Statistically there are always people that try to find entertainment in others misery. Expect a base rate of 1:10 sociopaths, 1:100 psychopaths, and 1:5000 in active psychosis. Those groups covert narcissism means any perceived slight to their ego is never forgiven, and they often try whatever scheme they think they can get away with... The funny part is often at trial these people are honestly shocked their world theory doesn't hold up under community laws.

However, expecting other people to accept personal behavioral choices is also ethically a big ask of society. In some ways, honesty is less insulting than disingenuous sycophancy, or demanding people change to suit your preferences.

One must accept there are bears in the woods, lions on the plains, and poisonous snakes in the grass. Have a great day =3

It's not lions on the planes, it's snakes. Lions are on plains.

After all, you're explicitly restricted from bringing large Li-ions on planes!

psychopathy and sociopathy are the same pathology.. they cannot have different occurrence rates. You have obviously no idea what you're talking about. I didn't read the rest of your comment (because why would I?)

		Depends when you attended classes, and how you defined the antisocial behavioral spectra. In some ways, the >DSM-5 muddled a lot of disorder definitions to better cover more complex diagnosis under the US healthcare system. >they cannot have different occurrence rates I can see how one might reason this to be true, but that is just not consistent with the data collected over the past hundred years. Psychopaths are born that way, and often start harming pets or other kids very early in life. The Internet just supplied an ecosystem to normalize parasitic behavior, and satiate their demanding egos. Even when proven wrong, they often still insult people during an attempt to apologize. Have a wonderful day =3

		The most common (layperson) use for the terms I see is that sociopaths are psychopaths who know how to behave themselves. That leads to an obvious difference in occurrence rates.
