The psychiatric view of psychopathy is that it is a neurological disorder, but that it is not an insanity. That might seem contradictory, but it is not when you consider that to be insane, a person must be judged to be irrational and/or cognitively impaired such that their actions are not based on a generally accepted view of reality.
Breivik is rational, not cognitively impaired and his actions were fully reasoned by him within the same generally accepted view of reality that most of us share.
Partial amen to that, since severe psychopathy can land people in institutions, where they are drugged into less aggressive and destructive mood. There’s the common psychopath, found anywhere, mostly lives and dies unnoticed, and severely screwed up psycho like Breivik.
He knows what are the limits he’s expected never to cross, but he can’t control himself. Sane? No.
Partial amen also because you can’t say that the guy who spent so much time grooming the ideal homoerotic/narcissist version of himself is exactly rational and aware of reality as we perceive it. It’s one thing to play a Crusader on line or in bedroom and something completely else to actually buy weapons and turn an island full of kids into shooting range.
He chose unarmed, underage, unprepared targets to play war and domination on them. Maybe he believes it was a battle in the racial war, but realistically, he projected the image of his enemy onto the target. And he chose kids because that way he was sure he’ll “win” that "battle".
Or his mind was stuck somewhere in puberty, so he’s unaware his opponents should be grownups. Guy used cheat codes in real life. Again, that’s not very mentally healthy.
But don’t get me wrong. Just because I’m convinced his mind is the showcase of how a human mind shouldn’t work, doesn’t mean I think he shouldn’t be put on trial like countless other psychopaths before him.
Being screwed up in the head can’t mean you have a permit to go around destroying actual people and suffer no consequences. Because you're screwed up. Everyone is, in one or another way. But not everyone is
that evil.
Do I know what evil actually is? Can I explain it? No.
Blah blah.
I’m annoying myself already.
Damn b****** wanted attention and I’m giving him the attention. ****.
At least I hope he started to realise what he has done. No, not from his victims' point, he's unable of that, I hope he's not happy with his image created by media and I hope it will get worse. This post is my modest contribution to the real Breivik exposed. Pathetically immature, cowardly egomaniac. Would not touch with 10 foot pole.
