The older I get, the more I realize how many problems in the world are caused by the dark personality spectrum. Most men, police officers, priests, white people, catholics, politicians, or Germans are actually nice people who wouldn't harm anybody even if given the chance. A lot of the abuse that was done by these groups, be it towards women, ethnic minorities, children, or police brutality, was most likely done by somebody with strong dark personality traits. Not all crimes, but a surprisingly large amount. Exploring this condition, learning to recognize dark personality traits more reliably, knowing how to mitigate them, and maybe finding ways to help these suffering people is an important evolutionary step for us as a species. One way to see through their games and machinations is by looking at the facts.

Isn't this just circular since we would classify all people doing bad things as people with dark personality traits?

That's not how dark personalities are defined. With enough training one can recognize them. Relevant video: https://youtu.be/GaeJCA4nRPI

Did you just use white as a description for a group of people on the dark personality dimension?

[kevingoslar]

No.

Don't forget "And most men." Not only is it overtly racist, it's blatantly sexist too. It's amazing how that comment is not flagged and banned as hate speech or flamebait. But this is HN.
