    Well, no matter their psychological qualities or lack there of, it is the accumulation inherent to capitalism that is the core of the problem, not a bad choice of elite personnel.

    Hey look it’s an ableist slur. I’m sure this leftist community is going to be very mature and responsible and take the post down, and not start an argument that using slurs is okay actually

      Nice fascist division tactic.

      The point of using psychopath as a derogatory term is legit but it is very obvious that this is not the reason of this comment.

        I mean fundamentally who gives a shit this is an internet forum not real life, but if you see some one acting like this in real life be suspicious.

        Okay, then you go ahead and make a top level comment arguing the point in a way you find acceptable. I just want to see the slur removed, I don’t care who gets the credit. If you don’t like me doing it, do it yourself.

          The way you say this makes me think you actually meant to point out you disliked the slur -while using sarcastic, derogatory, generalizations.

          Do you see that this is not the way to do it or do I need to point it out to you?

          In any case, nobody here cares about credit or you in particular doing anything. The assumptions show a misunderstanding.

          If you’re actually interested in people not using an ableist slur, feel free to help make anti ableist education. Lemmy is a great place for that as leftists indeed are the people who actually care not to shit on people in general.

          I work on anti ableist groups. Feel free to help. You can dm me if that is important to you.

          In this case, you could have just asked “can we please do away with the ableist slur and use this instead?” Or “please dont use ableist slurs” that would not have sounded like some fascist troll.

      Psychopathy, or psychopathic personality, is a personality construct characterized by impaired empathy and remorse, along with bold, disinhibited, and egocentric traits. These traits are often masked by superficial charm and immunity to stress, which create an outward appearance of apparent normalcy.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy

      Is it a slur when it’s being accurately used to describe a personality type and isn’t even a real disorder?

        It’s Greek for “suffering soul”. It just means mental illness, up until it was used as a slur for people with ASPD. Trying to redefine it as a “personality construct” - etymologically, the construct of having a sick head - is dangerous and irresponsible pseudoscience.

      Yes please let’s get mad at each other for the language people use because that definitely isn’t a disruption tactic that cops would use to divide and discredit a movement, also who doesn’t love being policed for what they say? Also let’s get mad at fucking comedians because that is an effective way to spend your time.
