Yeah sociopathy is a real disorder that people suffer through. We should help them like we would anyone else who suffers from mental health illnesses.
The struggle is when society actually rewards the illness, so they never see it as a problem because they never see a reason to seek treatment.
Similar to narcissism. It’s awful to be around someone who is narcissistic (not egotistical). But one of the most prestigious jobs in our society is small business tyrant. So people who suffer from narcissism gain material benefits by not seeking help for a illness that destroys relationships and actively harms everyone around them on a daily basis, including themselves.
There is also the thing that we ought to organize society in a way that no children, no partner, no one has to deal with the power narcists etc. create and try to hold over you.
Instead it ought to be organized that people are free to withdraw and have collective bonds who are created by groups of people who are not manipulated by narcissists etc.
There are definitely some sociopaths though, and they can really fuck things up for everyone if they aren’t stopped... see: our society.
