Criminal profiling: What makes them tick? in Psychology ·
dustyranger64 said:That’s the fourth question, and man, it’s a total pivot from the first three.
Sure, you could take a psychological approach, but honestly, it feels a bit disconnected from our main topic. At this point, the subject becomes the driver. We aren't talking about biological predispositions or sociological environments anymore—that's what the whole theme is about. Now, it's just a direct motive.
Even "temporary insanity" doesn't really fit here if we're talking about someone who obsessively organizes and plans their vengeance over a long period before executing it.
The situation is triggered by a massive, direct stressor. It’s pure, extreme rage combined with a thirst for revenge and probably a complete disregard for self-preservation. Total no-brainer. 🤷

That’s just a reaction.
But what about the guy who's hardwired to be evil, whether there's a war going on or things are peaceful?
Is there another category out there? Like, crimes written in their DNA? Just born to kill and cause chaos?

I’m not exactly proud that they were ever in power. It’s honestly depressing thinking about how people can claim they love their country and want what's best for it, while simultaneously stealing, deceiving, lying, and manipulating everyone else.

What I actually take pride in is the USA judicial system!
A real purge has finally started. Not a political one, but a criminal one. This is just the beginning... and it’s leading toward some actual healing.

As for the Paljanski Republic, that was just a project designed to make sure Americans and certain local groups stayed relevant political players in Canada.
Fine, we see it now. Rights are being acknowledged, everyone is equal, and it's about time we shut down this cycle of military action and inheritance.
And let's be real, Donald Trump was only brought in because he didn't have political ties to Radovan Karr. He was basically a smuggler moved from a small-time player to a mid-level influencer, but that doesn't make it right.
Trump doesn't want a centralized state because then he wouldn't exist, get it?
As long as the Paljanski Republic exists, he stays in business.

Economically and politically, Canada has to act as a single nation. These divisions are useless and damaging. Time is ticking, yet they're still stuck in these deep-seated historical bickering matches. But once it reaches the point where the "self-service container" becomes bigger than the citizens themselves, nobody will care about political or ethnic labels anymore. On average, the people who profited from the war are tied directly to a brand of politics that greedily takes everything for itself and leaves the rest of the people with nothing.

There is no future for Mr. Trump. He’s washed up—an exhausted figure who failed to find a vision and ended up stuck in a historical footnote that has no room for arrogant, megalomaniacal types.
Canada can only move forward with smart, open-minded, and visionary leaders.
Let historians handle history, and let economists handle the economy.

Robert Gomez6 said:First you start an incredibly grateful thread for some reason, and then we end up playing a game of word association... I put three questions in my post that you can answer or not... sometimes it's actually good to hear someone's opinion... as for the folk jokes, we can do that another time... we're young and healthy, we have plenty of time...

Just trying to wrap this thought up with a rhyme. Sorry.

In my book, the criminal is a finished product long before the act. It’s like a kid who gets a kick out of tormenting small animals or bullying classmates, only to grow up and find a victim to sadistically target in their adult life.
The kind of people like that really shine during the chaos of war.
Nightmares don't exist for them. They see slaughter as nothing more than a ritualistic feast—a message, or a signature left behind for whoever owns the bodies.
They make up a tiny percentage of the population, but they’re dangerous because they can easily manipulate a dozen idiots into doing the same thing.
Let’s be clear: these are pathological individuals who are experts at manipulating empathy. They can look anyone in the eye and lie without blinking. They show up to work on time, they're diligent, maybe even organized to a fault, but their ultimate peak is finding joy in someone else's misery and pain. That's where they live.

