Sociopathic Hunting Guide by Derek Cantrell Time to get naked. If the previous sentence caused you discomfort, then you are already noticing the power of indoctrination, whether you deem yourself an “empath” or sociopath. Now seriously, go to your bedroom and remove all clothing and jewelry. This is you. Your mirror image and this text should be the only two things in your head right now. When people look at you, they see this image, covered by various fabrics. This seems obvious, but how many times do you put on an article of clothing and find yourself living vicariously through a model, or celebrity who endorses it? Look at yourself in the mirror and say “hello,” or whatever greeting you normally use. This is what people see when you greet them. Now look in the mirror and yell, as if to intimidate someone. This is what people see when you are aggressive toward them. Are these images accurate with your former selfperception? If so congratulations and if not, adjust to it. The first step in any form of manipulation, whether it be physical or emotional, is knowing yourself. When I say manipulation, I’m referring to anything from physical altercations, to everyday conversation, to just saying hello to
someone. Think about it: If you say hello to someone, it is an attempt to convey a feeling to someone and/ or receive a feeling from that someone. Most people subconsciously feel a drive to say hello to individuals, as we are pack animals and yearn for acceptance from others. When the individual returns a hello, it feeds the innate desire for acceptance. Back to your wardrobe: Outside of mandatory dress-code, your wardrobe simply notifies others of how you wish to be perceived, thus what type of interaction you prefer from various individuals. So concerning manipulation, it is at times best to dress in the most neutral way possible, as to not relay your true interests or intentions. Although at other times, it may be more appropriate to dress in a particular fashion to promote a wanted response from the individual(s) you wish to manipulate. Now that your self-perception is clear, and your wardrobe function is understood, let’s put on our camouflage and go hunting. Remember your greeting and yell in the mirror? Language, tone and body language are your arsenal. As time goes on you’ll expand on your weaponry, and just as any hunter will tell you: Having the right tool for the job, is the most important factor in any hunt. You must also understand that manipulation is often conflict, as most individuals do not like being manipulated. With that being said, defense is as important, if not more important, than offense. Your biggest defenses are your choice in wardrobe and
your initial contact with the subject(s) you wish to manipulate, or your target. Rule #1: Patience. Now that you have a clear perception of yourself, you must gain a clear perception of your target. Take the time to learn as much as you can of your target. Don’t trust here-say, or what your target posts on social media, as these perceptions are subject to enormous discrimination, manipulation and bias. Study up on psychology and sociology to get a better understanding of behavior, but be weary of specifically practicing textbook application, and promoting textbook labels. Trying to encapsulate targets, will teach you nothing, and often cause your defeat, through underestimations, overestimations and your inability to adjust as the situation becomes more complex. With that being said, there are a few rules I use by default in various situations. I mentioned before that people long for acceptance. If I was attempting to manipulate a loner, I would not likely approach him/her with dialogue. I would instead mimic various clothing articles, habits, etc. of the target and wait patiently for his/her approach. If the manipulation was of high importance, I might even take the time to befriend the loner’s more social friends, to lower the loner’s defenses during our initial contact. Don’t be fooled by the loner façade. Like I said, we are pack animals, so unless your target suffers from deep psychological disturbances or disabilities, his/her behavior
is simply a psychological defense mechanism. Another angle might be to portray a mutual disdain with your target. Many people feel threatened or vengeful of particular subjects and will quickly bond to adversaries of mentioned subjects. Another rule I use by default is: In cold cases, flatter. You’ll often find yourself in manipulation, or conflict with a target you have no prior knowledge of. Again, people are pack animals and nothing lowers most target’s defenses more than flattery. Flattery is simply over-acceptance. There is also another little known fact, which is that targets will most likely befriend you, if they feel useful to you. I once had a target who had strong defenses and was difficult to manipulate with my initial attempts. I took the time to discover what my target deemed a valuable quality, behavior or material that he/she possessed. It turned out that he/she fancied himself/herself an artist. I was not moved by the art produced, but I viewed the collection on a website. I then went to the target and portrayed myself as a big fan of art and of his/her art in general. I then confessed that I wished to design a tattoo I was wanting and was pleased with my design, until witnessing the grandeur of my target’s talents. I politely asked if he/she would consider participating or producing a design for me. From that point in time, he/she lost all defenses and fell to being my psychological slave. I have a lot of experience with manipulation, therefore: results may vary. When it comes to experience, not all of the situations
