    Oh people like him live the saddest lives imaginable. I personally know a narcissist nwith psychopathic tendencies and he actually acts a lot like trump, the midnight rants on how the world has wronged him, the weird “I cannot name a single person without immediately adding some judgement to it” like “Tom who is the greatest architect ever” and “Susan, that bitch”

    He loves spending time and money on making others miserable, family included. Everything is a transaction, the guy knows no love, and gets none.

    He controls his kids with money, sort of, but since the kids loathe him and can’t wait to be independent and away from him, he’ll lose them soon anyways. He always claims he is loved by hundreds even though nobody can stand being around him. His friends are bought as in these are people that are around whom because he pays them.

    He has a clothes guy that sells him overpriced clothes, and he calls the guy a friend. The guy’s literally around him only because he continuesly buys new clothes, multiple times per week

    Nobody really knows how much money he has, he always claims everything is too expensive, and he constantly reminds everyone including his children on how much money he’s spending on everyone and it’s literally also the only one thing he has to give, the only thing he’s good for: money. That is also what he’ll be reminded for: money.

    The life is legit sad and I’d feel bad for him if he wasnt such a giant asshole all the time to everyone. Fuck this asshole

  • Phoenixz@lemmy.catoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What unique thing bothers you about politics in general?

    I have notes!

    That (depending on the country) all politicians continuously lie and that were sort of okay with that. We shouldn’t, and at the very first lie they should be called out, hard, and three strikes, you’re out

    That we have political parties where everyone has to do what the party says. I’d rather have all independent politicians, vote for those

    That many democracies call themselves democracies yet they use the first past the post system and their politica have moved to the point where you wonder if it’s still democracy

    What companies have such a disproportionate amount of power. Companies should, in the end, exist for the people. The people should ALWAYS go before companies

    That politicians can be in charge of something without having the slightest clue what that subject is. You should be an expert in the field to get a field. That also goes for IT, by the way. Fuck, so many politicians are so dumb and tech illiterate yet have to vote about tech.

    That the rich still exist. Im fiine with capitalism, it works well to generate wealth which COULD be for everyone but people seem to be okay with the rich and ultra rich? I want to see hard cap limits on personal and company wealth. Anything, income, gifts, whatever, that goes over that limit goes 100% straight to taxes. Below that limit we need 10-20 more brackets, where the lowest incomes pay barely or no taxes at all as they likely can’t. The highest will pay on the 90% range and the next bracket is 100.

    That politicians (mostly US politicians though, it’s a hobby there) can pass laws that are called “protect the children from pedophiles” while when you looked into the law, its “yeah, show us all your chats and the real pedophiles will find other ways to communicate anyways so this won’t stop shit, law”. Especially the US has a hand of this where almost any law these days has a pretty acronym like S.H.I.E.L.D. or something and in reality, for it’s content, it should be names C.H.I.L.D.K.I.L.L.E.R.

    That lobbyists are allowed to exist. Yeah, I get it, but no. I think that lobbyists are. Any negative for society as companies abuse the shit out of them. Maybe if companies aren’t allowed to have lobbyists, and are limited in size and power, maybe we could allow lobbyists ONLY for foundations that support vulnerable groups or entities

    Same for companies, but limit it to 1 billion or so and 1000 employees max. Need more employees for a mega project that requires multiple companies to work together. Instead of one trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies

    Then, we don’t mix alcohol and wine and tequila, we all know it ends in shit yet somehow most people still think it’s okay to mix religion into politics as if that’s a great thing. Fuck religions. If you have one, sorry, but you’re believing at the level of a 5 year old that Santa is real. Politicians should all be atheist as far as I’m concerned

    I find it funny to watch these countries having issues with people not wanting to have babies.

    There are core reasons behind this, one large one being “raising a child is expensive and all the world’s money is being sucked up by billionaires, there is nothing left for children”. Another one (for certain countries like Japan and South Korea) is the “work 80 hours a week and never see that family you’re supposed to raise”

    And governments go like “sooooo, if we cover child birth, you’re good, right? What? Still nothing? We tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas, how oh how can we solve this?”

    Fuck the rich, end the rich. That will get births back to a healthy 2.1
