Fool-King Jack-Holes
(noun, plural)
/ˈfu l kɪŋ dʒæk-hoʊlz/
Definition:
A pompous group of delusional men (and their enabler ladies) (usually in positions of power or self-appointed importance) who strut around with the self-assurance of kings, demagogues, dictators, with the wisdom of fools, and the moral depth of a mud puddle. Often loud, self-congratulatory, and totally unaware that everyone sees through their act.
Think: a mash-up of a court jester, a reality-TV strongman, and the guy at the office who thinks he's a visionary because he read one leadership book in 2009.
Examples:
🗣️ "After the board meeting, it was clear the entire executive team were just a bunch of Fool-King Jack-Holes."
🗣️ "You give a microphone to a Fool-King Jack-Hole and suddenly he thinks he's Churchill with a TikTok."
🗣️ "They stormed in like medieval tyrants but ran the whole thing like a Ren Faire gone wrong. Total Fool-King Jack-Holes."
Related Terms:
Jackassery, Ego Parade, Court of Clowns, Dunning-Kruger Klub, Pretend-o-crats

It is a general condition of human beings.
On the "pure-self-interest --group-solidarity/altruism" scale Egopaths skew strongly to egocentrism and self-interest;
I didn't think that the DSM definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorders quite fits the bill and this apparently widespread phenomenon needed a new category: definitely under the DSM Cluster B Group (Anitsocial-Borderline-Histrionic-Narcissistic), but with a more social-/group-mentality component to it.
The term "egopath" popped into my head one morning, but discovered it already had a definition.
There is in my definition the whole aspect of wanting to control and defend, however one has defined it, one's "integrity" -- bodily, cognitive, spiritual, destiny related -- against forces encroaching on, pushing for this integrity's demise, disintegration.
We are all on this continuum, but egopaths tend to be more cowardly, fearful, self-interested and self-preserving.
N.B. Egopathy seems to be a) widespread and b) quite socially acceptable in many countries.
For example, in German-speaking Switzerland, they say, "Geiz ist Geil!".
Translated: "Greediness is Great/Cool!"

1) During the Covid pandemic, my best-friend turned out to be a total egopath, not wanting to even visit us despite our double-vaccination and social-distancing, for fear of her getting it herself or somehow losing her sense of smell.
2) They were such egopaths during the pandemic that they flew to a vacation in Croatia by plane, but then drove back in a mini-bus accross the Italian border to avoid the stringencies of the controls at their home airport.
