The tyrannical style

The tyrannical style is sickening to observe, exhausting to read about and stains the history of the world with the suffering and blood of the meek, but it is something essential to recognize, mobilize against, defeat or get away from.    The tyrant is concerned only with power over others and there is no consideration for them outside of being the one in charge of everyone around them.   This personality type sees life as a brutal competition that inevitably involves combat to the death.   They never back down, not to reason, appeals to decency or anything but superior force.   If you can’t safely get away from them, you literally have to club them unconscious to end the senseless war, and then get away from them.

Being a tyrant is not a healthy or helpful way to go through life, of course, human evolution and all progress has been based on cooperation, increased understanding developed by groups working toward common goals.  There is nothing healthy or useful about a tyrant, except to others as monstrously disposed to domination and selfishness as the tyrant himself.   One tyrant is always useful to another tyrant, if they can find mutual benefit in an alliance.

These motherfuckers appear in every walk of life.  They are domineering colleagues, abusive parents, faithless partners, treacherous playmates.  They appear as corrupt public servants, mobsters, executives, bosses who take pleasure in demoralizing and humiliating employees, surgeons who blame their patients for not asking for the proper tests prior to harmful surgery. 

There is, sadly, no shortage of these twisted creatures in our toxic society where everything is for sale, every interaction monetized for maximum profit,   They are, many are duped into believing, the “winners” among us, because they “rule.”

You eventually learn that such creatures are always created by tremendous damage done to them before they had anything to say about it.  There is a genetic component, to be sure, you can see the brain scans of a certain type, drowned in certain hormones in the womb, emerging devoid of empathy, connection or the capacity for regret.  If you add to this genetic code mistreatment by caretakers, particularly traumatic violence, or continual fear and humiliation, you get your adult tyrant, or serial killer, or simply someone who cannot stop themselves from raging whenever they feel defied.  Disagreement of any kind is seen as defiance to them, and will not be tolerated.

You may never discuss what happened, they don’t care what happened, it never happened.  They live in a present where if they are not 100% in control, and acknowledged as your superior, there will be rage until you comply.  The irrationality of these formidably insane fuckers makes any kind of meaningful conversation impossible.  You will hear them angrily insist on plainly ridiculous things.  If you produce evidence that what they are saying is not based on anything real they will forcefully counter that the lack of evidence for proof of their position PROVES that evidence has been hidden and that you are lying.  It is sickening to be locked in a dispute with one of these sick fucks.

My advice is avoid them at the first sign of irrational insistence.  It never gets better, it only intensifies until you finally react with anger.  When you do: trial by combat, usually against  at least 10 to one odds.  Violence, of one kind or another, is the only thing these twisted souls are capable of when their claim to perfection is not accepted.
