Governance by Sociopaths vs Sane Governance.

(This is my backhanded comment on the Virginia Governor's Race)

Bond Robin, speaking in November of 2015, in response to a philosophical anarchist who believes that every leader (or politician) is a sociopath because they desire to control others. This label applied to Vladimir Putin, since he is viewed as a very effective leader.

Steven Parrot wrote: I respect Putin, but nevertheless, as a political leader, he is a sociopath. All politicians are sociopaths at some level. Desire to rule others, to control others makes them sociopaths. So my question is, how does Putin fare towards Russians? What do the Russian people think of him?

I responded to Steven taking his premise to its absurd conclusion. Sophisms are exposed by accepting the idea and running with it, extrapolating to its absurd and, most times, inhuman conclusions. 

I said: 

He is as popular as Joseph Stalin, which says a lot because Joseph Stalin was very popular; he saved Russia in the Great War. Without his leadership Russia, today would not exist as Russia. But really, that comparison proves little to nothing since Stalin was the dictator of a Totalitarian State and mass murderer of epic proportions, and Putin is the moral leader of the Constitutional Republic. 

By your lame theory, everyone who desires to raise a child, every patriarch or matriarch of an extended family, every priest and clergyman who works to have a good effect and influence in the lives of others is a sociopath also. It would make Jesus Christ the greatest sociopath in history. 

Your position is that of an anarchist who believes in the absolute autonomy of the individual, which is a death-engendering and anti-human philosophy. Humans are naturally communal creatures; Humans care for one another, which at times infringes upon absolute autonomy. That care for biology, survival, and peaceful society, is not always on an equal basis; for instance, parent and child is not an equal relationship. A great challenge to parents and children is adjusting that relation properly as children mature and finally respecting the adult child's rightful autonomy. Failure to keep this proper balance sickens adult relationships between parents and adult children and often destroys those relationships. The proper relationship between humans is that which best preserves life, best preserves the individual's natural rights, and best serves to protect and propagate humanity in general. 

Participation in Good Governance, no matter what form the government takes, is a humanitarian act. Participation in Bad Governance, no matter what form the government takes, is an act of humanism, or some such other failure of moral philosophy. Now, it is a fact that a good person can serve in a bad government and possibly modify the evil of that bad government, but the examples are few and far between. Or maybe unknown to us, they are many just unknown to us. The record appears to prove that most end up compromised and corrupted by the very evil they have sworn to battle. 

Now, as to what good governance is vs. bad governance, the answer is quite simple. Do the people flourish? or Do the people languish? The Russian people at this point in history are flourishing after a long period of languishing. The American people languish by every known measure, after a long period of flourishing. In fact, languish is a mild word for the degrading of our institutions, public health, public life, and even public safety, which is maintained only by a high percentage of incarceration, the destruction of the family, and the insane social and medical experimentation by psychopaths (not sociopaths); these psychopaths seen as "experts" in our socio-political structure. 

(Note how prophetic these words were, exposing the true situation then, which has grown blatantly obvious these six years later.)

And for the anarchist who believes in radical autonomy, it should be noted that the more moral the governance, the greater autonomy is experienced by the largest numbers. The more immoral or amoral the governance is, the least autonomy is experienced. There is no autonomy left in the U.S., and by mental manipulation accomplished by the psychopathic "experts" in our socio-political structure, people are too hypnotized to know it.

*Note, the physical assault on the American people and the people of the world in the form of mandated nanotechnology gene-altering by the national and globalist state, has awakened a lot of people to the fact that they were hypnotized to the fundamental nature of our Malthusian, Luciferian Government for a long time.