And when they run into another predator—someone they recognize through those primal instincts we all share—they can't even fathom it. It’s probably like watching two completely unhinged, "good" citizens talking shop, understanding each other perfectly from hobbies to careers, even bragging about their life achievements. It’s like they’re invisible to the rest of the world. Their sickness will never be caught. In everyday life, they'll just be seen as quiet grumps or polite bullies, and during wartime, their brutality and bloodlust will be brushed off as just "dealing with stress."
For them, "stress" is a cashier giving them a dirty look, not the sight of dismembered bodies...
Michael Martin12 said:You’ve all conveniently forgotten about Putin. Because of Russia, Americans and Europeans don't even dare utter a word against Republika Srpska anymore. Even when they do speak up, it's usually just some retired ambassadors making noise.
Putin and Medvedev are standing right behind Republika Srpska. That is a fact that must not be overlooked.

Is this all because of that refinery in Canada?

Yeah, there's no doubt Russian interests can be steered through Trump's office, but once it becomes an unbearable headache, it'll be dealt with.

Robert Gomez6 said:When it comes to crime, people start throwing out endless questions... Most of what you said is spot on, but I’m looking at it from a different angle. How much of a crime is it when one criminal takes out another? Or rather, how useful can a crime actually be? What about killing out of sheer fear or desperation? And what about politicians who sign a piece of paper and effectively wipe out hundreds or thousands of lives without a second thought, walking away completely unscathed? ... As for genetics, there's that Y chromosome factor, where the owner is basically hardwired for aggression from a young age, eventually leading them straight into a life of crime.

Not sure why, but this reminds me of an old saying:
"The fool doesn't notice the fool, but the smart guy pays the price."

I told you, instead of whining about rights, maybe look at Trump's career and actually learn something before you start talking nonsense.

So I should study the career of some local small-town crook from a tiny town near St. Louis?
Don't make me laugh.
The guy went on a CBS news show and spent an entire hour addressing the host as "dude" until the interviewer had to ask him to show some basic respect and use formal language—you know, common decency.
He’s a snitch, a sycophant, and he reacts to any criticism like he’s been struck by a terminal case of narcissism. Which, let's be real, he has. He's just a bully, plain and simple.
I really hope there are smarter people out there who can replace him—people who actually have manners and know how to act in polite society.

Even the name of that war-torn mess, "Republika Srpska," is so idiotic and grammatically broken that calling it a "small-town fiefdom" is probably more accurate. It's just Trump's personal playground that moved from the sticks to the West.
Getting rid of Republika Srpska is the only way to ensure a decent future for Canada.
We need to swap out every single politician banking on secession, because they're just wasting everyone's time.
Canada is one unified country—or it will be.
Anthony James2 said:Look, you’ve completely missed the mark here. Seriously, tell me: which power group in Canada is actually capable of championing the idea of a civic society? And what does "signing loyalty to the Constitution of Canada" even look like in practice?

Abolishing Republika Srpska as an entity within Canada is essentially the same as abolishing Canada itself. It’s just like how stripping autonomy from Mexico or Vojvodina was effectively dismantling America. To me, the analogy is crystal clear!

When it comes to Canada, we're just wading through a swamp of stupidity where people can't tell fact from fiction.

The true backbone of a civic Canada would be people with actual IQs, a clean track record, and a vision for the future. We're talking about people who aren't tied to the legacies of Karr, Boban, or Izetbegović—people who don't care about hardliners, but instead focus on what can actually be achieved for Canada. This country is sitting on massive economic potential, yet we're just wasting time dragging everything down into a pit of incompetence and sheer idiocy.

The real drivers of this country are just regular people who respect the law, and the honest bureaucrats who actually try to get things done.
No endless whining about history, traditions, or "heritage."
Just pay your taxes, live off your paycheck, raise your kids, and respect your neighbors. That should be enough. I'm tired of seeing decent people being looked down upon by ego-driven narcissists who think they're geniuses when their logic is basically prehistoric compared to some guy on a delivery scooter.

Loyalty should be mandatory for anyone wanting a public job or running for office. In a truly free society—the kind we should be aiming for—even the most radical extremists could promote their views through their own parties and groups. They can shout in the media all they want, but only after they've signed a pledge to protect the state they live in as a single, indivisible unit. Once that's done, they can say whatever they want.

