Arthur Kemp has posted excerpts from the divorce papers of Morris Dees. It portrays someone eager to have sex with pretty much anything that moves — perhaps not that uncommon in 1970s America. But the excerpts also portray him as a sociopath — someone with no sympathy or empathy and inclined to use people to attain selfish goals — in Dees’ case, sexual gratification. Sociopaths feel no remorse for committing crimes against others. The prisons are full of them.
In particular, Dees is alleged to have entrapped his wife in order to get favorable terms in the divorce, and then “He hit her and gave her a busted jaw.” The allegations of sexually molesting his 16-year-old stepchild also indicate sociopathy — an attempt to take advantage of a minor in a way that would likely lead to psychological distress and perhaps dysfunction later. Another indication is that his mistress “had become pregnant by him and had received an abortion which he had paid for.” In other words, even though the relationship with the mistress is described as “permanent,” it was about self-gratification rather than family creation.
It’s not surprising that someone like Dees has no feelings for his people. Sociopaths never do. Such sociopathy is rampant among White people in our political and media elite. Bill Clinton comes to mind.
One of the things that struck me in reading the academic literature on the Bolshevik horror in the USSR was that the ethnic Russians who were involved in mass murder and torture were “psychopaths [another word for sociopaths] and criminals.” (See the Preface to the paperback edition of CofC.) Most of the damage was done by ethnic outsiders, predominantly Jews. These people quite often had strong feelings for their families and their own people — their cruelty directed at ethnic outsiders. But there was no lack of sociopathic Russians to aid in dispossessing their own people.
We are seeing the same thing now.
Facing the Future as a Minority
“Such sociopathy is rampant among White people in our political and media elite. Bill Clinton comes to mind.”
True. It seems that the decay of the nation states (and the rule of law) throughout the West, encourages sociopaths in periods of decline and decadence (in terms of growth conditions). It is, however, questionable whether the contemporary “homo sociopaticus” craves for fame and glory at a presidential level – with all the scrutiny in Western mass media etc. Stalin, widely regarded as an obvious sociopath, could pretty much do as he wanted without having to worry about journalists, the CNN etc. From this perspective, I doubt that Bill Clinton fits into a sociopathic profile.
Here’s Jew Lev “Leon Trotsky” Bronstein in his autobiography justifying his contribution to modern warfare, “blocking units”, note the disassociation from and disgust with mankind, or “malicious tailless apes” as he calls us:
“Masses of men cannot be led to death unless the army command has the death penalty in its arsenal. So long as those malicious tailless apes that are so proud of their technical achievements — the animals that we call men — will build armies and wage wars, the command will always be obliged to place the soldiers between the possible death in the front and the inevitable one in the rear.”
PS: TOO blog is among the finest Christmas presents I and other pro-whites will receive this year, thanks man.
Seems like a sociopath would attack innocent, helpless victims and use them. Its hard to see the women in Clinton’s life as innocent victims. Neither Hillary nor any of the other women could be put into that category. Its just the lifestyle in Washington circles.
I don’t like the Clintons because they are doing everything they can to bring immigrants into America and level the people of the world so we can be subjected to a world government. They bow to the Jews. They are definitely traitors to their own people.
But it bothers me a lot when white nationalists demonize the Democrats and associate themselves with the Republicans. There is no difference between the major parties.
In order to stop what is happening to America we need a new party full of leaders who have no political connections to the Washington establishment. The republicans are not going to save us. Both parties are full of the type of sociopath who will sell out their country and people for power and money.
I’ll second what Barbara Cornett says, I don’t want to be associated with the Republican party anymore than the Democratic party. If Clinton was a sociopath, so was Bush Jr. But I’m sure they didn’t post this to talk about partisan politics.
It may be interesting to compare Morris Dees with another radical, pro-civil rights and pro-integration leader from the 1970s and 1980s – Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church. He’s also been described as a sociopath and accused of abusive family relationships.
Phelps sued Kansas schools many times to overturn de jure and de facto segregation, was given awards by the NAACP, and according to some in his family, was personally quite contemptuous of his Black clients and used racial epithets to refer to them behind their backs.
Would it be a stretch to believe that Morris Dees’ great jihad against White people had nothing to do with any sincere beliefs or concern for non-Whites, but was simply a path to money? Don’t they call the SPLC building the “Palace that Poverty Built”?
Perhaps anti-white collaborators can be best understood as sociopaths recruited by ADL/SPLC types. Maybe they are similar in motivation as the Hal Turner FBI agent provocateur types.
Geiseric,
I think Clinton would be better described as a narcissist than a sociopath, for the reasons you mention. Most major media/political figures fit a narcissistic personality type.
Christopher Lasch argued that narcisissm had become an adaptive personality type in modern society, in which image and perception is more important than substance.
Dees is a disgusting character. It doesn’t surprise me. When you really examine our opponents on the anti-White Left, you’ll find they are a pretty unsavoury lot. A cast of scumbags posing as paragons of “anti-racist” virtue.
dr. darkmoon’s article on art comes to mind ‘promote the worst gentiles’
when a hostile outside ethnic elite comes to power, it only makes sense that the only people not of that group who will rise in government, academia, etc are those who are hostile towards society on the whole – thus the rise of damien hirsts, bill clintons, and so on.
After all, what use would say, a compassionate russian noble or clergy have been to the bolshiviks?
. If Clinton was a sociopath, so was Bush Jr.
steve sailer had an interesting blog post theorizing that carl rove was something of socipath because he was an ‘outsider’ where he grew up…forgot the details.
and I agree the republican elite are just as hostile as the democrats, and they are perhaps even more dangerous because they mask their intentions in patriotic ‘we care for the America you love’ rhetoric.
You assert that the Bolsheviks who mass murdered Russians not of their immediate ethnic group were not sociopaths because they still had some affection for their own families, making them, I suppose, not completely evil. Wouldn’t that same line of thought be true for most of our prison population, who have murdered/raped people of not even their own race?
Re Mo’s comment: That’s a tough one. I am imagining a person who loves his own family and people and directs his hostility toward on outgroup. Real sociopaths don’t have any sympathy or affectional ties to anyone, not even their own family, much less their race. I suppose such a person could pick on people from another race to murder, but I’d still call him a sociopath if he had no ties of affection to anyone. That part of his brain is just not working. Kevin M
There are at least two interesting questions here, in my opinion: (1) does certain ethno-cultural entities have a higher score on sociopathy than others? (2) why does evolution seem to favor sociopaths in terms of reproductive success. The two questions are, obviously, interconnected.
Re whether Clinton is a sociopath: I agree that Clinton is a narcissist. I think that he popped into my head as a sociopath because, as I recall, there were credible allegations that he attempted to force himself on the widow of a friend of his. There’s also the Marc Rich pardon and, in general, his courting of rich Jews like Haim Saban. As I wrote, ” It is certainly striking that Bill Clinton is on record as expressing very positive attitudes about massive immigration and the impending minority status of his own people, while maintaining a close relationship with a wealthy Jewish ethnic activist intent on advancing the interests of Jews. One could say virtually the same thing about the entire political class in America. This is, I think, a parable of our times.”

