Much too common is the pattern of error which reasons that purportedly autocratic leaders of countries affected by this strange phenomenon possess decision-making powers in areas which they in fact do not. {Here, he's talking about a pathological dictator. What does one do when the entire ruling class across the globe is psychopathic?} Millions of people, including ministers and members of parliaments, ponder the dilemma of whether such a ruler {or ruling class and system} could not, under certain circumstances, modify his convictions somewhat and relinquish his dreams of conquering the world; they do not even abandon hope that this will be the eventual outcome. People with personal experience in such a system attempt to persuade them that their dreams, although decent, lack a foundation in reality.... only an objective comprehension of the phenomenon permits light to be shed upon the causes of the perennial deceitfulness of this macrosocial pathological phenomenon.
The actions of this phenomenon affect an entire society, starting with the leaders and infiltrating every village, small town, factory, or collective farm. The pathological social structure gradually covers the entire country, creating a “new class” within that nation. This privileged class feels permanently threatened by the “others”, i.e. by the majority of normal people. Neither do the pathocrats entertain any illusions about their personal fate should there be a return to the system of normal man.
A normal person deprived of privilege or high positions goes about performing some work which would earn him a living; but pathocrats never possessed any solid practical talent, and the time frame of their rule has eliminated any residual possibilities of adapting to the demands of normal work. If the law of normal man were to be reinstalled, they and theirs could be subjected to judgment, including a moralizing interpretation of their psychological deviations; they would be threatened by a loss of freedom and life, not merely a loss of position and privilege. Since they are incapable of this kind of sacrifice, the survival of a system which is the best for them becomes a moral idea. Such a threat must be battled by means of psychological and political cunning and a lack of scruples with regard to those other “inferior-quality” people.
In general, this new class is in the position to purge its leaders should their behavior jeopardize the existence of such a system. This could occur particularly if the leadership wished to go too far in compromising with the society of normal people, .... Pathocracy survives thanks to the feeling of being threatened by the society of normal people, as well as by other countries wherein various forms of the system of normal man persist. For the rulers, staying on the top is therefore the classic problem of “to be or not to be”.
We can thus formulate a more cautious question: can such a system ever waive territorial and political expansion abroad and settle for its present possessions? What would happen if such a state of affairs ensured internal peace, corresponding order, and relative prosperity within the nation? {As Trump proposes - or claims to propose.} The overwhelming majority of the country’s population would then make skillful use of all the emerging possibilities, taking advantage of their superior qualifications in order to fight for an ever-increasing scope of activities; thanks to their higher birth rate, their power will increase. This majority will be joined by some sons from the privileged class who did not inherit the corresponding genes. The pathocracy’s dominance will weaken imperceptibly but steadily, finally leading to a situation wherein the society of normal people reaches for power. This is a nightmare vision.
The biological, psychological, moral, and economic destruction of this majority is thus a “biological” necessity. Many means serve this end, starting with concentration camps and including warfare with an obstinate, well-armed foe who will devastate and debilitate the human power thrown at him, namely the very power jeopardizing pathocrats rule. Once safely dead, the soldiers will then be decreed heroes to be revered in paeans, useful for raising a new generation faithful to the pathocracy.
Any war waged by a pathocratic nation has two fronts, the internal and the external. The internal front is more important for the leaders and the governing elite, and the internal threat is the deciding factor where unleashing war is concerned. In pondering whether to start a war against the pathocratic country, one must therefore give primary consideration to the fact that one can be used as an executioner of the common people whose increasing power represents incipient jeopardy for the pathocracy. After all, pathocrats give short shrift to blood and suffering of people they consider to be not quite conspecific. ....
Pathocracy has other internal reasons for pursuing expansionism through the use of all means possible. As long as that “other” world governed by the systems of normal man exists, it inducts into and within the strivings of the non-pathological majority, thereby creating a certain sense of direction. The non-pathological majority of the country’s population will never stop dreaming of the reinstallment of the normal man’s system in any possible form. This majority will never stop watching other countries, waiting for the opportune moment; its attention and power must therefore be distracted from this purpose, and the masses must be educated and channeled in the direction of imperialist strivings. This goal must be pursued doggedly so that everyone knows what is being fought for and in whose name harsh discipline and poverty must be endured. The latter factor effectively limits the possibility of “subversive” activities on the part of the society of normal people.
The ideology must of course furnish a corresponding justification for this alleged right to conquer the world and must therefore be properly elaborated. Expansionism is derived from the very nature of pathocracy, not from ideology, but this fact must be masked by ideology. Whenever this phenomenon has been witnessed in history, imperialism was always its most demonstrative quality.
