Sadism.

Yeah.

Hard to get ones head around.

Ultimately it's a kind of stupidity or foolishness.

The psychology of narcissism (and "cluster b" / dark triad / dark tetrad, etc), should be a class availed and encouraged for all neurodivergent people. ... All people really. But especially us.

I understand it very well, and despise it. I think sadists should be isolated to rule other sadists, so they can make an example of themselves.