I read somewhere — probably in something by or about Robert Hare’s work on psycopathy (sociopathy) — that Native Americans (North American Indians, to be specific) have one of the highest frequencies (the highest frequency?) of psycopaths. (I’ll try to find the reference; can’t recall it at the moment.)
For a time, I wondered if this was because North Americans Indians have gone through something of a population bottleneck in the last couple hundred years. I mean, Europeans really did wipe them out to a large extent — which Indians managed to survive that process? Psycopaths, perhaps?
On the other hand, perhaps if you are a hunter(-gatherer), you would be rather psycopathic. Perhaps having little to no feelings of empathy toward other creatures would make it easy to kill prey. (Not to mention killing other people in rival groups.) I wonder if other hunting groups, like the Bushmen, would score high on psycopathy tests. Certainly you would think a lot of the people in Papua New Guinea would!
On the other hand, I think a lot of the vegetarians/PETA-type people of today are probably an extreme expression of pastoralist personality types. It’s likely that many human populations that have been pastoralists for a long time are quite fond of their animals; you would think such feelings would be useful and could be selected for.
Complete psycopathy, however, where one would have no feelings for even one’s own family would be dysfunctional, of course; but psycopathy is probably a range of behaviors along a spectrum.
Eileen, psychopathy is definitely a set of criteria scored along a spectrum, at least according to the little I’ve read.
@Eileen: Professor MacDonald mentioned Russia in his posting – a country that has a long history as a “culture of predators,” i.e. basically a lawless country where power traditionally belongs to the most cunning/brutal (more or less sociopathic) leader/predator.
My guess is that a high score on sociopathy (isn’t a sociopath basically a caveman?) correlates with a low score on civilization (the rule of law, high degree of predictability etc). “Vegetarians” are more “civilized” in the sense that they are more (sublimely) disciplined.
“… But the excerpts also portray him as a sociopath — someone with no sympathy or empathy and inclined to use people to attain selfish goals..”
Kevin: Thanks for that interesting tidbit. I will add it to my arsenal–I can’t think of a more despicable person than morris dees (I refuse to capitalize the names of those persons, organizations or things for which I have no respect).
It seems along with mindless sex, dees is keenly interested in money–and it doesn’t matter whom he hurts if they get in his way–a selfish, self-centered psychopath indeed. It is ridiculous that the media give him such accolades–good news, though, I heard today CNNs viewership is down 30% this year.
This is from DiscoverTheNetwork.com:
“…Dees is known to be the architect of one of SPLC’s most effective—and most controversial—tactics: exaggerating the prevalence and capabilities of racist and extremist rightwing groups operating in the United States in order to frighten supporters into donating money to SPLC.
Leftwing journalist Alexander Cockburn accused Dees of raising funds ‘by frightening elderly liberals that the heirs of Adolf Hitler are about to march down Main Street.’
Dees once boasted, ‘I learned everything I know about hustling from the Baptist Church. Spending Sundays on those hard benches listening to the preacher pitch salvation — why, it was like getting a Ph.D. in selling.’..”

