Unhealthy societies is what happens, over time, when political sociopaths are afforded adult authority in a society. A political sociopath is someone who is willing to do harm to another for the sake of opportunity, social capital, hierarchy, profit and/or pleasure. Its a class of behavioral choices, not a diagnosis. People with a diagnosis needs treatment, which may mean some degree of sequestration from mainstream society is required. Yet, once it is determined that there are no physiological impairments to empathy generation other than choice, the responsibility is theirs within that circumstance.

All governance will descend into oligarchy, plutocracy and fascism at rates that are determined by the quality and stability of its consensus seeking strategies, the tolerance of bad faith actors in its processes, its best practices policies and the documentation of data that goes into the making of its policy choices. They cannot be compared outside that framework in regard to speed of that descent. Consensus seeking strategies are what create the possibility of a society. Anything less creates a war zone. As such these are the foundational topics of establishing a healthy society.

If your conscience prohibits you from making politically sociopathic choices then you are adult enough to participate in a healthy and holistic society and the activities of perfecting that society. If you make politically sociopathic choices then, not so much. A political sociopath is someone who is willing to do harm to another for the sake of opportunity, social capital, hierarchy, profit and/or pleasure. No religion or other external locus of control or transference required. Yet are often used such that peer pressure leverages your conscience in a direction. Whatever internal model we use to guide us through our decision making processes are ours alone, and can be concrete or imaginary.

Hope is created by reaching a consensus on the most basic empathetic concepts and the equitable means to address issues, consensus seeking.
