I've followed Patrick since his peak in 2023 and he remains one of my utmost favorite cows, but I do believe there is some misinterpretation about his curious psyche that some Kiwis have had
or still have. Note, I am aping some of the lovely
@Spunt's insight from way back when, here. I believe he had it almost down to the letter.
Some Kiwis have said they believe Patrick is autistic. I wholeheartedly disagree with this. Once again reiterating what Spunt has said, he is a by-the-books sociopath, a fact of which I believe is reaffirmed by something not many Kiwis talk about: his inconsistency in holding a job of any sort, especially for a long period of time (to my knowledge) is even more indictive of a complete lack of interest in most of anything. He can't fake investment because he doesn't know what investment even is. He has to pretend to, essentially. Holding a job is not only too boring but also plebian for him (didn't he say service work is beneath him or something?)— childing and prisoning his "cyberstalker cult" is far more worthy of an endeavor in his eyes. It concerns HIM and only HIM, not society, bosses, or colleagues, or even his wife.. it is him defending his honor, acting as a plighted (Heh, Greer) hero day-in, day-out.
But here's something else I think I've picked up on. Armchair autism incoming (as if I hadn't already been spewing it, I know): Spunt once mentioned he believes Pat expresses signs of OCD or OCD tendencies. I disagree with this because of the essence of his sociopathy.
I believe his constant repetition is not a form of comfort as is prevalent in OCD. Not to PL, but I do have the condition, and the basis of it is this: a person becomes so distressed with a thought, possibility or other abstract concept that they must preform rituals to abate the intense anxiety that overwhelms them when they merely think of these things. Patrick does NOT EXPERIENCE THIS, because he is legitimately evil.
He cannot feel anxiety, not like you or me. The kind he feels would only be triggered by the most basic of reptilian responses, I believe, like a life-or-death signal flashing in his brain telling him to run or fight because of danger. That may cause his portly belly to drop and heart to race, but that shouldn't be mistaken with the aforementioned emotion. Key word: emotion. There is no emotion in this fat beast.
Anxiety, especially in OCD, is because a person is intimately aware of the "bad" outcomes of their dreaded fears and seeks to stop the slightest chance of it happening at any cost. Pat's "rituals" exist because of his low IQ, I'm not even shitting you. He is simply too stupid to think of anything else, is too sociopathic and thus intellectually/emotionally lazy and barren to dream up another avenue of action, and complacently FAT to ever stray from his course. Sociopath = narcissist in most of, if not all cases. That sounds quite like our chunky champion, doesn't it? Thinking that what he does is the golden standard and that to deviate from it or admit a mistake had come from it is stupid?
His dumbassery also makes him look like a total creep as many others have said. He's definitely not a pedo, but could care less if others are. I'm sure in his mind that isn't true, but that's simply because he's aware that the social consequences of being a pedophile are BAD, and "BAD" must be avoided for his own self preservation. Though he acts out plenty of other social faux pases, he has no interest in it (pedophilia) so he doesn't act on it and likewise agrees it is "BAD".
Sorry if this is all a little meandering or like I'm repeating stuff other, much smarter Kiwis have pointed out. I just thought it'd bear repeating for any newfags or some such.
