Dark triad traits surface on this forum with some regularity.
This is how they show up in workplaces with credentialed staff:
+ Public humiliation of victims
+ Intentional isolation of victims
+ Smear campaigns against victims
+ Encourages others to torment, harass, alienate, and/or humiliate victims
+ Sabotage victims
+ Invades personal privacy of victims (feeds into other techniques)
In broad strokes, these people can be identified through their use of social violence and deception. Whether their internal state of mind conforms to some pathology template is almost irrelevant.
Exactly. This is scary stuff that leads to the government controlling behavior as opposed to a baseline of rules to protect individuals.
We have seen throughout history that fascism and other forms of totalitarian governments base their foundation upon this type of strict “no broken windows” style of behavior control.
Another popular technique for these types of regimes is changing the definition of words.
I would strongly encourage you to look into the rise of fascism in the first half of the twentieth century. Recently fascism is more closely associated with nationalist and racist groups. But this was very different a hundred years ago when these ideas were first gaining large acceptance.
I didn't see the connection between the article and fascism. Maybe if mental health was a priority then individuals wouldn't be as susceptible to fascism or other control systems that prey on peoples' vulnerabilities and insecurities.
