Psychological drives and disorders

The chart above is not specifically about schizoids but it is easiest to explain and understand using schizoids as an example.

Females = Empathy
Males = Antiempathy
Schizoids lack both empathy and antiempathy.
Schizoid + All-or-nothing thinking = homosexual

Being schizoid is not a choice but black and white all-or-nothing thinking certainly is.

Is there an argument hiding somewhere within this mess?

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian or totalitarian nationalist or ultranationalist political ideology. Fascists paradoxically promote violence and war as actions that create positive transformation in society (See cognitive dissonance) and exalt militarism as providing national regeneration, spiritual renovation, vitality, education, instilling of a will to dominate in people's character, and creating national comradeship through military service. Fascists view conflict as an inevitable fact of life that is responsible for all human progress. Their motto is "there can be only one".

Ultimately, it is easier to define fascism by what it is against than by what it is for. Fascism is anti-anarchist, anti-communist, anti-conservative, anti-democratic, anti-individualist, anti-liberal, anti-parliamentary, anti-bourgeois, and anti-proletarian. It entails a distinctive type of anti-capitalism and is typically, with few exceptions, anti-clerical. Fascism rejects the concepts of egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favour of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit, and will. In economics, fascists oppose liberalism (as a bourgeois movement) and Marxism (as a proletarian movement) for being exclusive economic class-based movements.

Indeed, fascism is perhaps best described as "anti-ism"; that is, the philosophy of being against everyone and everything all of the time. The only place where fascism makes any sense is bootcamp. But if fascists had their way they would turn the entire world into one big never-ending boot camp.

Now you may be wondering how anyone could be so stupid as to believe in fascism but capitalism can be thought of as economic fascism. Capitalists believe that if we all try to drive each other out of business then we will all become rich. Fascists just take it to the next level.

Objectivity: You see what you want to see and if you truly want to see what the facts say when they are allowed to speak for themselves then you will indeed see that too.

My philosophy is that objectivity is the only important philosophy. Everything else in life is just a matter of personal preference. The reason that objectivity is important is because without objectivity civilization cant exist.

A moral person is a person that understands that the universe does not revolve around their ego.
A civilized society is a society whose laws do not revolve around any one person or group of people.
The more a society treats everyone as equals the more civilized it is.

But treating everyone as equals is not the same thing as treating everyone exactly the same.
If we treated everyone the way that extroverts want to be treated then people who are introverted would suffer.
Treating everyone as if they were exactly the same is pseudo-civilization.

Society can and should make reasonable accommodation for people with mental disorders but certain things, like child abuse, are simply unacceptable no matter what. If a person cannot or will not meet society halfway then they must be deemed insane and put away for their own protection until such a time as they learn how to function in civilized society.

If you were trying to sum what you were shooting for with this thread in a sentence what would that sentence be?

My philosophy is that objectivity is the only important philosophy. Everything else in life is just a matter of personal preference.

Here's the twist: To remain in objectivity's full embrace is to acknowledge, respect and empathize with the fundamental subjectivity and variations on human existence...else your objective approach is no more than a self-serving rant, effectively relegating itself to the "personal preference" bin.
