>>12283628Sociopathy is a very vague term basically describing people who employ machiavellian philosophy.
It's basically a meme because it doesn't actually describe anything.
Psychopathy is induced by physical brain damage.
You will immediately know something is wrong with the individual, just may not know what.
If a person consistently decides to harm people for literally no motive:
>no ideological motive (not racial-based, sex-based, nation-based, class-based, ect.)>no practical motive (no financial or material gain, not used as practice for some real event, ect.)>no revenge-based motive (not personal, has never met the victim before, ect.)Then it is a clear case of psychopathy.
Basically if the person decides to get up in front of a room and starts yelling how everyone looks like shit except for themselves, ask yourself if this is temporary or local behavior or if it is permanent and global behavior. If it's the latter, they simply have innate brain damage - There was no cause to their aggression, it simply preexists.
I guess the best analogy is imagine someone from /b/ shitposting gore and trying to enrage people. That individual is likely a child trying to temporarily displace their anger. Now imagine an adult doing that 24/7, but doing it in real-life, irregardless if they're talking to their colleagues, friends, family, or strangers. That's a psycopath.
