Revenge against those who have done wrong by you is not only personally satisfying, it’s an effective social strategy for dealing with assorted sociopaths and psychopaths.
Case in point: Yer ever-so-‘umble narrator was proven right once again when I mused that Trump’s rumored consideration of Mitt Romney for Secretary of State was nothing less than a public humiliation spectacle of a traitor who tried to derail the Trump Train.
WELP, Roger Stone says the intent of Trump’s interview of Romney was to “torture” him.
Stone called Romney a “choker” and said that Trump was simply toying with him.
“Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State in order to torture him,” Stone claimed on the program. “To toy with him. And given the history, that’s completely understandable. Mitt Romney crossed a line. He didn’t just oppose Trump, which is his democratic right, he called him a phony and a fraud. And a con man. And that’s not the kind of man you want as Secretary of State.”
2016 has delivered a cornucopia of WINNING photo memes, but this one, of Romney and Trump sitting at a private restaurant table presumably discussing Romney’s fit as a possible SoS Cabinet member, is in my top ten list of visual shivs.

Romney looks like he pissed his magic underwear. And Trump…..well, that’s the face of a mischievous boy who just pulled a fast one on the school principal. Truly a photo worth savoring.
Revenge as a tool to manage psychopaths is a novel interpretation of this behavioral trait. Trevor Goodchild explains,
Trump has repeatedly written in his books regarding public revenge and how he personally engages in it. While viscerally satisfying, it’s also master game theory. When dealing with sociopaths and psychopaths (as he has throughout his entire career), one fundamental truism is that their word means absolutely nothing. Pathologic lying is actually one of their tells, although some can keep it under wraps. So how can you close deals (or win an election) while having to work with and in some cases depend on such creatures? Knowing that they would benefit more in the short term by selling you out? It’s the prisoner’s dilemma all over again.
The solution: delayed punishment. Public humiliation. Revenge.
The most successful strategy to overcome the prisoners dilemma is tit-for-tat; you never initiate a screwjob, but always remember the people who have screwed you, and make a point to get even (while making sure everyone knows about it). This is one of the keys to The Golden Don’s success; far from being flighty or unstable, he’s very likely one of the most rational actors to step into the White House in a long time. This doesn’t make him predictable, but it does make him a world leader that others can trust to actually honor negotiations. Something that’s been seriously missing from the US for the last 8 years.
Revenge, especially publicly exhibited revenge, is a targeted form of social shaming, and those who are high in the Dark Triad traits — Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy — are particularly vulnerable to the threat of suffering the vengeful wrath of one of their victims. The narcissist especially fears nothing like a public humiliation that exposes the dimness of his glowing self-conception to the jeers of the crowd.
As a NYC real estate magnate, Trump has had to deal with a condensed collection of the world’s worst high-functioning psychos. The political world must have felt like more of the same bullshit to him, and his familiarity handling backstabbers and sniveling cunts like Romney prepared him to 1. crush the GOPe 2. crush the media and finally 3. crush the clinton corruption machine.
It’s fortunate that Trump is on the side of the Light. He’d make a formidable foe working for the open borders sleaze team.



Freelance Comment Of The Week: Enforced Consent
Dec 9th, 2016 by CH
Twatterer whalefish had some great commentary on the nature of media-manufactured consent, and how it has had to change into something much more nefarious to adapt to the emergence of the internet and the alt-right.
The leftoid equalist megaphone monopoly power needed a gestation period — say, most of the 20th Century — to consolidate its reach and influence over public opinion and government policy. The Equalist anti-White Narrative (self-contradicting, but that’s the point) couldn’t achieve its breadth of propaganda control if it had assaulted the public mind from the get-go. It needed, as whalefish notes, the cover of “free market” thought-stoppage to lull skeptics into gradually yielding to the Narrative megalith.
But now that the Equalist anti-White Narrative monopoly over information and opinion is breaking apart (and much faster than even I — the Wielder of the Shimmering Shiv of Shibboleth Smashing — had anticipated), the leftoid media monopoly has caught a whiff of, for the first time in ages, its demise. Desperation and panic rush through the legacy media ranks, discipline is lost, and their Narrative shatters into a jumble of confused, chaotic, slapdash counter-maneuvers against a resourceful, cunning enemy far more dangerous than any the hivemind has faced since their coming out party in the late 1960s.
“Fake news” is the latest, and most transparently desperate, Narrative-shoring ploy by the media to beat back the rebel alliance high T-fighters about to drop a broton bomb down their shemale exhaust shaft. The barbarians are at the information gates, and all the besieged occupants can muster is the equivalent of the Chewbacca defense (“ladies and gentlemen of the jury….Chewbacca!”).
Like whalefish ominously observes, what this last hail mary strategy by the media monopoly intent on keeping its power amounts to is enforced consent — we have moved from the “planned economy” stage of media manipulation of public opinion to the “kulak extermination stage”, and dissidents from the leftoid equalist orthodoxy will be literally shamed from the marketplace of ideas by a concerted and coordinated attack of weaponized vilification rhetoric.
The dissident realtalkers won’t be defeated by this, because they gained their power by refusing to bend the knee to the leftoid hatemachine, unlike their cuck forebears who never saw a cowardly posture of impotence they didn’t happily assume.
