Kanye West sued, dropped by talent agency and retail platform over antisemitic slurs (www.theguardian.com)

Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee.

Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”.

The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”.

Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.”

You're missing the point entirely. I'm saying the people I'm labeling as "good" don't have ASPD, whereas the "bad" people I listed do.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/antisocial-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20353928

Your definition involving legality does not match up to the medical definition of ASPD, which is defined by morality. I think you're getting confused because people with ASPD are often times also criminals, but the medical definition is not simply "a criminal."

From the link above: "Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to purposely make others angry or upset and manipulate or treat others harshly or with cruel indifference. They lack remorse or do not regret their behavior."

Now tell me how Harriet Tubman had ASPD given that definition.

Or if you prefer the DSM-5, it's on page 659: https://archive.org/details/APA-DSM-5/page/659/mode/1up

I think you're getting hung up on that first point (A1), but three or more of those criteria must apply to be able to diagnose ASPD.

Now tell me how

Mate...

I've sunk a lot of time trying to help you against your own will.

I know you think talking like that is a "slam" and that you're winning an argument, but no one else is arguing. I'm trying to help you, and you're getting an attitude like that

The only reason I'm replying again, is a hail Mary that you at least realize acting like this doesn't mean you "win" when someone stops replying...

It means someone wrote you off as a lost cause.

And I bet you think you "win" a lot, so it was worth typing that.

Says the person who didn't engage on the substance of my post, but instead is attempting an ad hominem attack while downvoting because you disagree. Sure sounds like you lost the argument here, bud.

Note how I didn't downvote you until you posted this, now that I understand that you are not arguing in good faith.
