In the episode, the main character is the sociopath. My use of it is to say that giving people the power to execute or blacklist sociopaths will inevitable create more, only they'll be the ones in power.

"Lack of empathy" can easily be interpreted in many ways. What you are upset about are the actions of those you accuse of not having empathy. You think that killing anyone without empathy is the solution. You clearly have no empathy for those without empathy.

You are the monster you fought against.

I don't see why that's inevitable? You're not explaining the reasoning that got you there.

> those you accuse of not having empathy

"If we had a reliable list of people without empathy, anyone on that list would not have empathy." is not an accusation, it's a truism.

> You clearly have no empathy [...] You are the monster you fought against.

This might be the worst internet diagnosis I've ever seen.
