He didn't write it but it's transcripts of interviews he gave and he gets into some careful self-reflection but all in the third-person because he was still pretending to be innocent.

e.g. the interviewers asked him things like "So the person who did these crimes... what do you think was going through his mind?" and Bundy would give really full answers.

No Plato, no neo-platonism, no Christianity as we know it.

It would be funny to see how Europe would stand the test of time if there weren't any dominant ideological doctrine.

OP, although Bret Easton Ellis is not known to be a sociopath, his novel "American Psycho" can certainly fall into the sociopath category.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
It was her only novel and she was in a depression while writing it, which most people believe lead to the creation of the story, which is about a depressed and insane woman. She killed herself the year it was published. Tis a really good book.

I think it would be really hard for a sociopath to write relateable and engaging characters.

>> No.1765275

>>1765147
Yes.

Her(?) goal is not to convince anybody about the right(y)ness (lol Colbert) of her(?) agenda, she only bashes the proclaimed opposite(s) of it. Someone told me once that neoconservativism has pretty much become a reactionary movement but the trick is that it tries to convince people that it's actually irrespective of any opposing ideologies. Now Coulter doesn't even bother playing this trick. She's like, "fuck it, I take every liberal stereotype, write it down from an opposing standpoint and call it a day, Foxheads will buy it anyway". Essentially she's creating a parody of conservative "values". So yeah, that's the point, it cannot be decided if she is thumping the Bible or burning it.
