Benjamin Franklin said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
In other words, something noble like the Constitution only works for decent human beings who have a conscience.
It does not and cannot work for evil, psychopathic criminals who have absolutely no conscience, because they will utterly ignore it and do whatever they want.
The United State Consitution, much like the Ten Commandments, is simply a set of guidelines for decent people who want a better life. There's nothing inherently in it to force anyone to behave, so the psychopaths don't.
It's up to the rest of us to deal with them.
damn, son... I wish more people understood this. And for the new kids, a psychopath is simply a person with no empathy and therefore no conscience.
want to really change the world? Teach normies how to recognize and avoid narcissists and psychopaths. Don't make friends with them, don't work for them, don't marry them and for gods sakes don't reproduce with them.
that would change the world.
“Don't make friends with them, don't work for them, don't marry them and for gods sakes don't reproduce with them.”
Yes, great advice. The tricky part is that many of them are covert.
Spotting psychopaths is very necessary in business recruiting, but if you learn to look for it they become somewhat easy to spot. The are several books by Robert Hare that are very helpful for spotting Psychopaths, and once you've seen a few, the characteristics (like a fake smile at inappropriate times) become easy to spot.
"...many of them are covert."
Guilty of being with a highly successful/functioning narcissist for 12 yrs, finally broke it off 5 yrs ago.
I'm still healing... but it was all my fault and I'm sorry dear.
Yeah they never accept blame for their weirdo behavior. Good for you for getting yourself free
Their weirdo behavior is your fault. You’re the crazy one.
I have learned so much about a psycho's MO. I absolutely refuse to become friends with any of them anymore. They're like robots and everything is about them. They're obsessed with money and sex. And when they get busted on something, they either gaslight or become the victim.
I just don't have the energy to deal. And, I don't want to.
