full access to the White House."
"Lawyers for the The A.P. wrote that a White House spokesman had told A.P. reporters on Monday that they would continue to be excluded from the press pool — a small, rotating group of journalists who cover certain events in confined spaces at the White House — because the “case is ‘ongoing.’”
"For the last two months, The A.P.’s access to President Trump has been sharply curtailed over its refusal to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, the name that Mr. Trump designated for the body of water."
"In a temporary order last week, Judge Trevor N. McFadden of the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C., said the exclusion violated the First Amendment’s free-speech clause and instructed the White House to restore The A.P.’s access “immediately.”
@briankrebs Trump will never be able to not abuse power given to fight back against those opposing his acts of arbitrary injustice, illegal decisions & obvious idiocy.
A Congress not resolutely showing him the way out of White House door & telling him he'll never be able to come back, such a Congress is derelict & complicit in un-American activities.
My interest in anything Apple just fell through the floor.
That company has a maggot: CEO is going to have pics of himself celebrating the inaugeration of psychopathically driven ethical collapse. It will be a very bloody, world killing splashback. Anyone facing reality knows it.
