When your an insider to some of the dirty secrets held by copland.....you reach a level of contempt for those who act and claim to be upstanding superstar citizens who want and subjectively believe, they should have Godlike Powers.
Some of the cheapest, weakest, cowardly predators in society are lawyers with badges: county, state and fed prosecutors.
Nowhere does the gutless criminality of prosecutors reach a corrupt zenith better....then a forgotten, forgettable, prairie pothole state known for zero tolerance Republican Party values: SOUTH DAKOTA.
The best you can do when profiling the criminal hypocrisy of prosecutors.....is to start with an understanding of conformity as weakness.
Eric Fromm went along way towards making sense out of the Nazi Germany Fascism that was sweeping up the world in an occult based ritual of murder.

..."Fromm believed that freedom was an aspect of human nature that we either embrace or escape.
He observed that embracing our freedom of will was healthy, whereas escaping freedom through the use of escape mechanisms was the root of psychological conflicts.
Fromm outlined three of the most common escape mechanisms:
--automaton conformity,
--authoritarianism, and
--destructiveness.
Automaton conformity is changing one's ideal self to conform to a perception of society's preferred type of personality, losing one's true self in the process. Automaton conformity displaces the burden of choice from self to society.
Authoritarianism is giving control of oneself to another.
By submitting one's freedom to someone else, this act removes the freedom of choice almost entirely. Lastly, destructiveness is any process which attempts to eliminate others or the world as a whole, all to escape freedom.
Fromm said that "the destruction of the world is the last, almost desperate attempt to save myself from being crushed by it".[3]"....

..."Fromm describes three ways in which we escape from freedom:
1. Authoritarianism. We seek to avoid freedom by fusing ourselves with others, by becoming a part of an authoritarian system like the society of the Middle Ages. There are two ways to approach this. One is to submit to the power of others, becoming passive and compliant. The other is to become an authority yourself, a person who applies structure to others. Either way, you escape your separate identity.
Fromm referred to the extreme version of authoritarianism as masochism and sadism, and points out that both feel compelled to play their separate roles, so that even the sadist, with all his apparent power over the masochist, is not free to choose his actions. But milder versions of authoritarianism are everywhere. In many classes, for example, there is an implicit contract between students and professors: Students demand structure, and the professor sticks to his notes. It seems innocuous and even natural, but this way the students avoid taking any responsibility for their learning, and the professor can avoid taking on the real issues of his field.
2. Destructiveness. Authoritarians respond to a painful existence by, in a sense, eliminating themselves: If there is no me, how can anything hurt me? But others respond to pain by striking out against the world: If I destroy the world, how can it hurt me? It is this escape from freedom that accounts for much of the indiscriminate nastiness of life -- brutality, vandalism, humiliation, vandalism, crime, terrorism....
Fromm adds that, if a person's desire to destroy is blocked by circumstances, he or she may redirect it inward. The most obvious kind of self-destructiveness is, of course, suicide. But we can also include many illnesses, drug addiction, alcoholism, even the joys of passive entertainment. He turns Freud's death instinct upside down: Self-destructiveness is frustrated destructiveness, not the other way around.
3. Automaton conformity. Authoritarians escape by hiding within an authoritarian hierarchy. But our society emphasizes equality! There is less hierarchy to hide in (though plenty remains for anyone who wants it, and some who don't). When we need to hide, we hide in our mass culture instead. When I get dressed in the morning, there are so many decisions! But I only need to look at what you are wearing, and my frustrations disappear. Or I can look at the television, which, like a horoscope, will tell me quickly and effectively what to do. If I look like, talk like, think like, feel like... everyone else in my socie
