    Worked at a company like that once, the boss was just like Putin. Anyone disagreed or didn’t want to work a holiday then they suddenly found their employment terminated. Such fragile egos on these types.

      Turns out there’s an extreme amount of psychological overlap between authoritarianism, narcissism, and “toxic masculinity” — empathetic deficiencies are a characteristic of sociopathy/psychopathy.

      So much so that I wouldn’t be surprised if political divides are primarily due to where you fall in the spectrum of empathy, and why conservatives support and cheer for the cruelty these people cause, up until the moment the trauma is inflicted on them personally
