I’ve researched sociopaths quite a bit. They’re characterized mostly by a lack of empathy, but often know how to simulate it effectively. That’s a skill the more successful sociopaths learn to better blend in with the normals and thus influence them. Their greatest threats are the true empaths, people who are very kind and helpful. Empaths will see through their charade and note that something about them is “off.” To this end, sociopaths like to target empaths with a preemptive strike. The sociopath will use a cabal of toadies (apaths) who might have genuine feelings but no moral center beyond themselves. The sociopath then gets his group to belittle and ostracize the empath, often falsely accusing him or her of something monstrous or embarrassing. The best outcome here for the sociopath is that the empath will withdraw from the group in shame and anguish and his cover will be solid.
However, some empaths have had enough experience with sociopaths to both recognize them and know how to defeat them. This is accomplished by networking with the group on an individual basis, one by one relating to each person (using the empaths skills) and finding out what the sociopath has been saying about everyone. Since sociopaths usually lie, and love to cause dissension and antipathy between their followers, he will have said something nasty about everyone behind their backs.
The empath only has to expose these lies to each person and then the whole sociopathic scheme falls apart. As the true monstrousness of the sociopath’s meddling is exposed, everyone turns against him.
This is usually when the sociopath leaves the group. Pretty much always. They’ll switch schools, clubs, or even jobs to avoid a group to which their true nature has been revealed.
I’ve done this to a sociopath twice. The first one was my boss. Once his schemes were exposed to all, nobody would work for him or listen to him and he got demoted, then later took an early retirement once it was clear he’d never enjoy what he did before. The second guy was exposed and pretty much everyone hated or actively disliked and mistrusted him. He quit.
Right.
I think there was a good reason for them to exist, perhaps way back in hunter/gatherer days but maybe not so much anymore, or not so many. They aren't all bad like psychopaths.

This was a great post. And, yes, these people will try to emulate some sort of high morality to hide their sociopathic behavior. There were two teachers at my last school who were the absolute worst people I've ever known. They would badmouth everyone behind their back. They would try to get people demoted or fired. And of course, they would lie about their classroom accomplishments and kiss admin's ass. It's not a coincidence that both of them are nonstop posting BLM nonsense on their facebook and planting signs outside their homes because they think it gives them some sort of illusion of morality, and to a large degree, it does work with the mindless automatons.

It is a great post but I stand by what I said, "They are not all bad". In fact, not all sociopaths realize they are sociopaths! Case in point: I watched a documentary sort of show put on by a psychologist (I think?) where he'd discovered he was able to select sociopaths from non-sociopaths by looking at brain images. I think they were CT scans.
He used himself as a control. When he came across his own image he realized, "holy shit! I'm a sociopath!", and he goes on to discuss it with his live audience. Pretty funny guy too and not a bad person at all. He did reflect on some of his past actions and decided to work on things... I'm totally paraphrasing but yeah...

This isn't the video but this is the guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vii60GUGTQU
This clip mentions psychopathy which is worse. I'm nearly certain the talk he recorded to a live audience was about sociopaths not psychopaths which are worse but I'm probably wrong/mis-remembering....

The wallstreetbets group is taking up on Silver [$SLV] as their next short squeeze target and $SLV price is already started rising breaking $26.5 at the time of reporting. It is to be noted that JP Morgan is among the largest silver short position holders and they may well be next Melvin Group.
