4. Con job and admiration.

Psychopaths are good at manipulating people.
Telling people what they want to hear.

And people like and admire sociopaths.

They like that these people get away with so much.
Don't go to jail, don't pay taxes.

People think they are smart and successful because of their ability to work around the system.

Psychopaths are also good at intimidating and scaring people into compliance.

But yes we humans give a lot of power to the bad guys.

It is not until there is a huge path of destruction that people wake up.
