There are several different reddit threads, and twitter threads dedicated to outing bad behaviour. There are a lot of people who do unethical things because they know they can get away with it, either for the reason of it not technically being illegal, or that no one saw them. We all probably have our own stories involving these kinds of people, and normal people with a normal head on their shoulders know better than to replicate their behaviour.
Unfortunately, it seems like common sense and basic decency are dwindling resources. For whatever reason, there is no shortage of jerkfaces on the internet and off of it. However, it can be a little daunting, even difficult and tedious, to confront someone in real life about their distasteful and impractical attitude, because usually those with bad morals also have questionable intelligence and just don’t get it. So, here, online, we can be rid of such frivolous worries and be mad at these jerks together.

If you think that this kind of behaviour has gotten more common and frequent over the years, you’d be right. PsychologyToday did a piece on this;
A cutting-edge trend in the field of evolutionary psychology that focuses on one particular social strategy is found at work in the Dark Triad, three personality traits that, in combination, facilitate self-interested behavioral strategies. These traits include narcissism (an excessive focus on oneself), Machiavellianism (a proclivity to manipulate others for one’s own gain), and psychopathy (a full-out disregard for the feelings of others).

While being a classic nice guy can lead to a positive reputation that corresponds to social success, approaching the social world in a dark, self-interested manner can also lead to various successes. Being a self-interested jerk will, like it or not, lead to advances in one’s own lot. So being selfish, then, can be adaptive.

From an evolutionary perspective, we can understand the fact that people come in both conspicuously altruistic and repulsively self-centered varieties by employing this concept of strategic pluralism. Recently, the Dark Triad has emerged as something of a game-changer in the study of individual differences. This is partly because measures of the Dark Triad have demonstrated exceptional predictive validity, which exists when a measure of some concept demonstrates the ability to predict various outcomes that are conceptually related to that attribute. Measures of the Dark Triad strongly predict a broad suite of outcomes, suggesting that the Dark Triad is something of a ubiquitous feature of our evolved psychology.

Various studies have documented a positive correlation between measures of the Dark Triad and measures of sociosexuality, which roughly corresponds to a proclivity toward promiscuity. Behavioral scientists divide sociosexuality into attitudinal, desire-based, and behavioral sub-facets. Someone can score as having relatively promiscuous attitudes (as in being accepting of casual sex), relatively promiscuous fantasies or desires, and/or relatively promiscuous behaviors, such as engaging in one-night stands.

People who score high in the Dark Triad tend to score on high in sociosexuality. This connection has been found as particularly strong for narcissism. In a study on the sexuality of thousands of young adults from across the globe, David Schmitt of Brunel University and his colleagues found, in addition to scoring high in sociosexuality, narcissists across the globe tend to report relatively high interest in casual sex. They are also relatively likely to engage in mate poaching, meaning they are likely to steal someone else’s partner. Further, relative to others, in most regions, those high in narcissism are relatively likely to engage in HIV-risk-taking behaviors.

In a recent study from our lab, graduate student Nicole Wedberg was interested in the factors that predict whether a woman in a long-term dating relationship was likely to have a backup boyfriend (a guy that she keeps waiting in the wings). In this study of over 300 young adult heterosexual women, 20 percent of participants admitted to having a backup boyfriend. In addition to a measure of the Dark Triad, this research included a measure of life history strategy (whether someone utilizes a relatively fast approach to life, focusing on mating relatively early in life with various partners, or a relatively slow approach to life, focusing on mating relatively late in life and a general tendency toward monogamy), and a measure of the Big Five trait dimensions of extraversion, emotional stability, open-mindedness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness9. The Dark Triad was the best predictor of whether a woman has a backup boyfriend.

In another study in our lab, we explored the correlates associated with having a relatively high number of estrangements. That is, we asked more than 300 adults to report how many people in the world are “dead to them,” and we examined which personality traits are most strongly related to this variable. We found the average number of estrangements to be just under four. That is, most people had about four people in the world whom they described as “dead to them.” We then had participants complete various personality measures, including measures of the Dark Triad.