Thanks for all your great work, especially The Culture of Critique–it is a virtual road map for all that has gone disastrously wrong in the past 40-50 years and why, how and for what purpose our White, Euro-American culture has been destroyed.
We are now well down the road to an authoritarian, central-government police state lorded over by an angry, vengeful, hostile elite hell-bent on eliminating Whites–but only after they’ve confiscated our wealth, treasure and land.

Professor Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus of Psychology of the University of Ulster has written a very informative article on this very subject:
He reports:
“…Just as racial groups differ in average IQ, they can also differ in average levels of other psychological traits, and racial differences in the tendency towards psychopathic personality would explain virtually all the differences in black and white behavior left unexplained by differences in IQ.
Psychopathic personality is a personality disorder of which the central feature is lack of a moral sense.
There is almost complete consistency in the racial differences in outcomes that can be considered measures of psychopathic personality. In everything from child behavior to sexual precocity to adult crime rates we find Asians at one extreme, blacks at the other, and whites, Hispanics and American Indians in between. These differences are not only consistent through time but are found in countries such as France, Britain, Canada, and the United States, which have very different histories of what could be called ‘racism.’ Indices of high psychopathic personality in blacks are likewise found in the virtually all-black societies of Africa and the Caribbean.
Racial differences in psychopathic behavior persist even when IQ is held constant, and the same racial differences are found in essentially every kind of measurable behavior that reflects psychopathic personality…”

This doesn’t surprise me about Morris ‘the sleaze’ Dees.
I believe one would have to be partially sociopathic to completely ignore normal ethno-centrism, work entirely against it, and in the end work to bring down ones own Civilization!!
Seriously alot of this Leftist Social Engineering could be regarded in Sociopathic!
theoccidentalobserver.net – da best. Keep it going!
Thank you

