Unfortunately some people probably read it and go "Yeah I should be the owner fucking this family over"
Some people just don't care about other people and they should absolutely not be allowed to have power.
Some people, but definitely not most of people
If it wasn't most people, most people born into wealth wouldn't end up supporting such brutalizing institutions.
Most people aren't born into wealth though, if you mean like rich motherfuckers
That is true, but I think he was making more of a statistical statement. As in, if most people wouldn't do it, then the same sample should be applied to rich people and therefore they should change the broken system.
I think that is a bit over simplistic though. Not because rich people are inherently worse than non rich ones, although wealth might corrupt, but more so because I think you get indoctrinated when growing up and so do rich people. They probably think all is well as it is and everyone else could achieve what they did by generational wealth.
Probs only, if even, one of the reasons though
