This is a list of recognized Psychopathic Traits, put together by a recognized authority on psychopathy.

Just see how many of these you can tick for Donald Trump, from his outward known behaviour.

1/3 psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/psyc…Image
I'm not trying to diagnose Trump, because you need far more background, I'm not qualified and the presence of psychopathic traits, doesn't necessarily make someone a psychopath, they might be more of a narcissist. Nevertheless, these are objective observable traits. @DanCady
2/3
My overall point, is that self-evidently, the current president of the United States has a worrying number (most) known, observable psychopathic traits. He lies constantly, never takes responsibility for anything, and he's criminally versatile, to list but a few.
3/3

I haven't been bringing attention to Trump's strong psychopathic traits, to insult him.

Rather I am alarmed that there is so little recognition, of just how deranged and abnormal Donald Trump actually is.

I've had the misfortune of being at the wrong end of people with this type of serious personality disorder, and realize that it is very misunderstood.

Psychopath, is not a synonym, for a bad person.
2/
Superficially, such people appear to be normal, charming, but what they are really like, is not at all apparent from how they appear.

"The Mask of Sanity: An Attempt to Clarify Some Issues About the So-Called Psychopathic Personality", says it.

In the madness unleashed by Trump, pretty much what I predicted but faster, the unfathomable greyness of Starmer in the UK (who is he working for?), the other dreadful lack of leadership, with all ignoring the climate crisis, I ponder what to say about it all.
1/
The BIG thing that stands out to me, is the total lack of any coherent response or analysis of what is going on, and our way out of it.

I don't really blame people, because we have been buried under a mountain, of disinformation, outright lies and monumental gaslighting.
2/
There are a 1001 takes on this. But all these only address some small aspects at best, and most of it is obvious.

In no rational world, should the halfwit with more money than sense, be playing a role in anything.

Trump's war on woke and DEI, is a dangerous performative distraction of a would be dictator and demagogue.

As many have pointed out, woke culture does not really exist, it is a fabrication of the extreme right. A fabricated straw man scapegoat.
1/🧵
It is the feature of all malignant, dictator demagogues, of both the right and the left, that they invent non-existent enemies and conspiracy theories, to wage war against those who oppose them, on false grounds, and to give themselves, enormous power.
2/
You will not find a single dictator in the whole of human history, who has not fabricated a non-existent enemy conspiracy theory to wage war against those who oppose them. This has resulting in horrific purges, and millions being killed. It is dangerous beyond belief.

I realize that many others have suggested this, which is why I am suggesting it, and it could work. However, it is the implementation, which will need to be worked out, for it to succeed.

I cannot see it working with conventional political parties.
1/
Most conventional mainstream political parties, seem to be vehemently opposed to wealth taxes, for reasons that are not all obvious, aside from neoliberal doctrine, which they all deny having, and they have too much affinity with the top 1%.
2/
It would seem, that it is something to do with an undeclared (probably neoliberal doctrine), that sees low taxes on the wealthiest, as necessary for economic growth. Or maybe they just are the most generous to our politicians.

I'm now starting to think, that the only solution to the predicament we are in, is a highly focused campaign to place progressive taxes on the top 1%, with the highest levels being on the very top, the billionaires, to tax them out of existence.
1/🧵
Without removing the malignant influence of the oligarchs, and their ability to corrupt and manipulate our societies, with their stupendous wealth, we'll only ever get the oligarch agenda. Then afterwards, we'll be on a level playing field, without this manipulation.
2/
What I'm talking about is a new political direction, and temporary party, with the simple aim of neutralizing the undue influence of the very rich, by reducing their wealth, to more modest levels, to remove their malign influence.

Let me explain the rationale of this statement, because I mean this absolutely.

It was always the case, that politicians, claiming they wanted to balance the pursuit of economic growth, with a responsible attitude to addressing the climate and ecological crisis, were lying.
1/🧵
Since politicians made these pledges at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, we have seen those obsessed with economic growth, make no attempt whatsoever, to reduce emissions, to stop the ongoing biodiversity decline. They make a few token gestures, that make no overall difference.
2/
Since world leaders pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, we have emitted more anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, than in the whole of human history prior to that.
