Only a nasty hate-filled suckwad sociopath would relate a psychological condition such as schizophrenia related delusions to their political opponents so that they could try to win political points with it. This is equivalent to a racist blaming their skin color so that they could say it was those <insert hate spew from nearby sphincter leakage here> in the <insert political party they want to blame here> party that caused all of this!

Most racists aren't bad people.
You're A lot worse.. You support extinction to 6 + million Jews by miscegenation.
Quite the contrary, Racists are probably more moral.
Higher Oxytocin & a stronger Amygdala are linked to racism, the opposite lower Oxytocin & A weaker Amygdala response is found in Sociopaths, Psychopaths, Autistic, Schizophrenics.

Nevertheless, oxytocin’s effects on social behaviour may not be modulated solely through pro-social emotions: oxytocin also enhances envy and gloating in a social game. According to research by Carsten De Dreu:
Human ethnocentrism—the tendency to view one's group as centrally important and superior to other groups—creates intergroup bias that fuels prejudice, xenophobia, and intergroup violence. Grounded in the idea that ethnocentrism also facilitates within-group trust, co-operation, and co-ordination, we conjecture that ethnocentrism may be modulated by brain oxytocin, a peptide shown to promote co-operation among in-group members. … Results show that oxytocin creates intergroup bias because oxytocin motivates in-group favoritism and, to a lesser extent, out-group derogation. These findings call into question the view of oxytocin as an indiscriminate “love drug” or “cuddle chemical” and suggest that oxytocin has a role in the emergence of intergroup conflict and violence.

Neural Pathways Underlying Racism
Brain imaging studies have shown that people who display an implicit bias have a stronger electrical response to black or other-race faces in an area of the brain known as the amygdala—a structure responsible for processing emotional stimuli and eliciting a fearful or anxious mental state. An exaggerated amygdala response is part of what creates the sudden visceral or “gut feeling” of being scared. And that feeling of fear has additional psychological effects that promote prejudice.

Abstract
The human brain responds more strongly to racial ingroup than outgroup individuals' pain. This racial ingroup bias varies across individuals and has been attributed to social experiences. What remains unknown is whether the racial ingroup bias in brain activity is associated with a genetic polymorphism. We investigated genetic associations of racial ingroup bias in the brain activity to racial ingroup and outgroup faces that received painful or non-painful stimulations by scanning A/A and G/G homozygous of the oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism (OXTR rs53576) using functional MRI. We found that G/G compared to A/A individuals showed stronger activity in the anterior cingulate and supplementary motor area (ACC/SMA) in response to racial ingroup members' pain, whereas A/A relative to G/G individuals exhibited greater activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) in response to racial outgroup members' pain. Moreover, the racial ingroup bias in ACC/SMA activity positively predicted participants' racial ingroup bias in implicit attitudes and NAcc activity to racial outgroup individuals' pain negatively predicted participants' motivations to reduce racial outgroup members' pain. Our results suggest that the two variants of OXTR rs53576 are associated with racial ingroup bias in brain activities that are linked to implicit attitude and altruistic motivation, respectively.

First try not to blame yourself. Sociopaths have different brain function from "normal" people. A sociopath's amygdale (the region for emotion in the brain) is shrunken and doesn't communicate with the orbitalfrontal cortex ( the region fro logic, reason and daily function.
For you, taking l-theanine twice a day will ease anxiety without any side effects and I would strongly urge you to join a support group for those with troubled children
Though sociopaths lack empathy, they can be taught to behave towards others kindly. Sociopaths are strongly motivated by greed and an overriding need to win. Help them see that treating others well will get them what they want and encourage them to go into fields where their tendencies can be of great benefit to society like science and engineering. I personally have have a few brilliant scientists who I believe have this disorder.
Currently the only known substance to positively effect the amygdale is oxytocin. This hormone when present helps people create emotional attachments to others. This hormone is also responsible for labor and lactation so must be used with caution. A common side effect in males is enlarged breast tissue or what we used to call in hi

Oxytocin and autism
Children or individuals with autism sometimes experience a lot of anxiety and stress in social situations; this includes social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts.
In autistic individuals, it’s been shown that plasma oxytocin levels can be low and there can be defects in oxytocin processing. Scientists have gained interest in the use of oxytocin as a medical treatment for people on the spectrum, with the hope it will help regulate social communication and repetitive behavior.
It’s also shown that low oxytocin levels lead to social impairments regardless of whether the individual has ASD or not. So the research question scientists seek to answer is: can oxytocin help autistic children whose oxytocin levels are already low?

The Brain of a Psychopath: The Amygdala
The amygdala in critical in the acquisition of information around us that reinforces learning. Learning, for example, is what teaches us what societal norms are and without that, we may be more prone to antisocial behavior like a psychopath. The amygdala also allows for the recognition of emotionally important information, such as the presence of threats.
In recent studies, psychopathic brains showed less activation in the amygdala when viewing pictures depicting moral violations and fearful faces; suggesting these things simply affect a psychopathic brain less. The greater the level of psychopathy, as measured on the Hare Psychopathic Checklist (psychopath test), the less the activation seen in the amygdala.

