If you spend any time consuming the BtB podcast, the running theme on young, privileged men who end up with astronomical amounts of money is stunted emotional growth and development.

Also. When you believe your vote/opinion weighs more than those without your billions of dollars, democracy isn’t ok. One vote? The same as Theresa working as a maid for the Marriott? Or Samantha, the mechanic that fixes my BMW? The fuck you say. We’re not equal and thus should not have the same number of votes. Hence the market for buying politicians.

I think they were corrupted from the get go and that lack of morality and human empathy let them pile so much money.

Keeping the 'lower orders' squabbling amongst themselves is their best chance of maintaining their position, racism and other staples of the right tend to achieve this outcome.

Since many are pushing the narrative surreptitiously anyway, a few decide that they stand to benefit by positioning themselves as figureheads (and ultimately as prospective rulers/kingmakers) in addition to this.

But in a way being against labor rights and social security and taxes in general is intrinsic to be ing very very rich, regardless of country or leadership.

Plus, being that rich requires an unhealthy level of greed and a need for validation etc. In other words, being super rich is a mental illness.
