Don't act like you don't love this. I know you do. 😏

Lol! Bull shit!

Nice try tho. 😅

I was wondering who I'm dealing with and I read some of your comments. You admitted in one that your autistic. You wrote: "As an autistic person who struggles...".

Yeah... you're in the field... as a patient!

Again, my comment is backed by plenty of medical science. I know, because I am studying this, and it's super easy to find just doing a Google search. There are a ton of academic papers on this.

Here is just one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656602005056

Whoever you are, you're a shining example of what is bad about social media, and you're exactly the kind of person that I was talking about in this tread. May you never hold any power over anyone.

Ah... so I struck a nerve. Maybe I found one in the wild?

This isn't personal to you, so don't take offense. If you do belong to this group, I'm sorry to say, you're not well. If you don't, I don't know why you're trying to deny that this is real science. It's not hard to verify for anyone who does simple research. Heck, you could go to a public library and find plenty of scientific sources.

For everyone else reading this, Cluster B: A person with this type has difficulties regulating their emotions and behavior. Others may consider their behavior dramatic, emotional, or erratic. There are four cluster B disorders: antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders.

You can find sources everywhere, but here is where I grabbed the above: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320508#:~:text=Cluster B%3A A person with,histrionic%2C and narcissistic personality disorders.

This is the dark triad I was talking about. I believe that people with this disorder should never be allowed to hold any positions of power whatsoever. They have proven to be too dangerous. If you read about the symptoms, it's pretty easy to understand why.

I'm describing Cluster B personality disorders. The science is there and it's real. All these people should never be in ANY positions of power or over people. That is my point. They are too dangerous.

I love this comment. You put into words what I've been trying to convey to others. Thank you.

I believe that all concentrations of power are potentially dangerous because you never know into what hands that concentration of power is being put. Too often it's concentrated in the hands of those personality types of the dark triad: narcissists, machiavellians, psychopaths. Those people should never have any authority or control over any human beings, and they should be prohibited from being in powewful positions. They are far too dangerous, and I believe that most of our world problems derive from these personality types.

Ummm... what about his public praise of autocrats?

I almost did myself, but then I looked up the term,and I realized that Linux is exactly that. For me, it's because I thought I knew what the term meant. I thought that it advocated for state owned software, because communism is all about state controlled property.

So, I was wrong.

This was a good read. Very interesting! I highly recommend it. It gives a compelling account of the conditions Russian soldiers are facing.

Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.

Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women's right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?

How is this not inciting violence and hatred?

I think that the government isn't moving aggressively on this file because if they did, there would be a massive correction and many landlords would go bankrupt. It would be political suicide.

I think what they are hoping for is that the correction will happen organically and gradually so that they are not blamed for the fallout and so that the impact is diminished. The problem is, I don't think that people can hold out and regardless, there will be some pain for all groups. The damage is already done, and fixing this will be painful.

Lol... you just proved my point. I never said it was a fact. It would be hard to quantify, but it could be done.

You're right. You just proved my point. It's my opinion. 😁

A large segment of the population don't understand the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a belief.

I'm a federal public servant, and I can tell you that in the 28 years I've been in government, this kind of leadership is very common. There's no accountability because there's nothing that really can be done in the current system. There would have to be a serious overhaul in how government manages poor performance, particularly when it comes to executives.

The Canadian tax payer is the bag holder here.

How about ignitable instead.

The world is REALLY sick of the USA's bullshit.

Yep... every time.

I think the real danger is Trump winning... or getting so close that the election is a toss-up... or very close to that. I worry that the results will be thrown into question and that will tear America apart.

What would you expect to happen when extreme right-wing, elitist messaging is encouraged from a self-absorbed, misogynistic lunatic.
