So, considering this is Lemmy I’ll clarify. I’m not talking about your neighbor who voted for Trump or your uncle who’s always been a dick. I’m talking about coming in contact with a deep down evil scary human. I’ve only met one that I can think of. When I was 12 or 13 I spent a ton of time at my best friends house. He lived on a big beautiful rural property with his dad, a few brothers and always one or two random dudes. His dad was a good electrician and a biker. So, he always had friends/associates hanging around. So one day I was staying over for a long weekend and we met a new guy his dad was housing for a week or two. Dude was a real full fledged nazi. Had a swastika under his eye and tats all over most of his body. He was from California I guess. He was “working” with my buddies dad for awhile. Anyway, the main interaction I had with him was when he pulled my friend and I in for a sermon. We were going to go hunt squirrels and do rural kid shit. He stopped us outside and had us sit on the porch. Spent about 20 minutes explaining all the things youd imagine a nazi explains. Moslty about catholics, jews and blacks. My friends dad came out after awhile and told him we didn’t need to hear that shit. He sent us away, but, I never forgot the look this dude had in his eyes. It was like the look of complete bordem mixed with extreme anger all the time.
My parent told me of a family they knew who lived on a farm in their village. All of them were outright monsters. There were only brothers in that family. No daughters. They had barn cats and when they had kittens, they’d crush their skulls in their hands for fun. They loved torturing animals. They were pysically big and they imposed themselves on everyone and everyone was scared shitless of these dudes. One ended up in jail for killing someone early on for some banal reason, and another became a Hell’s Angel motorcycle gang hitman essentially.
In a different kind of pure evil, I’ve always been affraid of Dennis in It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia. He really scares me. No joke. The character is a real psychopath. I’ve met a few people like this in real life. They were the rich successful types. They gave me the fucking creeps. Manipulative, controlling, always working to get what the want and always have the advantage to have power over others.
Wild. That reminds me of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy
It’s an amazing story (emphasis mine):
Haha wow. No one came forward to talk. He was that much of an asshole.
Exactly! 30 to 46 people apparently decided unanimously that he deserved it.
he’s a narcissist, not a psychopath. there is some overlap but dennis isn’t a psychopath.
I don’t know, psychopathic tendencies run all over the Reynolds family.
Lack of empathy, a pattern of manipulating others, persistent antisocial behaviors (the DENNIS system, most of the gang’s plans), an innate immunity to stress (like when he just willed his stress away in the ‘mental health day’ episode)
Man’s a psychopath
