Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What happened with him specifically tho, what lead to this?
In my experience, a fair amount of "rich kids" in the millenial and gen z age range are pretty disillusioned with the system. They might not have come to their conclusions through struggle and inequality. But got there because of empathy.
I think that it has to do with how they were taught in school and when they were young. They grow up on values of kindness and generosity and then, in young adulthood, realize they have benefitted from other peoples labor. The internet and a trend towards more self-awareness probably contribute.
That certainly isn't the case for all rich kids. Most of them are oblivious assholes. But I've met a few.
I had that impulse but its obviously a less usual thing. Was just thinkint about that stuff that said McKinsey only hires rich kids, and like thinking as a rich kid at that fart factory, "God it sucks to be this shitty"
They can be better than that and I applaud those of them who do so regardless of their past motivations or character.
Have you looked at society lately?
$$$ = SPEECH
Havent you looked at society lately haha!?
There's a lot of speculation, but his Twitter banner was an x-ray of a bunch of screws in his spine, and his reading list included a lot of books about backpain.
That'll do it 🩻
~~Seems like he is a claims adjuster. I’m guessing he has met a lot of people who he has to turn down~~
I fell for a joke.
Source that for me because literally nothing I’ve read in the past hour tracks with what you just said.
Actually, I think that was supposed to be a joke. He was adjusting. Har har. Went over my head.
So, I guess he’s a software developer of some kind based on what the news released about his education.
