Concentrated power and wealth are intrinsically sociopathological by their very nature.
I have long spoken of the dangers inherent to centralization of power and the extreme concentrations of wealth centralization inevitably creates.

Longtime contributor C.D. recently highlighted another danger of centralization: sociopaths/psychopaths excel in organizations that centralize power, and their ability to flatter, browbeat and manipulate others greases their climb to the top.
In effect, centralization is tailor-made for sociopaths gaining power. Sociopaths seek power over others, and centralization gives them the perfect avenue to control over millions or even entire nations.
Even worse (from the view of non-sociopaths), their perverse abilities are tailor-made for excelling in office and national politics via ruthless elimination of rivals and enemies and grandiose appeals to national greatness, ideological purity, etc.

Obama is the poster child for this article.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is ill. Very ill.
Very simply put.An easy read.I met several of this very type at 3rd Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Obama although I agree he is a sociopath. It's all of the government. Senators Congress. All that have too much control over us and too much wealth and have become greedy for more power and money.
