troubling feature of people who seem nice all the time

"The irony is that a personality disposition normally seen as antisocial — disagreeableness — may actually be linked to 'pro-social' behavior,'" writes Psychology Today's Kenneth Worthy. "This connection seems to arise from a willingness to sacrifice one's popularity a bit to act in a moral and just way toward other people, animals or the environment at large. Popularity, in the end, may be more a sign of social graces and perhaps a desire to fit in than any kind of moral superiority."

The study also found that people holding left-wing political views were less willing to hurt others. One particular group held steady and refused destructive orders: "women who had previously participated in rebellious political activism such as strikes or occupying a factory."

Bwahaha! Such people are way above the hypocrites here who want to believe they are one of the above. Gaining unpopularity by putting down others out of jealousy, low self esteem and in order to feel good about themselves is not the same as 'sacrificing one's popularity to act in a moral and just way....'.