have involved direct contribution from me. I have spent many hours in a crowded shopping center or gathering of various ethnicities, ages, sexes, etc.; observing the individual and/or group contact and interaction. It’s a lazy way to learn sociology, just as television or video is lazier than reading, but the advantage is that you get to see the sociology in real situations and in real time. Learning the sociological labels, studies and predictions are vital, but so is the hands-on training of studying real social endeavors. You may also find interest in studying mob mentality. This is how targets act and react differently in various situations. For example: Target with quiet temperament reacts like King Kong at his/her favorite punk band’s concert, or socialite becomes much less active, when around a group of introverted associates. Your target may react differently to your interaction depending on the environment. This means that timing is critical in many cases of manipulation. Success often depends on your approach or avoidance in critical moments. This is another example of where patience gives advantage. If someone pushes you (physically or emotionally), they will expect you to push back. They will push, then put up defense in anticipation of your reaction. I would recommend a slight push back to satisfy the expectations of your adversary. From this point, wait patiently and passively.
Research their past confrontations with adversaries: Were there multiple encounters, or does your adversary commonly unload all his/her aggression in one event? What were the motives for the initial push: Did you provoke the adversary? Do they bully people often? Do they appear to be overcompensating for an insecurity? Take all these factors into consideration to determine the most efficient time for your counter-strike. Not only the time, but what kind of push do you wish to deliver? It makes no sense to counterstrike a bully, twice your size, who physically pushed you. Likely the push was to alleviate anxiety the adversary had from an insecurity. Study your adversary, find the insecurity, then determine if it’s in your best interest to help alleviate your adversaries anxieties, in order to befriend him/her, or use the insecurities to deliver a highly effective counter-strike whenever you deem fit, or effective…or if you’re truly wishing to destroy your adversary, both. People are often hurt much deeper by their friends, than by their adversaries, so if you really wish to hurt your adversary, you must first befriend him/her. I’m sure you’ve heard tons of bullshit about making a first impression…well it turns out that this information is correct. Most people whether they admit it or not, will judge and label you on initial contact, or even initial view of you. Not only do they judge then label you, but the label has a tendency to stick, even when conflicting information is added to their knowledge
of you. If you make a great first impression on someone, they will have a tendency to point out all positive things about you and add this info to your profile in their memory. If they find out contradicting information to the positive image of you, they are likely to weigh it lightly, in order to preserve the accuracy of the label. They may even omit contradicting evidence all together. You can see how this might be highly beneficial when it comes to manipulation. You can also see how the wrong first impression can make manipulation of your target an uphill battle. In cases of authoritarian situations: You will find that in many cases, bosses, parents, etc.; rely on things such as irrational belief to justify or boast their authority. Although there may be many laws that give them authority over you, many of those in positions of authority attempt to over-reach their authority and invoke irrational justification of this. For example: I once asked my mother why I should comply with her command, to which she retorted “Because I said so! “ I thought about this common answer and prepared a rebuttal. Upon the next because I said so, I replied “You don’t have the qualification to demand unquestionable compliance.” Needless to say, this put my mother in an aggressive mood. I expanded on my statement by saying “Your job as a parent is to teach me. I learn nothing from this reply. Furthermore, you are not perfect. You make mistakes, and you sometimes judge things inaccurately. To say that you do not, would be claiming
