So, socio/psychopathy. You know, what capitalism extols as a virtue, rewards and what the hellscapes create.

No. That is a way of making it seem like a distant thing that has no relation to you. That is a lie you tell yourself for your own comfort.

Everyone suspends their empathy when it is convenient. I guarantee you have already done it today. You have decades of practice doing it to animals, and when the time comes that you need to do it to a human, you will know exactly how its done. No sociopathy required.
