Alexander the Great.

is it really sociopathy if you were raised from birth to consider the plebs lower than the shit on the bottom of your sandals?

People are rarely raised that way. Humans, like chimps, naturally hate people who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

>complains about sociopaths while posting in a website filled with them

Seneca, cicero,plutarch,livy,marcus aurelius.

All philosopers/learned men that extolled the virtues of friendship among other things that go against the common symptoms of being a sociopath

they weren't sociopaths, they were normies

A sociopath would promote commoners and carefully cater to the masses so their Empire functions properly whereas a normy would intentionally treat them like doormats even at their own expense.

None of those men you mention were born to the purple.

Actually very few emperors in the first few centuries were. Many were usurpers or adopted children.

I don't think being the scion of the king of a hellenic backwater counts.

Is that how Commodus was raised? The excuse for Caracalla was that he had a severely traumatic childhood, but I don't think he was raised that way either.

Naw, they just ate too many paint chips growing up.

Right. The 4 or 5 good emperors chose a mature man from outside of his family, because none of them had children. Basically, monarchs should not be allowed to breed, or should have their children disinherited.
