@joshsusser Perhaps right-wingers or bigots? Sounds like those are who you're talking about

@anarkitty Actually, no. I meant people with extreme antisocial behavior who show no conscience, which is unrelated to political orientation or bigotry. I could have used an imprecise euphemism or long descriptive phrase, but that would only confuse things. My mission was to communicate a warning, not to fix language, ableism, or the field of psychology, and you gotta pick your battles. I am aware that that word has baggage, but sometimes it's fine to use a word to mean what everyone thinks it means.
