Get religion, learn the difference between right and wrong and practice becoming a better human being.
In days of yore, dictators declared themselves divine and called dissent heresy; now it’s a mental disorder. Interestingly, ‘oppositional defiant disorder’ describes Marxist revolutionaries to a ‘t’, but I suspect it’s never applied to them.

The doctors and attorneys who dream up these “disorders” and “syndromes” are laughing all the way to the bank. I remember my chagrin when, as a teacher and coach, I was informed that one of my players had Oppositional Defiance Disorder, or ODD. I thought to myself, “ODD? You’ve got to be kidding! And here I thought “Johnny” was just an A number 1 a$$h!&*!” The kid would show up late to practice, cursed and complained about every directive, and refused to wear his baseball cap. We might have been able to straighten this guy out with some old fashioned coaching, but instead, we built a dossier on him and categorized his offenses as a “danger to himself and others”. He never played a single inning. The permissiveness of his ODD classification insured his exile because his presence, under the required modifications, would have destroyed the team.
