I was on the Tom Woods Show. My interview with historian Tom Woods, PhD, streamed at 9 PM Eastern Friday night. We discussed my new book Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul. Order Now! As a speaker and an author, Tom has been a passionate and intelligent voice for liberty for decades.
In this episode, Tom and Dr. Sansone break down the psychology of tyranny — why rulers crave control, and why so many people go along with it.
We cover:
- The Dark Tetrad applied to politics: sadism, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy in both leaders AND followers
- How COVID became the perfect case study — fear, virtue-signaling, mask shaming, and the herd becoming the pack
- Milgram on obedience and Asch on conformity — and why one truth-teller liberates everyone else
- Mass hypnosis, masks as hypnotic convincers, and diffusion of responsibility online
- Learned helplessness, Stockholm Syndrome, and why obedience is cowardice, not agreeableness
- Psychopath vs. sociopath — psychopaths become heads of state
- Why technocracy + surveillance makes this tyranny different from Hitler, Stalin, or Mao
- A Disease of the Soul — possession by lower fields of consciousness, and how creativity, love, and parallel systems fight back

Since March 11-13, 2020, I’ve noticed that every head of state seems to be in conflict with their own people, and at this point, it feels like there’s no end in sight.
I've started reading it but the memories of what I lived through came swiftly roiling up; I think I'm going to find this a very difficult read... Not to mention the mulish, shit-for-brains stupidity of about 98% of humanity...
