PART 1 - Bad Guy/Good Guy attributes
I posted these points way back in the CBTS/thestorm breads and after a while, each time they went missing or were deleted. You will be able to see why. They give very specific points to look for when determining who is a good guy and who is a bad guy. When viewing the 'How to spot a bad guy' info, read it with a view to what has been happening with the people in the Democratic party (and other bad actors you may remember).
Be ware that the comparison between the 'How to spot the good guys' and 'How to spot the bad guys' list is necessary so that witch hunts do not occur against the good guys.
One sure way to know where you fall is that if you spot some of the tendencies in yourself from the bad guy list know that you are definitely not a bad guy!!
With that in mind here is the How to Spot the Bad Guys list (Good Guys list to follow):
The anti-social personality (the Bad Guy) has the following attributes:
-
He or she speaks only in very broad generalities. 'They say…', 'Everybody thinks…', 'Everyone knows…', and such expressions are in continual use, particularly when imparting rumor. When asked, 'Who is everybody…? it normally turns out to be one source and from this source the anti-social person has manufactured what he or she pretends is the whole opinion of the whole society. This is natural to them since to them all society is a large hostile generality, against the anti-social in particular.
-
Such a person deals mainly in bad news, critical or hostile remarks, invalidation and general suppression. Gossip or harbinger of evil tidings or rumormonger once described such persons. It is notable that there is no good news or complimentary remark passed on by such a person.
-
The anti-social personality alters, to worsen, communication when he or she relays a message or news. Good news is stopped and only bad news, often embellished, is passed along. Such a person also pretends to pass on bad news which is in actual fact invented.
-
A characteristic, and one of the sad things about an anti-social personality, is that it does not respond to treatment or reform or psychotherapy.
-
Surrounding such a personality we find cowed or ill associates or friends who, when not driven actually insane, are yet behaving in a crippled manner in life, failing, not succeeding. Such people make trouble for others. When treated or educated, the near associate of the anti-social personality has no stability of gain but promptly relapses or loses his advantages of knowledge, being under the suppressive influence of the other. Physically treated, such associates commonly do not recover in the expected time but worsen and have poor convalescence�s. It is quite useless to treat or help or train such persons so long as they remain under the influence of the anti-social connection. The largest number of insane are insane because of such anti-social connections and do not recover easily for the same reason. Unjustly we seldom see the anti-social personality actually in an institution. Only his friends and family are there.
-
The anti-social personality habitually selects the wrong target. If a tyre is flat from driving over nails, he or she curses a companion or a non-causative source of the trouble. If the radio next door is too loud, he or she kicks the cat. If A is the obvious cause, the anti-social personality inevitably blames B, or C or D.
-
The anti-social cannot finish a cycle of action. Such become surrounded with incomplete projects.
-
Many anti-social persons will freely confess to the most alarming crimes when forced to do so, but will have no faintest sense of responsibility for them. Their actions have little or nothing to do with their own volition. Things 'just happened'. They have no sense of correct causation and particularly cannot feel any sense of remorse or shame therefore.
-
The anti-social personality supports only destructive groups and rages against and attacks any constructive or betterment group.
-
This type of personality approves only of destructive actions and fights against constructive or helpful actions or activities. The artist in particular is often found as a magnet for persons with anti-social personalities who see in his art something which must be destroyed and covertly, 'as a friend', proceed to try.
-
Helping others is an activity which drives the anti-social personality nearly berserk. Activities, however, which destroy in the name of help are closely supported.
-
The anti-social personality has a bad sense of property and conceives that the idea that anyone owns anything is a pretense made up to fool people. Nothing is ever really owned.
