why do billionaires have this need to rule the world. i get that they like money and want more of that. but to ruin other peoples lives for the purpose of money, that i dont understand. i dont understand how poeple can sleep at night doing that day after day.
I feel like if you gave Trump or musk the opportunity to rule without any laws they would give Roman Emporer Caligula a run for his money regarding cruelty and debauchery.
It’s not a coincidence. People have cause and effect backward.
It’s not that this is a problem unique to billionaires.
It’s just that the impulse to do so much evil is precisely the reason that someone becomes a billionaire in the first place.
Petty theft is murder. Petty murder is illegal. But while the people with resources get people to focus on those small crimes, those people with power put in place ways to murder and rob billions of people on a constant basis, but to do so in such a banal way that each step by itself seems like nothing. They built murder machines to kill people and extract the wealth from their corpses.

Power is addictive. You also get to see how a person truly is when you give them power with no regard to law.

And no one has made the murder machines illegal.
