I might argue semantics. American culture is psychopathic primarily because it is run by oligarchs who worship at the great altar of Wall Street. But America itself is beautiful with mountains and rivers and Great Lakes and deserts and beaches and rolling farmland and forests. Let's not down the actual place or the common folks who live there just trying to survive. The psychopaths are definitely concentrated in DC and on Wall Street.

"I am sure you have your own interpretation. If you do, please share."

Thank you for this impressive attack on the Evil Crumbling Anglo-Zionist Empire, we are all part of.

My opinion, based on a growing pile of Genetic research, is that a percentage of 3-6 of us people has Genes that promote Psychopathic "Behaviour" and about the same percentages for "Autistic" Symptoms...

In the past, before the Evil Empire, which started in Rome, people were not living in a World that was one HUGE village, but in small social groups.

The tendency of Psycho's to misuse others, were quickly noticed and the social group responded on it which contained them to limited damage to its environment.

The impossibility for Autistics to be social manageable was accepted, since it didn't harm anybody and they had some smart ideas sometimes or functions nobody liked, like hacking stone arrows or sitting a whole night keeping the fire going...

So Autistics were more or less useful, during the start of the industrial age.

They were working in Woodwork, Stone-work, tool-development and metal forging and even established "Guilds" and the The Master-Apprentice relationship.

In War-times they were a nuisance...

But in War-times, especially when things were going wrong, it were the Psycho's that survived and passed their genes over to a new group they started, after fleeing the War, or even joining the enemy...

OK.

But now we live in an Empire, where all roads to the top are monopolised by Psycho's and if you aren't one, you will be victim of their games.

And to keep control, they are creating the for ever WAR, to prevent us Autistics to create a normal way of life again, based on logic and love. NOT on Groupthink, the Weapon of the Sociopaths.

Speaking of men named Ted, you should do an article on 'Uncle Ted' Kaczynski. Arguably, he might have been the very best person to have lead us out of the hellscape of our exact contemporary diseases. Read what he wrote about 'oversocialisation' if you haven't already done so. We can object to his methods, but it's hard to object to his analyses.

But yes, I agree, President Dexter would absolutely be better. He knows how to correctly direct his dark impulses on the truly evil. Imagine if he was let loose on D.C.!

The one thing I have come to realize about Americans is the that from the government ,media, business people on down to the average joe on the street is that they want the entire world to follow lock step behind them. They want everyone to give up all culture, goals and ambitions and melt into mimic type behaviour.

The government and the financial interests who own and leash them definitely do, but many (most?) American citizens don't. I was at a rally yesterday in support of Gaza organized by young college students and anti-imperialism in general was a theme with all the speakers.

This whole article is an insult to Ted Bundy, Gacy, and the others. They would never dream of killing hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people, even if they had the means to do so.

As Stalin once said, the death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic. The psychopaths in power are much worse than serial killers - and should be dealt with accordingly.

Where are the good guys with guns? Yes, I know, it's an urban legend - if it weren't, the world would be a much lot better.

Psychopath - essentially someone with a diseased mind, mostly in the emotional aspects. So says my 1954 Webster's.

That can be as much in the eye of the beholder as in the subject. A strict definition might get one to the 1% figure but it's easy to see how one might arrive at 30-40%. Or maybe, in a case like the Jewish state Israel, much higher.

Which would suggest that to some degree it's a learnable skill.

The other side of the coin would be what? A wise man or a sage? A Buddha? That's asking a lot. Perhaps part of society and culture might be setting up rules and structures so that more people can realize themselves as human rather than predator. (And I'll note that the Webster's definition doesn't include "predator"; it's merely a label for someone with a "diseased" mind or spirit. Diseased is an interesting word in this context, eh?)

I wrote about the revolution of empathy now taking place on college campuses in my own substack, witnessing the Gaza genocide, and quote several powerful individuals who oppose the protests and might fit the description you use in your piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/theraven/p/on-the-campuses-and-around-the-world?r=36q38&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Wait, Julian ... WHOA .... mentioning Joe Biden in the same column where you write of Ted Bundy? Really? Seems awful unfair to Ted Bundy. I mean, yeah, okay, Ted was bad, but putting him next to Joe Biden?

You are right. Mea culpa.

Oops, in my memory I mixed up Ted Bundy with Jeffrey Dahmer. Not that I endorse or excuse Bundy's bombings, but his polemic “Industrial Society and Its Future" was more right than wrong and with every year proving more prescient. Sorry for the confusion.

I think you mean Theodore John Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

I would advise everyone to take a look at a very important book by Guido Giacomo Preparata: "Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich and Destroyed Europe."

https://www.amazon.com/CONJURING-HITLER-BRITAIN-AMERICA-DESTROYED/dp/B0CL7MZBWT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23JJR5FBZXQ49&keywords=Guido+Giacomo+Preparata&qid=1698780121&sprefix=guido+giacomo+preparata%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-1

On the development of American psychopathy, see my own book: "Our Country, Then and Now."

Julian, you touched on something when you mentioned Nazis and AIPAC. They have taken my nation to a new level of depravity, murder and destruction. Because of their beliefs they are supermen and chosen ones they have a Nazi mindset. Oh yeah, they're as psychopathic as one can get.

Even our psychopaths are in decline as Rome had Nero playing the harp, but we get three chord Anthony strumming in Kiev.

Unfortunately, the leaders of U$AmeriKKKa have always been "Nazi Nazi in the Mirror, who is the Most Nazi of them All?" kind of PT Barnum steal, grift, rape, murder, poison. Sort of an AngloSaxonFrancoIberianGermanic THING.

C for criminal, and cunts as well.

These people are completely sane, ready to dump toxins, bioweapons, pollution, death rays, nuclear isotopes, economic viruses onto the world. Banks, insurance companies, real estate, mining, ag, oil, energy, big ag, chemical companies, AR-VR-MR-AI, the lot of them, all part of the planned SOP.
