    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.

      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.

        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.

        All boils down to that.

          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.

        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.