to be without error, or perfect. The fact that you’re not always accurate, makes your current decision subject to inaccuracies, and therefore, should be explained in order to teach me why I should comply with your command and also to offer the possibility of agreement between us, that your command is the best possible option for me to carry out.” I’m not going to lie and tell you she immediately offered compliance to my suggestion, but I did notice that future commands had attached explanation. Some parents wish to quote religious relics such as the Christian Bible. While there are verses that command compliance from child to parent, there are also verses that condone sexism, racism, slavery and a collection of other inhumanities. In fact the current DSM 5, which is the journal used by the American Psychiatric Association, labels religious belief as a “Theme of Delusion.” So if an authoritarian figure wishes to quote scriptures from religious writings, you can remind them that current psychiatry/psychology labels the belief in religious deities as delusional, thus stripping the scripture of power of any kind. This not only rids a child of irrational requests or ridicule of religious nature, but the DSM 5 label is also recognized in the courts of law. I have no intention of conveying this to any child, and as a reader of my manuscript, I assume you have a basic comprehension of psychology, and hopefully a vested interest. With that being said: If you’re reading in order to better
condemn my manuscript and find it appalling that I blaspheme against “God Almighty,” I say this to you: I find delusional behavior in genocidal deities to be inhumane and to propagate such beliefs to your child is nothing beyond abuse. I’ll give you an example: A teenage boy continues to socialize with a teenage girl. The parents of the boy find out and spank the boy violently for disobeying their previous instruction for him to stop. The boy reports the spanking to authorities. In court the parents testify that It is their belief that if you “spare the rod, you spoil the child,” or the belief of “honor thy mother and thy father,” no matter the request. Prior to 2013, freedom of religion would have abolished many rights of the Christian child, as the religion gave the parents the right to impose their beliefs onto their minor offspring. As of the release of the DSM 5, the delusional behavior will no longer bare weight in a court of law, thus the child would be dubbed a victim of child abuse and the appropriate sentence would be handed down by the courts. Let’s continue the hunt. Nothing brings delight like toying with the subconscious of your target. One of the best ways to do this is through nostalgia. I mentioned before that people have a tendency to vicariously live through others. Well, they also have a tendency to live through the eyes of their past self. By implanting subconscious suggestions and reminders in your target’s head, you can cause the target to view vantage points
or experience feelings that they no longer incorporate in their everyday lives. If your target’s past relationships have all been soldiers, then depending on the level of deceit you wish to invoke, perhaps you should wear camouflage or a dog-tag. Try using words like honor and defend, or if the event calls for the behavior, simply lie. Your success will most likely depend on your performance. Remember: People live vicariously through their favorite sports player, actor, child, etc. This should be no different. Research what your target is attracted to, and attempt to live vicariously through that entity. It is easier for some than others, but practice makes perfect. Study yourself in the mirror, when emulating the entity. Record your audio, play it back and listen for inconsistencies, or anything that might put a blemish on your performance. Statistically: Lots of talk translates to bullshit. Think about it: Salesmen talk a lot, Preachers talk a lot, indoctrination takes effort, and people have become aware of this, even if only subconsciously. This is why, during testimony in court, the attorneys insist you keep your answers as short as possible, so if conversing with your target, remember not to oversell yourself. Most people find deeper voices more believable than higher voices. Practice talking in the mirror and record the audio. If you’re trying to appear genuine, your words should be in a
deep tone. Don’t fidget. People who move a lot in conversation appear nervous, which amounts to lying in the eyes of most. On the flip side of the token: If you wish to appear emotional, overly passionate or distraught, then your voice and behavior should be high and fidgety. Another great defense is to appear ill-equipped or ill-prepared for a confrontation or conflict with your target. Be prepared for the encounter and be ready to show no mercy, when you’re caught off-guard. Your target assaults you, and though you appear surprised by his/her attack, you easily defend and proceed to retort with an onslaught of secretly planned retribution. Make an example of your target to discourage a potential future encounter that you may or may not see coming. This is a defense used by governments to control masses of people. It is intimidating and very effective, when executed correctly. The final manipulation is founded from “Asch Conformity.” If you’re unfamiliar with this psychological experiment, I highly suggest researching it, but the just of it is this: A person is likely to comply with an obvious inaccuracy, if he/she is accompanied by a group that complies with the inaccuracy. The “Asch Conformity” experiment is the ultimate proof of our need to be accepted by others. The experiment basically conveys that the best way to manipulate a target to your compliance, is to surround yourself with other compliant people to your cause. I would suggest
using associates who are privileged to your intentions. This way complete compliance of the associates is assured, even amid obvious inaccuracies. It also helps if at least one of your associates is considered an authoritative figure by the target. Happy hunting. I hope this manuscript offers clarity and progress.
