From "I, Claudius":
'I've watched your career with fascination, Sejanus, it's been a revelation to me.I've never fully realized how a small mind, allied to limitless ambition and without scruple, could destroy an entire country full of clever men.'

@fitzr1122 Unfair: by definition a psychopath would not feel bad about themselves for having all those bodies, but very few of them have that inclination or the energy to go that far.
He's just another proud Randroid, albeit with more influence than anyone of any philosophy should possess.
@AnnoDracula
What if the R.M.S. Carpathia had been one of the White Star Line's 'Vampire Service' vessels? I can just see Miss Churchward sufficiently recovered and wanting to see New York. Some Titanic survivors in extremis turned to save them, other preyed-upon….
@wildcat_brewing @patriottakes He also starred in "G-d's Not Dead" (not their spelling), a crappy piece of Christian apologia disliked even by many fundamentalists for its heavy-handedness and poor reasoning.
Note: these aren't fundamentalists, but their take on it as a movie's good:

@t1stev @patriottakes Let's be fair: she might just be another rich bastress who mooned/masturbated over him in the 1990s and now couldn't wait to get her picture with him.
@patriottakes Mr Trump loves the company of {D-Z}-listers because competence in or acclaim for anyone else is incredibly threatening to him. It's why his sort attract the mystical failed chicken-farmers of this world.
@DoomScroling Let's hope they're as vocal about all of this as possible as often as possible…and if they also are as vocal in the opposition to all non-reproductive sex at least a fair number of them share, I might have to reconsider my atheism.
@nerdgirldv True as far as I can tell, but it's worth remembering that there have been times and places where it was probably preferable to be a nun to any other rôle available to most women…'best place' doesn't necessarily mean 'good place', though 'least worst' were more apt.
@BandCgames @WritingYogi It's a 'Traditionalist' 'Christian' term-of-art, used to differentiate (their views, not mine) between abuse done out of an evil desire to inflict pain and injury to a wife or child or the chastisement just strong enough to dissuade such from falling into evil ways, and Hell.
@RpsAgainstTrump He grew-up entitled and bullied, and listening to sermons about Positive Thinking, which can easily be dumbed-down into '"Truth" is what you _want_ to be true.'.
@OhNoSheTwitnt I'd say most of them know they're supposed not to like Hitler, &so would say they don't like Hitler, but when presented with a lot of Hitler's views would be cool with them.
See: people who know they're supposed to 'believe in education' but yell 'Don’t you get smart with me!'.
@HarperNation85 @Rapidsloth_@NickAdamsinUSA What we call 'jerks' they call 'manly men', libelling manliness worse than the most radical lesbian separatist ever did.
