    It starts with unhappiness and the belief that you are always right. Then it goes to “it’s okay to do bad things because I’m a good person.” Then things degrade from there under any leader that tells you what you want to hear.

      I wouldn’t describe myself as having grown up happy, nor do I imagine a lot of the privileged and wealthy who now push extreme beliefs were unhappy.
