      It’s just so gross that class war isn’t enough. It has to be that too. Why the fuck does it have to be this wrong with being a billionaire that this needs to become a thing. Like holy fuck just collect cars or planets or something. Feed the poor. Invest in medical or science studies.

      Being an unjailed pedophile shouldn’t be the end game. What the fuck is wrong with these people’s aims in life.

        I think that becoming filthy rich genuinely makes people insane. Some people are better at hiding it, but these days it seems they don’t even bother to hide it anymore. Trump has shown that there is no consequences to flaunting and relishing in your own hateful rich person’s insanity anymore, so they just do that instead.

          Just imagine the crowd of sycophants and scammers that surround these people, all trying to collect some little bit of the money that sheds off them like dandruff. That crowd is going to treat any voice-of-reason follower as a barrier to wealth and an enemy and work very hard to get rid of them. It’s got to be incredibly difficult for billionaires to access any kind of negative feedback or reality check, and spinning out into one’s own little fantasy world seems like an inevitable consequence, even if they start out ‘normal.’

            For some people it’s just natural.

            I own a very small business, mostly just me. But now and then I have to hire extra help, and occasionally there’s a guy who goes straight into ass-kissing-the-boss mode, which disgusts me as much as everyone else.

            I shut it down real fast, telling everybody in general that I don’t respond to ass kissing, and just do the job the way I tell you to do it. I don’t need my ass smooched at the same time. Gross, knock that shit off, have some self-respect.

          It’s just that all that money allows them to indulge their wildest fantasies, and at that point they are only constrained by their own morality. If they have sociopathic tendencies,which the ultra-wealthy have in disproportion to the general population, then they are likely to indulge their WORST fantasies, which they can easily afford.
