We don't need to call these so called high agency males "girls" or "gay" or "children" when they behave like depraved sociopaths. We don't need to weaponize marginalized people just because they do.

Maybe if we don’t wanna weaponize marginalized people we ALSO shouldn’t call them sociopaths??? Like congrats on unlearning your sexism and homophobia, how about the ableism next?
tbh i see your argument but the OP said "behave like deranged sociopaths"
I took the "behave like" and "deranged" as qualifiers to mean not every sociopath but a subset of people who exhibit anti-social behavior shouldn't be in charge of our social structures.
I can see how you’d have that interpretation! My simple test to see if it stands up to par is to replace it with a more well-accepted disorder and see if the phrase still stands.
For example, I’m sure a lot of people would take issue with the phrase “behaving like a deranged autist” despite the-
I appreciate your reply, and it definitely gives me more to think about.
My internal bias may be the traits of a sociopath feel diametrically opposed to the traits required to be an empathic political leader to constituents of all backgrounds.
but thats probably also due to social conditioning
I think there’s an overemphasis on empathy when it comes to making decisions. It’s possible to consider a persons best interests without necessarily FEELING for them. But I understand where you’re coming from, and there is a lot of misinformation out there.
And even if you did diagnosis them, what would be the purpose of blaming their bad behaviour on an uncontrollable personality disorder that plenty of innocents share?
The formal diagnosis is ASPD, but it means the same thing.
Furthermore, you don’t need every single symptom to qualify for a diagnosis. Impulsivity, lack of empathy, and even aggression don’t necessarily make for a bad person.
But I see you want to die on the “all sociopaths are evil” hill so…
Perfect articulation. Cringed when AOC said the girls are fighting…
No. Just call it what it is. 2 psychos who are wielding power they in ZERO WAY deserve, arguing over who can extort who more. It’s embarrassing. It’s gross. And what a terrible reflection of some of society.
I did not know she said that. I wasn't referring to her. I think women have the right to say it tho. And even though AOC, a person I have never met interacted with, has me blocked for reasons that escape me, I still support and agree with most of her stances and comments.
Thank you. This has been bothering me. Jonathan Joss was murdered this month while the killer yelled homophobic slurs at him and husband. This is after the neighborhood burned his house down, stole the fireproof safe, and killed their dogs. Being gay isn’t a joke or an insult. 1/2
And then the calling them women or girls thing when women have been pitted against each other for survival for centuries. Despite me starting wars and being the leading perpetrators in almost all violent crimes, arguing and being emotional still gets trivialized as being a feminine trait.

My view is open to change though

I rationalize it by thinking of the security of others, but something feels not 100% congruent in that.

it's why you only ever "help" by making sure everyone else knows how morally superior you are
you're literally weaponizing marginalized people right now to tell people how they should express themselves lmao
the problem is that not every marginalized population thinks the exact same way
which is obvious to everyone that isn't a fucking bigot
what I hear from some conflicts with what I hear from others
It's impossible to just "defer to minorities" when they all have different takes
so they try to create these insulated, divisive voices that can't be questioned by real white activists
but idgaf about all that
y'all are scummy as hell
It's like watching a dudes pants repeatedly falling down.
