Welcome to....THE PARTY

[Horse with no Name]

"We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?"

3. Yep

and remove the curtain of democracy... you get a brick wall and a boot stomping on your head forever.

Fuck sociopathy,and the criminals who have it, and fuck the enablers that misplace pity on sociopaths ,identify with it and defend it.
People without or very aware of the scourge of sociopaths, authoritarians &narcissists can live in peace..as long as no bully sociopath hood winks or frightens them into giving away their own power to the so called "leaders" and systems they create to control others.

when will people realize the problem of sociopathy is real and a big problem? Sociopaths are a huge threat a big distraction and a human rights travesty & is a danger to humanity the longer the sociopaths are let off the hook,excused and allowed to take from everyone.