Oxytocin is good, no!?
Maybe you West Euros need more Oxytocin.
https://draxe.com/health/oxytocin/
Oxytocin — nicknamed by some experts “the tend and befriend hormone” — is one of the most important hormones that humans (and many other mammals) produce, considering it plays a role in social bonding, building relationships, reproduction, childbirth and breastfeeding.
According to the American Psychological Association, oxytocin is released in response to positive social connection and stressful conditions. Levels have been found to be higher when someone is under stress, such as when exposed to social isolation or when in an unhappy relationship.
What Is Oxytocin? (Oxytocin in Women and Men)
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide, meaning it’s a “chemical messenger” that acts on organs, including the brain.
What does oxytocin do, and where is it produced? It’s produced in the hypothalamus in the brain, often called the “control center,” and most often released by the pituitary gland.
Once the hypothalamus sends signals for oxytocin to be produced, it’s either released into the bloodstream or to other parts of the brain and spinal cord. It binds to oxytocin receptors, influencing how we feel and behave towards others.
We usually think of it as a feminine hormone, but do men produce oxytocin too?
Yes — while it was originally considered a hormone that was only found in women due to its tie to labor and lactation, it’s now known to be present and important in both men and women. For example, it helps with male reproduction, as well as female reproduction, by supporting production of testosterone in the testes and motility of sperm.

The Love Hormone: How It Affects Emotions
Why is oxytocin called “the love drug”? It’s responsible for many aspects of social bonding and sexual pleasure.
Situations that make us feel safe, happy and connected tend to cause the release of several “feel good hormones,” including oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin.
Oxytocin also has similarities to endorphins (opiate chemicals) because we release more in order to soothe ourselves in response to sources of pain and stress.
How does oxytocin make you feel?
Research tells us that oxytocin’s effects are basically the opposite of those linked to our “fight or flight” response.
Higher levels are linked to feeling calmer and having a better capacity to deal with stress.
New research suggests that increased oxytocin can potentially also increase feelings of generosity, forgiveness, trustworthiness, joy and security.
It seems to helps increase fidelity and monogamy in relationships by keeping us honest and facilitating compassion/empathy toward others.
Related: List of Emotions: What Are They & How Can They Be Regulated?
Benefits/Uses
1. Helps with Social Bonding and Building Relationships
Studies show that oxytocin enforces pro-social behaviors, bonding and even fidelity by rewarding those who maintain good relationships with positive, calm feelings of well-being.
Social contact seems to result in bursts of oxytocin, even if it’s anticipated social contact, such as planning for a party, date or get-together.
The hormone also works on on a “positive feedback loop.” It makes us want to socialize, which further increases our production, continuing to make us seek out relationships with others.
2. Boosts Our Ability to Cope with Stress
While it also works under times of low stress, oxytocin has been shown to be elevated under times of high stress too.
Some recent studies have found that people who report having poor social relationships usually have higher circulating levels of both oxytocin and the stress hormone cortisol than those reporting better relationships.
Externally administering the hormone via supplements seems to help mitigate stress reactions, acting as a type of natural buffer. It can make people who are stressed out seek out support through better social connections.
It also may help protect the nervous system from shutting down in the face of stressful circumstances, including childbirth.
Some animal studies show that treatment with oxytocin causes stressed animals to no longer display signs of depression, anxiety or cardiac stress. By increasing someone’s motivation to find help from others, the hormone can help people find opportunities that lead to more security, joy and love.
3. Induces Labor
Oxytocin strengthens labor contractions during childbirth, along with helping to control bleeding after childbirth. It also facilitates production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that move labor along.
In prescription/synthetic form, it can be used to induce labor or speed up the process. The most widely used form is the brand name drug Pitocin, which is commonly given to women in the hospital during labor.
4. Supports Breastfeeding and Child Rearing
One of oxytocin’s functions is to support breastfeeding and nurturing maternal behaviors among both mothers and fathers.
Research links the hormone to a mothers’ ability to care for her infant in multiple ways, one of which is through breastfeeding. When a baby nurses from his/her mother’s breast, nerves in the nipple send a signal to the pituitary gland to produce oxytocin, which then causes tiny muscles around the nipple to squeeze and release milk.
Experts also believe that oxytocin helps new mothers and fathers feel calm even during difficult life transitions, one of which is having and caring for a new baby. Levels have been shown to rise in parents due to affectionate touch and contact with their baby.
5. May Have Anti-Aging and Anti-Obesity Effects
Higher oxytocin release is now linked with protection against accelerated signs of aging and better regeneration of aged tissue stem cells, including muscle cells, according to animal studies.
Oxytocin injections may be used in the future to help injuries heal better, improve bone health and possibly prevent obesity. For example, some animal studies have found that oxytocin administration leads to sustained weight reduction by reducing food intake, which is believed to happen because it dampens the brain’s food-related reward circuitry.
How to Increase It
Both higher- and lower-than-normal levels of oxytocin can cause health problems among women and men, according to endocrinologists. Here are some examples of how:
High levels among men may contribute to enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and urinary problems.
Low levels (what some might call oxytocin deficiency) among women can interfere with child labor and breastfeeding.
Low levels among both sexes has been linked to depression and anxiety, although it still isn’t totally clear how administering oxytocin supplements can help treat these and other mental health conditions.
It’s also believed that low levels may be tied to autism and autistic spectrum disorders.
Wondering, “How can I increase my oxytocin levels?” Is there a supplement for oxytocin, or foods that can naturally boost production?
Here are ways that you can naturally boost your production in order to promote feelings of well-being and connectedness:
Physical contact — Hugs, massages, being intimate, shaking hands and breastfeeding all cause the release of oxytocin.
Essential oils — Studies suggest that certain essential oils, including clary sage oil, may help balance hormones and encourage production of the love hormone.
Making eye contact
Laughing
Giving and receiving gifts (including money)
Sharing meals with other
Petting a dog, cat or other pet
Doing “loving kindness” meditation or visualization
Telling someone you love him or her
Listening to calming music
Speaking to someone you trust on the phone
Walking or exercising with someone
Looking at photos or videos of people you care about — including via social media
Maybe you West Euros need more Oxytocin.