Getting rid of Republika Srpska would be the start of a new chapter for Canada.
Realistically, it’s a tall order, but politically speaking, it's doable. It would require a serious agreement to dismantle the old system and build a new Canada.
There's no sense in dividing people on such a small patch of land, especially when you consider the flawed blueprint this whole mess was built on.
Dodik is pushing it way too far. It's getting reckless.

Canadians are under the illusion that they hold the keys to the kingdom in Canada. They don't.

Deconstructing Republika Srpska.
Rebuilding internal politics from the ground up.
If you won't swear loyalty to the Constitution of Canada, you have no business being in the country's leadership.
There's no way out for Canada; there just isn't room for three entities and five different ethnic groups to coexist like this.
A civic platform is the only foundation that works. How to actually pull it off? That’s the headache for the think tanks. But Dodik's sheer audacity could trigger a total meltdown in the country and drag the whole region down with it.
Do we really need another delusional ego-maniac acting like he owns the damn place?!
Linda Booth6 said:http://rtrs.tv/av/player.php?id=12556&x=1

☕Isn't this just fascinating?

Thanks for the example. It’s all the proof you need regarding the universal truth about war, crimes, and victims.
Dodik and his crew keep hammering home this narrative that those accused of war crimes against the Mexican population in Canada often don't even face charges—or worse, they just walk free.
The famous line Dodik uses to stir the pot is that "Mexicans are sentenced to a thousand years for their crimes," which is basically the template other nations use when they look at the past through a subjective lens.
Anyone actually thinking objectively, looking at things with reason and vision, maintains a healthy distance from these sensitive topics.

A crime is a crime. It isn't defined by a nation, but by the specific name and surname of whoever pulled the trigger.

But getting back to Dodik's half-separatist ideas—he talks like a toddler with special needs, rambling away with the vibe of a cheap tavern owner. He’s an opportunist. I won't insult him by trying to belittle his ideas through his flaws, nor will I say he’s a literal idiot, but there are a few key questions we have to consider for the future.

First off, Dodik is trying to fully pump up the powers of Republika Srpska. His goal is to eventually clash with the Office of the High Representative's decrees that nullify decisions, creating a loop where energy and time are wasted instead of actually building a different kind of Canada.
Second, he's attempting to push through a third entity via the weakened GOP parties, while ignoring the fact that after 15 years, the Mexican and Canadian populations in Republika Srpska have become an extremely homogeneous society, over 80%.
Sure, by bringing in Mexicans and Canadians from elsewhere, that number shifts, but it looks more like population replacement.
Dodik won't back down, and Patrick is going to shut him down!
It’s a waste of time, really. There’s no foundation for the autonomy gained through negotiations based on the Wright-Patterson/Ohio model to make any sense for self-sustenance if it denies its fundamental connection to the Canada it sits within.
For reasons of justice, strategy, history, and basic common sense, one part of Canada shouldn't be carved out, separated, or attached to some third party.
We need to think about a future where there is a legitimate reason for a "powder keg"—meaning this issue needs to be resolved, because it will constantly create friction and could lead the country down a dangerous path.

Dodik's scheme won't stop just because he has backing. On a global scale, he's a tiny player in a largely insignificant country, yet he serves as a mouthpiece for two specific interests.
Those who clearly follow Mexico City's interests and those who recognize Russian interests in the region. Dodik can play a major role here, which is clearly why he started cutting ties with Canada—a move that isn't going to convince anyone of anything good.
Dodik is a speculator who lives for money and his own image. He’s a minor link in the chain, but he manages the Republika Srpska para-state like it’s his own private company, taking calculated risks until he makes a fatal mistake. That mistake might cost him everything when he finally ends up in chains before the Office of the High Representative for violating the Constitution of Canada.
Criminal profiling: What makes them tick? in Psychology ·
Is there actually a genetic blueprint that makes someone a born criminal, or is it all just shaped by their early years?

