I’m so tired of these fucking assholes who think they’re so smart only because they’re too wealthy to encounter people willing to tell them how fucking stupid they are.
Ugh. I remember meeting people back in the early 1980s who’d done EST training. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhard_Seminars_Training They spoke about letting go of old assumptions about right and wrong, ethics, all that. One guy had decided to go into making pornography, because it was an easy way to make a lot of money. Greed seems to lie at the root of most capitalist dystopia. Some people can ever have enough money/power.
Extreme greed is just something I can’t understand at all. Maybe it’s because I grew up with little so to me, just being comfortable without worrying about bills, food, housing, or medical care and maybe a little extra to travel , sounds ideal.
Why would I need more than that?
What would I even do with it other than charity or buying random crap?
I can’t fathom the desire to hoard money.
To want it all so that others don’t have it.
And it’s not just like it’s hoarding some material object. But it’s hoarding medical care. Housing. Food. Education. Equality. Safety.
Like wtf. Why? Why would you do that ? Why take from people who need it way more than you do ?
Why take when you already have so much more than everyone else?
I guess it’s to commit crimes and not be punished. Because that seems like the only benefit of being billionaire-rich.
So wealth disparity exists just so some guy can rape children . Murder. Do more theft. ?
Any society who cares about its weakest members would ostracize such scum. Instead we celebrate them on TV and event make them our representatives. It really shows what society values: people that can make that singular number go up, the faster the better, regardless of sacrifice.
Power doesnt corrupt. Its just far too easy for the already corrupted to seize and hold onto power, while the uncorrupted are too honest to beat them to it.
I think it can be both. But mostly, yes. The worst humans are attracted to positions of power. It’s why so many pastors are sex predators. They were predators before becoming pastors.

They think they are so smart because they have no ethics.
“Look at me, I figured out how to exploit people and do extortion and lie, I’m a fucking genius and basically a god”.
Sociopaths. All of them.

Exactly - we have what the billionaires never will: we have enough.

All boils down to that.