On the other hand, there are countries with normal man’s governments wherein the overwhelming majority of societies shudders to think a similar system could be imposed on them. The governments of such nations thereupon do everything they can within the framework of their possibilities and their understanding of the phenomenon in order to contain its expansion. The citizens of those countries would sigh with relief if some upheaval were to replace this malevolent and incomprehensible system with a more human, more easily understood, governmental method with whom peaceful coexistence would be possible.
Such countries thus undertake various means of action for this purpose, their quality depending on the possibility of understanding that other reality. Such efforts resonate within the country, and the military power of normal man’s countries limits the pathocracy’s possibilities of armed maneuvers. Weakening these countries, especially by utilizing the response pathocracy awakens in some of their citizens, again makes it a matter of such a system’s survival.
Economic factors constitute a non-negligible part of the motivation for this expansionist tendency. Since the managerial functions have been taken over by individuals with mediocre intelligence and pathological character traits, the pathocracy becomes incapable of properly administering anything at all. The area suffering most severely must always be whichever one requires a person to act independently, not wasting time searching for the proper way to behave. Agriculture is dependent upon changing climate conditions and the appearance of pests and plant diseases. A farmer’s personal qualities have thus been an essential factor of success in this area, as it was for many centuries. Pathocracy therefore invariably brings about food shortages.
However, many countries with normal man’s systems abound in sufficiency as far as industrial products are concerned and experience problems with their food surpluses even though there are temporary economic recessions and the citizens are by no means overworked. The temptation to dominate such a country and its prosperity, that perennial imperialist motive, thus becomes even more strong. The collected prosperity of the conquered nation can be exploited for a time, the citizens forced to work harder for paltry remuneration. For the moment, no thought is given to the fact that introducing a pathocratic system within such a country will eventually cause similar unproductive conditions; after all corresponding self-knowledge in this area is nonexistent. Unfortunately, the idea of conquering rich countries also motivates the minds of many poor non-pathological fellows who would like to use this opportunity to grab something for themselves and eat their fill of good food.
As has been the case for centuries, military power is of course the primary means for achieving these ends. Throughout the centuries, though, whenever history has registered the appearance of the phenomenon described herein (regardless of the ideological cloak covering it), specific measures of influence have also become apparent: something in the order of specific intelligence in the service of international intrigue facilitating conquest. This quality is derived from the above-discussed personality characteristics inspiring the overall phenomenon; it should constitute data for historians to identify this type of phenomenon throughout history.
People exist everywhere in the world with specifically susceptible personalities; even a faraway pathocracy evokes a resonating response in them, working on their underlying feeling that “there is a place for people like us there”. Uncritical, frustrated, and abused people also exist everywhere, and they can be reached by appropriately elaborated propaganda. The future of a nation is greatly dependent on how many such people it contains. Thanks to its specific psychological knowledge and its conviction that normal people are naive, a pathocracy is able to improve its “anti-psychotherapeutic” techniques, and pathologically egotistical as usual, to insinuate its deviant world of concepts to others.
The most frequently used methods include paralogistic and conversion methods such as the projection of one’s own qualities and intention onto other persons, social groups, or nations, paramoral indignation, and reverse blocking. This last method is a pathocratic favorite used on the mass scale, driving the minds of average people into a dead end because, as a result, it causes them to search for the truth in the “golden mean” between the reality and its opposite. ....
...if the people and governments of normal man’s countries could.... behave like an experienced psychologist, noting the reproaches heaped upon them in the course of projection and turning around statements whose character indicate reverse blocking. A bit of analytical cosmetics would then produce a low-cost list of a pathocratic empire’s intentions.
Law ...is... an imperfect a creation of human minds.... the law furnishes insufficient support for counteracting a phenomenon whose character lies outside of the possibilities of the legislators’ imagination. Quite the contrary: pathocracy knows how to take advantage of the weaknesses of such a legalistic manner of thinking.
However, this macro-social phenomenon’s internal actions and external expansion are based upon psychological data. As such, regardless of how these data are deformed within the pathocrats’ personalities, its cunning is vastly superior to normal people’s legal systems. This makes pathocracy the social system of the future, albeit in the shape of a caricature. After all, the future belongs to social systems which are based on an improved comprehension of man; evolution in this direction can, among other things, ensure greater resistance to the expansionary methods this macrosocial phenomenon uses in its quest to dominate the world.
