Pathocracy, or how psychopathy takes over
society
March 15, 2022 11:04 AM Subscribe
Pathocracy, identified by the Polish psychologist Andrzej Lobaczewski, is the
condition where government of society is dominated by those with
psychopathological disorders. It begins when one such disordered individual
emerges as leader figure; soon, their personality amplifies it, filtering out those
appalled by their brutality and irresponsibility but attracting others who see it as
charisma and decisiveness. Soon, others with psychopathic traits attach themselves
to the power hierarchy, while responsible and moral people leave or are ejected,
and before long, the entire government is filled with people with pathological lack
of empathy and conscience. This psychopathy soon spreads beyond the
government, through the population, through propaganda and polarising ideology.
Lobaczewski based his theory on two regimes he observed in his life: the Nazi
occupation of Poland, and the subsequent Soviet-backed Communist regime. In
return, he was imprisoned and tortured by the Communists, only managing to
publish his theories after escaping to the US in the 1980s. While his observations
were based on the moral rot in 20th-century totalitarian societies, the phenomenon
is transferrable to other contexts; it is suggested that post-Reagan/Thatcher
capitalist-individualist societies particularly select for psychopathic and narcissistic
traits.
The good news is that, according to Lobaczewski, pathocracy is not stable,
eventually falling apart as its brutality alienates the population.

For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.

No speech from Nigel Farage expressing disgust and inciting riots - it seems he's as interested in 'protecting women and girls' from white sex abusers as his alleged violent rapist friend Andrew Tate ... meme via Reform Sunderland Watch
