Are you having some psychotic episode? please don’t use psychotic as a pejorative. please stop using ableist rhetoric. constructing a dichotomy between “manipulative sociopaths” and “honest intelligent people” is a moral argument. you are literally casting one of these groups as not people. you are nitpicking my assertion that saying someone is not a person is interchangeable with calling them evil. this is not an important part of what i said. if it helps, you will reread my comment and replace ‘evil’ with ‘not a person’ and then respond to that.
