Comment on If Biden wanted to could he have people kill Trump since he is in office and SCOTUS said it was ok?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 months agoDid you even read my comment before posting 9 paragraphs? I didn’t say it was batshit insane to claim that there are sociopathic teachers. I said it was batshit insane to compare the rates of sociopathy in teachers to the rates among politicians, ceo’s, and police. Which it is.
You’ve clearly not read any of mine.
This is now the third time that I’ve explained why people are “lumped in” on that list. And that is that everyone on that list exerts control, or strong influence over other people. (Cops and politicians, the general public. CEO’s their employees, and the public that interacts with their company or is impacted by it, Teachers… their students.)
That is the thread which lumps them together. Having that authority over others is possibly what attracts psychopaths/sociopaths/NPD types to jobs like being a cop, being a politician, or pastor or CEO. Or, possibly, yes, being a teacher.
You’ll also notice, that that list of careers only really includes the sorts of jobs that are- or have historically been- viewed in a positive light. As honorable, or ‘pillars of the community’. I’m guessing you would generally describe teachers as “selfless” and “caring”, maybe even “highly empathic”; but, uhm. not to put too fine a point on it, before his arrest Dennis Rader would have been described exactly as that. he was a Church President, a Boy Scout Leader, and an AF vet. Of the people that knew him, it was almost impossible to believe that Dennis Rader was the BTK killer.
So yes. I would be very interested to see a study that looks at teachers and how many are psychopaths; as well as everyone else on that list. I’m going to assume teachers fall somewhere above a baseline of the rest of the population; and somewhere below the other professions on the list. I suggested Librarians as a sort of control group, because they also happen to be a career path that people look at as largely positive or honorable; but lacks any real authority over others.

I feel pretty confident in saying that your assertion is wrong, and insane lol

So I’m crazy.
Good to know you won’t actually respond to the thing I’ve said four times and instead continue with personal attacks.
Yeah, repeating the same thing and expecting something different … I can see that. Cheers.

Why would I engage? I obviously find your premise insane. Additionally, you have misstated my SHORT comments several times. I never called you insane, I said the argument is insane. Which it is.
