Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Its the typical charisma of certain psychological conditions. People with no actual empathy can of course play their role with less distractions and dont have to worry if others will suffer because of their lies. Its a cruel game.

Most of American society encourages sociopathic behavior under the guise of calvinist principle

To be fair. Capitalism does that systematically. But the detailed view makes sense as there are people who are exceedingly good at this. Like "naturals" which are really scary people. Thats imo what elmo, jeff and bill are like. They project an image of the father figure but they would nuke the world if it made them more profit.

The average person actually believes in the fake liberalist moral framework that fighting for womens rights for exmaple is good on its own (or any minority) which it isnt. Its just relative to other minorities which makes it hunger games.

But a "natural" (i'll leave diagnoses out) will have no problem with seeing the cruelty and embracing it. I get goosebumps by thinking about it.
