The greatest threat to #Empath personality-types is not in fact the #DarkTriad personalities that target them, but the adoption of #Altruist traits by the Empath

Put bluntly, you can’t help anyone unless you first help yourself, and you can’t walk a mile in another person’s shoes unless you first know yourself

But, that is why the #Narcissist favours altruism-themed shaming as an abuse tactic, weaving it through every stage of Narcissistic Abuse; it is not merely effective, it is the most harmful. The fact that Western society endows altruism with implicit moral authority is secondary, a bonus, which lets them get away with it in public.

#Psychology #PersonalityTypes

Every #Psychopath always causes as much harm as possible satisfying their selfish desires at the expense of others as they are able to get away with

Not as little harm as necessary to get what they want

As much as they can

Always

The only difference to single out the #CriminalPsychopath is that their core delusion has progressed to the extent that even while in custody they are convinced they’re getting away with it. So yes, the full horror of psychopathy is on display for all to see. But that’s it. That’s the only difference. Optics.

"“Based on our findings, there does not appear to be a specific attraction between light and dark personalities,” Kesenheimer told PsyPost. “Rather, individuals with light personalities are more likely to place trust in people who are typically rejected by others.”"

“It is important to clarify that light personalities – loving and trusting individuals – do not actively choose dark personalities (nor is the reverse true),” Kesenheimer added. “Instead, the key finding is that individuals with light personalities are less likely to reject those whom others tend to reject. This highlights how a general tendency to see the good in people, while often positive, may also reduce selectivity in romantic contexts.”

1- When I was younger) I thought that the lessons of #WWII would forever inoculate us against overt fascism.

2- When I was younger) I though that humanity, in general, had evolved past the point were SF scenarios of #DystopianTech , making existential decisions for us, could ever really happen.

Only took ~15 yrs of #DarkTriad #AlgorithmSocialMedia , elevating all batsh!t ideas to mainstream, to trigger both.

I am drafting a "rules of association". It is partly an exercise, and partly an guess at of something that may become real.

Starting with the standard rules for an "unincorporated association": (https://www.acnc.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2021-07/download_template_rules_for_unincorporated_associations_with_notes_pdf_639kb_.pdf)

But I am tired of organisations infiltrated by arseholes, and I wonder if it is possible to put standards of behaviour front and centre.
I am inspired by Mastodon's "No Nazis", but I am not sure it is either specific, nor general enough.

Please help. Does your group have something-like this? What have I missed, and, in the interests of sanity, what has been double-defined?