I am very – Very – happy to read Kevin MacDonal write about this.
Not to say that he hasn’t before, maybe he has. But I have never come across anything in his work that comes out and says it like he has here.
In any event, it is something I have been writing about on the Internet, just about anywhere I can, for the past three year and half years (mostly under the name Dedalus).
There’s a reason for that. Though I have been sharing with people in the flesh and in print about my love for Romanticism, mostly through the work of Morse Peckham, and with Family Systems Theory (operating firmly in the Romantic tradition) mainly through the work of John Bradshaw, both of which touch on the themes of violation and transcendence from violation, it was not until a number of personal experiences that I was able to truly breakthough and away from the influence of a family, society, and culture teeming with psycho and socio pathology (the main practioners of violation).
I like to use both because though often confused with each other the one puts the emphasis on physical violence and the other on social manipulation. The common bond is a chilling lack of remorse (and a corresponding need to demand special consideration for everything they do, ie; hypocrisy).
Around 2005 I wrote to a friend saying that “September 11th blew the lid off of America’s Psychopathology.”
I still believe that (though today I would add “and the world’s”). But it wasn’t until much later that I really got what I meant by that.
It was THE great “Pattern Interuption” of the Modern Age.
Meaning, things like Group Consensus, and Undifferentiated Ego Mass, etc. remove any sting of conscience, but also any sense of responsibility toward those we have hurt. Meaning , there is no need to make an amends or apologize.
Group Consensus positvely encourages behavior that could be described as pathological – violation with no conscience.
And that this behavior can be readily applied to each and every society, or social group, everywhere.
In any event, in my case, personally, it took until that year – 2005 – before I realized how hard my bell had been rung by the events of that day, September 11th (I REFUSE to say 9 11, how pretentious and disgusting!).
There are a number of reasons for that and one of them certainly is the fact that that day effected myself and my family personally.
Long story short, I began to subsume all behavior under Violation and Transcendence (from Violation, in all of it’s forms).
One of the most exciting things about being alive today is to witness and be a part of this impulse to move away from violation. It is an impulse many of us are acting on, though mostly unconsciously and so, symptomatically. But more and more are developing a conscious awareness of the issues involved in identifying and breaking away from violation in all of its forms. And naturally, the most severe form of violation comes from those we identify as psycho and sociopaths.
The truth is, the number one reason I read TOO and related sites is because I see them working in this area of identifying a source of violation and working to free themselves from it. Something I have been involved in for years, though in a different context.
A word of caution. I’ve said it before and will say it again because it’s worth repeating. Just because they are bad does not automatically make us good. I see a lot of this going on all over. It’s not healthy and is unlikely to produce anything lasting or positive.
If anything, the experience of identifying it in others should help us to identify it in ourselves. If it’s not there, fine.
If it is, we should do exactly what they refuse to do, ie; Own up and work toward a recovery of some kind.
Either way, discussion on the subject should be encouraged. It would be an excellent opportunity to learn the most difficult thing there is to do, self-criticism without any anxiety interfering with that self-examination. Something none of us are taught in the one place where it should be taught, in institutions of higher learning. A fact that ought to call into question once and for all the activities of those involved in these institutions. It ought to expose their behavior as both pretentious and fraudulent, as well as the very source of their dishonesty and corruption. Hiding behind prestigious institutions, in name only, and subverting the principles of higher learning so as to conceal their intellectual dishonesty, and actually validate that dishonesty in an attempt reinterpret and justify their psychological weakness, and emotional hysteria.
Still, there is no question that the process of identifying such behavior in others can be used as a shield to protect one from seeing it in themselves. This is mere projetion and will eventually come back to haunt those who practice it.
After all, the best way to attract someones attention is to walk the talk.
Everyone loves a healthy soul and an honest person. Not someone with delusions of granduer who thinks they are perfect and invincible.
But, rather, someone who knows that the whole value of spiritual growth rests on the fact that man’s only adequacy is in facing his inadequacy. In short, no one’s perfect. Perhaps this could serve as an unlikely, but salutory, organizing principle. A commitment to it would certainly show up the enemy. Since no violence is necessary it would be splendid example of transcending violation while serving as an obvious power of example.
If we’re looking for people to be a part of what we’re trying to do we’ve got to make them want our lives. And one can hardly do that by attempting to place themself above criticism.

Yes. Higher incidence of adult psychopathy among black adoptees was also reported in the famous Scarr/Weinberg transracial adoption study. Interestingly, the white natural children of the adoptive parents, raised along side these black siblings, also showed elevated rates of psychopathy as adults.

Is there a difference between sociopathy and psychopathy? Some authorities find a difference, but it would seem small and largely arising from differences in interpretation. From wiki:
THE SPLC IS A HATE GROUP ENGAGED IN FRAUD AND RACKETEERING.
WHY MORRIS DEES NEEDS TO BE DISBARRED IN VARIOUS STATES.
Thank you for the great article. I agree–Mr. Dees is a psychopath (sociopath) and is unfit to be an attorney. He has a long history of violations of the rules of professional conduct and he should have been disbarred and still needs to be. Here is why:
SPLC has a good scam going–any group that is patriotic and cares about this country is labeled a hate group.
But what most Americans do not understand that the SPLC does not have any special authority or right to do that, more than any other guy on the street.
The gullible American public views SPLC’s senseless rantings as if it were a fact–they are not!!
SPLC’s scam is just to make money. The lies of this hate group is to advance this fraud by bilking the donors and therefore can be viewed as mail fraud, wire fraud and racketeering.
People should file complaints with the state bars of the various states against Morris Dees and have disbarred, since I think, a lot of his dirty tricks and scams appear to violate the rules of professional conduct. For example, many state bars prohibit false statements to 3rd parties or violations of the law. Calling innocent groups as hate groups and making those statements to 3rd parties is often unethical unprofessional conduct warranting disbarment. Defaming other parties is a violation of the law (defamation) and is often unprofessional conduct warranting disciplinary action.
Also, promoting illegal aliens (who are by definition, criminals), collecting money from his donors by misrepresenting things, are violations of the rules of professional conduct, warranting disciplinary action.
He wants to destroy America and is an anti-social sociopath–in my opinion. The list of unethical and unprofessional conduct by Dees could be quite long, since he often behaves like an unprofessional unethical crooked lawyer.
People who have contributed to him, in response to the fraud in his mailers, will have additional standing to sue him for fraud and racketeering and have him disbarred. They could also file criminal complaints against him with the Attorney general to have criminal prosecuted for mail and wire fraud.
If people filed numerous complaints against Morris Dees, not only in his home state, but in every state he has ever appeared pro hac vice, he could be disbarred. He is a disgrace to the legal profession and his continuing to practice shows the “conspiracy of silence” of this profession.
