This isn’t the worst example by any means but it’s the available example at the moment.
A local bridge has been out of service for four years during maintenance and upgrading.
= = = = = START DEVIL:
“It’s been a long four years. You know, a couple those years of construction was during COVID,” said Kirstin Davis, the City of Spokane Public Works Communication Manager. “So, you know, that was a little bit of a challenge.”
= = = = = END DEVIL.
No, it wasn’t a challenge. You chose to ruin your own city.
Psychopaths and professional criminals (the mad and the bad) are different in some ways but share one basic tendency. Both of them firmly believe that their evil actions are not decisions. Both will consistently blame an external force for their OWN UNFORCED CHOICES.
CONSTANTS AND VARIABLES!!!!
The decision was NOT forced. Governors in several states did NOT make the same decision, even though the same fake external force was available to them.
Lower-level gangsters often frame a vaguely identified stranger. Some guy named Jake put the drugs in my pants. Lower-level psychopaths blame the voices in their heads.
All of our top-level psychopaths and criminals blame “science” for their decisions to bind and gag and waterboard and murder millions of people for two years.
Top-level gangsters and psychopaths have the resources to develop a long-term propaganda structure around their frames and blames. They can put together a “God” or a “Democracy” that forces them to attack other countries, or a “Science” that forces them to torture and kill millions. Priests obediently build the Attack God, journalists obediently build the Attack Democracy, and academics obediently build the Attack Science.
