[Anonymous No.12652716]

>>12652694
They're all opinions, maybe the book has studies to back them up, but the article does not. Fact, psychopaths are much more likely to be violent. Fact, psychopaths are much more likely to be political extremists. It doesn't mean there aren't benign psychopaths, and it doesn't mean an empathetic person can't be steered in the wrong direction, but based on averages, the psychopath is the much more dangerous person. I don't think anyone is claiming that empathy is good all the time and the solution to everything.

You didn't provide a source, you provided an opinion piece. Fine, here:

>Descriptive statistics and intercorrelations of all measures are shown in Table 1. As can be seen, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were positively associated with political orientation. Moreover, Hofer voters had higher scores in narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, everyday sadism, and political extremism than did Van der Bellen voters, indicating that right-leaning individuals score higher on all aspects of the dark personality. Narcissism and psychopathy were also associated with political extremism.

>Psychopathy, as measured by the PCL-R, has long been documented as a robust indicator in forensic settings of how likely one is to reoffend, (Porter et al. 2001; Salekin et al. 1996), and it is a particularly strong predictor of future violent recidivism (Cornell et al. 1996; Harris et al. 1991; Porter et al. 2009). Indeed, research has indicated that within one year of release from prison psychopaths are about 4–6 times more likely to commit another violent crime than are non-psychopaths (Hemphill et al. 1998). Estimates are fairly consistent across studies: within 10 years after release over 70% of psychopaths (with a history of violence) commit another violent offense, and 20 year follow-ups indicate that as many as 90% of psychopaths (with a history of violence) will be re-arrested for violent crimes. In contrast, the average non-psychopathic violent offender appears to have a risk for violent recidivism around 40% (Hare et al. 2000; Harris et al. 1991; Hemphill et al. 1998; Rice and Harris 1997). Furthermore, analyses of the actual crimes committed by psychopaths suggest a heightened severity and gratuitous nature to their violent acts (Porter et al. 2003).

The take-away you are supposed to infer is that conservatives are psychopaths.
It's a leftist dog-whistle to ironically encourage bias and violence against conservatives.

A link between:
1) psychopathic traits
2) antisocial tendencies
3) support for group violence

1 causes 2
2 correlates with 3

"political radicalization" is claimed to correlate to "lack (of) consideration for others wellbeing"
No mechanism of causality for this is proposed.
No connection to the more inflammatory labels discussed are presented.

Basically the headline only claims that "people who do not care about you, do not care about you".

My criticism would be to point out that it is misleading to use all those strong inflammatory labels to say so little.
