It's what makes me disagree with all those "anyone would be Jeff Bezoz if they were given that kind of wealth" type arguments. Like, nah, these people are a special level of evil. It's why so many of us have a problem trying to understand them. It's why they spent so long trying to hide it from public eye. Why they have to distract people from it. Because normal, good natured people, cannot comprehend their level of evil.

What they don't understand is, to reach the level of Wealth that all these fuckers have, you have to be morally detached from the world from the get go.

No one with a conscience will ever reach that stage. They'll stop long before.

Capitalism incentivises sociopathy.

It's less anyone would be Bezos and more the system selects for people like Bezos.

It does make the "Great Satan" moniker seem more appropriate, doesn't it. Or at least, that was about the thought I had when I read it.

I despise every last one of these military contracting corporations and ghouls that are its foundation and lifeline and create the tools that engulf the world in terror. Every last one of them deserves a cruel, miserable end.
