A desire for a loud car in a man is linked to sadism and psychopathy, study finds.

Past psychological claims to attention-seeking behaviour fell unverified. The point was only to annoy other people, to cause uncomfort in them.

As we’ve been seeing elsewhere so much these days: Cruelty is the point.

Perhaps we invented attention-seeking to distract ourselves from noticing how much we promote and love these people? 🤔

Why fascists fash & conservatives vote for 'em

Fear drives, not just fascists, but most conservatives, who often see threat in neutral situations

They vote for "strong" leaders who share those fears & promise to eradicate enemies

They fear the unfamilar, are often poor at analysis, & evidence resistant

Typically, progressive thinkers are curious & seek evidence

Conservatives don't get progressive ideas, so fear them

Fascists, in addition, want to kill them

Re "even if we could identify such traits what would we do with that information??"

Imo, we would educate people to recognise the signs and never never ever vote for them.

Bad , this is how and poor is perpetuated in the human race: coupled with blood-diamond inherited wealth and you have a total powder keg. was spawned by a self-obsessed mother and an emotionally bereft sperm donor... a total lack of emotional connection with any caregiver results in who is today... and his addiction to impregnating assorted wombs ensures his damaged and dangerous bloodline continues!

TiffyBelle, to books

📚 Finished reading White Noise by Mercedes Mercier.

This book follows Dr. Laura Flemming, a prison psychologist tasked with writing a parole report on an inmate who seems to be a model prisoner, but who she feels is hiding something.

An excellent debut novel. A page-turner that won't disappoint fans of the thriller genre!
