Her kan du lese en meget god artikkel fra Den norske legeforening som tar for seg psykopati og paranoide vrangforestillnger hos personer med makt, men som dessverre ikke tar opp patologiske ledere i demokratier der befolkningen tror det beste om styresmaktene, og har liten eller ingen kunnskap om slike personlighetsforstyrrelser.
Med slik ledere som klarer å holde sine skavanker skjult, så vil et demokrati og en velferdstat smuldre opp innenifra, og befolkningen vil ikke forstå hva som skjer før det er for seint. Og dette utfolder seg faktisk rett foran øynene våre her og nå.
Det finnes heller nesten ingen psykologer eller sosiologer som forstår denne problematikken, noe som er mildt sagt skremmende.
Det er to særdeles gode bøker som tar opp nettopp dette som alle samfunnsengasjerte individer burde lese, den ene er Political ponerology, og den andre er Disordered minds – how dangerous personalities are destroying democracy.
Og her finner du et uttdrag fra boken Poltical ponerology av Andrew M. Lobaczewski, som vil gjøre deg i stand til å forstå tiden vi nå lever i og hvorfor så mange vrangforestillinger blir sett på som normale og vettuge:
“If an individual with a highly contagious illness works in a job that puts them in contact with the public, an epidemic is the result. In the same way, if an individual in a position of political power is a psychopath, he or she can create an epidemic of psychopathology in people who are not essentially psychopathic.
During “good” times, the search for truth becomes uncomfortable because it reveals inconvenient facts. It is better to think about easier and more pleasant things. Unconscious elimination of data which are, or appear to be, inexpedient gradually turns into habit, and then becomes a custom accepted by society at large. The problem is that any thought process based on such truncated information cannot possibly give rise to correct conclusions; it further leads to subconscious substitution of inconvenient premises by more convenient ones, thereby approaching the boundaries of psychopathology.
Such contented periods for one group of people – often rooted in some injustice to other people or nations – start to strangle the capacity for individual and societal consciousness; subconscious factors take over a decisive role in life. Such a society, already infected by the hysteroidal state, considers any perception of uncomfortable truth to be a sign of “ill- breeding”. J. G. Herder’s iceberg is drowned in a sea of falsi- fied unconsciousness; only the tip of the iceberg is visible above the waves of life.
Catastrophe waits in the wings. In such times, the capacity for logical and disciplined thought, born of necessity during difficult times, begins to fade. When commu- nities lose the capacity for psychological reason and moral criticism, the processes of the generation of evil are intensified at every social scale, whether individual or macrosocial, until everything reverts to “bad” times.
We already know that every society contains a certain per- centage of people carrying psychological deviations caused by various inherited or acquired factors which produce anomalies in perception, thought, and character. Many such people at- tempt to impart meaning to their deviant lives by means of social hyperactivity.
They create their own myths and ideolo- gies of overcompensation and have the tendency to egotistically insinuate to others that their own deviant perceptions and the resulting goals and ideas are superior.
When a few generations’ worth of “good-time” insouciance results in societal deficit regarding psychological skill and moral criticism, this paves the way for pathological plotters, snake-charmers, and even more primitive impostors to act and merge into the processes of the origination of evil. They are essential factors in its synthesis.
Those times which many people later recall as the “good old days” thus provide fertile soil for future tragedy because of the progressive devolution of moral, intellectual, and personality values which give rise to Rasputin-like eras.
One of the most disturbing things about psychopaths that normal people must deal with is the fact that they very early learn how their personalities can have traumatizing effects on the personalities of those normal people, and how to take ad- vantage of this root of terror for purposes of reaching their goals. This dichotomy of worlds is permanent and does not disappear even if they succeed in realizing their youthful dream of gaining power over the society of normal people. This strongly suggests that the separation is biologically condi- tioned.
In the psychopath, a dream emerges like some Utopia of a “happy” world and a social system which does not reject them or force them to submit to laws and customs whose meaning is incomprehensible to them. They dream of a world in which their simple and radical way of experiencing and perceiving reality would dominate; where they would, of course, be as- sured safety and prosperity.
In this Utopian dream, they imagine that those “others”, different, but also more technically skillful than they are, should be put to work to achieve this goal for the psychopaths and others of their kin. “We”, they say, “after all, will create a new government, one of justice”. They are prepared to fight and to suffer for the sake of such a brave new world, and also, of course, to inflict suffering upon others. Such a vision justifies killing people, whose suffering does not move them to compassion because “they” are not quite con- specific. They do not realize that they will consequently meet with opposition which can last for generations.
Subordinating a normal person to psychologically abnormal individuals has severe and deforming effects on his or her per- sonality: it engenders trauma and neurosis. This is accom- plished in a manner which generally evades conscious controls. Such a situation deprives the person of his natural rights: to practice his own mental hygiene, develop a sufficiently autonomous personality, and utilize his common sense. In the light of natural law, it thus constitutes a kind of crime – which can appear at any social scale, in any context – although it is not mentioned in any code of law.
Pathological egotism derives from repressing from one’s field of consciousness any objectionable, self-critical associa- tions referring to one’s own nature or normality. Dramatic question such as “who is abnormal here, me or this world of people who feel and think differently?” are answered in the world’s disfavor.
Pathological egotism is a constant component of variegated states wherein someone who appears to be normal (although he is in fact not quite so) is driven by motivations or battles for goals a normal person con- siders unrealistic or unlikely.
Paramoralisms: The conviction that moral values exist and that some actions violate moral rules is so common and ancient a phenomenon that it seems to have some substratum at man’s instinctive endowment level (although it is certainly not totally adequate for moral truth), and that it does not only represent centuries’ of experience, culture, religion, and socialization. Thus, any insinuation framed in moral slogans is always sug-gestive, even if the “moral” criteria used are just an “ad hoc” invention. Any act can thus be proved to be immoral or moral by means of such paramoralisms utilized as active suggestion, and people whose minds will succumb to such reasoning can always be found.
Paramoralism somehow cunningly evades the control of our common sense, sometimes leading to acceptance or approval of behavior that is openly pathological.
Paramoralistic statements and suggestions so often accom- pany various kinds of evil that they seem quite irreplaceable. Unfortunately, it has become a frequent phenomenon for indi- viduals, oppressive groups, or patho-political systems to invent ever-new moral criteria for someone’s convenience. Such sug- gestions often partially deprive people of their moral reasoning and deform its development in youngsters. Paramoralism facto- ries have been founded worldwide, and a ponerologist finds it hard to believe that they are managed by psychologically nor- mal people.”
