Unfortunately, the personality disordered (narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths) have zero empathy. They are unable to feel shame.

The closest to shame they experience is embarrassment at being called out publicly. That embarrassment disappears once the situation has concluded. The personality disordered have no genuine capacity for remorse. They do not possess a conscience to be troubled.

Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths are attracted to positions of status and power. They understand on an intellectual level that the pain they intend to inflict upon unsuspecting victims and the crimes they intend to commit are regarded by normal people as wrong.

For that reason, they are careful to surround themselves with similarly personality-disordered individuals. It’s no exaggeration to say that those who successfully climb the greasy pole in most organizations have demonstrated personality-disordered traits.

They’ve shown their superiors that they are willing to turn a blind eye to malfeasance and that they care nothing for the consequences suffered by those they set out to injure. Most will regard their victims as dim-witted inferiors who got what was coming to them.

Not only are such malevolent individuals promoted, they are sought out and cultivated by their personality-disordered superiors in the workplace.

Gradually, the personality-disordered have come to dominate decision-making positions, especially those managing funding in the hundreds of millions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$. As always, understanding their nefarious activities requires following the money. The personality-disordered are nothing if not greedy.

Imagine that every government agency, the entire “justice” system, every professional organization, every health care facility and every academic institution has been captured by the personality-disordered and their willing accomplices. To survive and thrive within those organizations, you must have no scruples whatsoever. No questions may be asked. In all situations, the ends justify the means.

Now do you understand how every organized group in this country was subverted to introduce policies conducive to mass murder? Under the guise of “health care”, no less??

This was done entirely by design and most likely, plotted out over several centuries. You don’t need to be a person of faith or of any faith at all to sense demonic involvement in these depraved machinations.

If you are a person who prays, pray incessantly for the guilty to suffer the wrath of the Creator and the slaughtered innocents to be avenged.

Yes, I already know what psychopaths are and do, and how they tend to rise to the top of all of society's organizations. I've read _Political Ponerology_ in response to having had to deal with a psychopathic attorney decades ago, who was leaving much destruction of business partners, clients, and families in his wake (psychopaths are often human predators).

I was referring to the NIH "nice people" that Dani was referencing -- the ones who are NOT psychopaths, but are willfully blind to their being the highly compartmentalized means by which the psychopaths in charge carry out their evil.

Even the allegedly “nice” people must be personality disordered to a degree. It’s a spectrum, at the end of the day. It’s not static, either, but rather influenced by environment and opportunity.

If they weren’t personality disordered, they wouldn’t stay in their jobs. They would switch careers and likely, surreptitiously spread the word about what they experienced in their former workplace. They wouldn’t be able to justify to themselves working for an organization they know from personal experience to be corrupt and nefarious. Not if they have a conscience - which narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths lack entirely.

Those who stay for decades to climb the greasy pole and do the bidding of the more extreme narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths are the furthest thing from “nice”. They are equally complicit and thus, culpable. Do not be deceived by superficial appearances.

Agreed. It was Dani who described them as "nice". The higher these willfully ignorant "nice" people go up the ladder, as you say, the more they have to deceive themselves that they are still benefitting society. At some point, they may simply decide that their lives are too financially rewarding, and so they huddle further behind their blinders and deceive themselves further. The road to evil is wide and slippery, but they weren't psychopaths to begin with (one is BORN a psychopath -- their brain scans show some very interesting differences from "normal" people).