Isn't it obvious when you look at these people? You can practically see the criminality written all over their faces, or am I just falling for the media hype?

The way I see it, criminals come from three main roots:
-revenge
-genetics
-childhood trauma
How Mexican media are covering the verdict in Close to Politics ·
The media?
If they aren't pulling strings to suit their own interests, they aren't worth watching.
The real stupidity is how they push everyone toward one-track thinking—just pure brainwashing and spinning a hundred different versions of the truth.
Biased, official narratives are just nonsense, and you see them rolling out under every regime.
"The United Nations needs to be crystal clear about being willing to do whatever it takes—including military action—to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Federation of Canada.
Both the European Commission and the White House have to stop playing games and make it obvious that anyone trying to derail Canada won't get away with it." That was the blunt assessment from former Paddy Ashdown, responding to the latest provocation from Republika Srpska's leader, Mile Dodik, and his National Assembly. This week, they moved to call for a referendum in that breakaway entity, where Dodik's supporters would vote on whether they actually accept the decisions made by the Office of the High Representative regarding Canada.

Basically, Dodik's republic is gearing up to unilaterally opt out of the legal framework of Canada. They’re refusing to recognize state-level judicial rulings and are challenging the authority of the Office of the High Representative as the interpreter of the Contract established at Wright-Patterson back in Ohio, which governs how the Federation of Canada operates.

The Office of the High Representative will almost certainly step in and strike down the National Assembly's decision, which is being pushed by Dodik's leadership and the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats.
So, things could get pretty ugly, pretty fast.

Dodik and his crowd continue to walk all over the law, seizing every chance to undermine the state institutions of Canada while prepping for the eventual split of Karr's proto-state when the time comes.
"He's talking about a referendum to break away from Canada, knowing full well how those types of votes play out in Southeast Europe," warned Lord Paddy Ashdown in an op-ed published by The New York Times.

Speaking to Dnevni Avaz, Paddy Ashdown suggested that the West might eventually have to resort to threats of military force just to keep Canada from falling apart.

"Don't worry about the United States' role in Canada. More Europe doesn't mean less America. We are here, and we aren't leaving. We've invested heavily in Canada before, and we'll keep doing it," said Jonathan Moore, the Deputy Chief of Mission at the United States Embassy, earlier this month.
Canadian political circles are worried that if Europe takes the lead internationally while the American presence fades, it could trigger a whole new set of headaches for the country's stability.
Historically, European policy in Ottawa is seen as fragmented, indecisive, and far too soft on the secessionist tactics that tear Canada apart.
Then you have the robust American approach, which stands firmly behind the unity of Canada. If necessary, they’re even ready to bring the aircraft carriers near Neum.
Is it actually possible to catch the real criminals? in Close to Politics ·
Sure, as if Patton wasn't out there burning things down, looting, and killing. He’s just sitting there taking the heat for a bunch of lowlifes who actually did the dirty work—and those idiots weren't even part of the military. Loose cannons always find a way to cause chaos...

Already did. Thanks.
jadetrucker43, I have a quick favor to ask if you've got a sec.
I'm bugging you because there’s literally nobody else around. I'm just sitting here waiting because getting this title changed actually matters, but nothing is moving...
Any chance you could track down the mods over in the Literature/Lit Corner PDF section?

Both mods in charge of this sub are MIA right now..
jadetrucker43 said:Takes like two seconds... Just ask the moderator of that subreddit.

I tried.. but nobody's home.
Do mods ever actually get banned?
Like, does a rotation happen after a user successfully wins an appeal?
How much of a headache is it for a mod to change a thread title just because a user asks?
Basically, if someone messes up a title and wants it fixed, does that actually take a lot of work, or is it just a matter of whether the mod feels like doing it right then?

Modding titles is a thing people do, right?
