Explain Like I'm Five

The truth is the billionaires want nothing more than something they can’t buy. Someone will always be there to provide it for them as long as money is more important than people.

~~These two just happened to be funded by the terrorist state of Israel, which allowed them to expand and fester longer than anyone else in history~~ Proof of this won’t come out for another 20-50 years, so just take my word for it I guess.

Money does weird things to your brain.

Nobody wants to believe they're the "bad guy". And some people end up with excessive wealth, more than a person could reasonably spend in a lifetime (think billionaire). And these people have to make a choice: do they keep it all for themselves, or give most of it away?

Those who hoard their wealth have to justify internally why they have so much and others are starving. To do this, they either deify themselves, or demonize the poor, or both. They truly believe the poor are morally inferior to them, and the rich are morally superior.

In addition, when you have this type of wealth, nothing is off-limits anymore. And humans seem to have a deep-seated need to strive for something that is out of reach. If you want to see this for yourself, turn on a favorite video game and enable cheats like infinite money or "god mode". Chances are, it'll be fun for a bit, but it'll soon lose your attention. Because whether we realize it or not, our brains want some things to be difficult to obtain.

Being a billionaire is an IRL infinite money hack. There's pretty much nothing you can't do with that kind of money. Except... illegal stuff. Like drugs, and raping minors. These activities bring a spark of excitement to people who are decresingly finding that feeling in anything else in life.

When you consider both of these things together, stuff like sex trafficking starts to make morbid sense. They see trafficking people much the same as trafficking animals. And it's one of the very few things that scratches that human itch of wanting something we can't have.

Excessive concentrated wealth is bad for everyone, including the wealthy.

you can't fathom it because you were raised that way. Different parents / society and you would call those normal and partake.

there have been too many through history to think it is anything else.

Perceived omnipotence through excessive wealth, obsequious entourage of devoted followers eager for some reflected limelight, depthless entitlement from generations of a better than thou attitude.

The moat of excessive resources and power can isolate the humanity from the human.

The power and associated external adulation/validation by other elites is probably addictive as well, creating a toxic feedback loop.

So, I guess you could say, with increasing resources and power comes the temptation and easier ability to stop giving a crap about other people due to a perceived sense of infallibility and invincibility.

Perhaps when one gets to that level of orgabized crime and corruption, it becomes impossible to escape because you know too much about too many, so your only option is to continue along the same path (edit: or be killed by your associates as a liability to their guilt).

This whole thing was quite clearly an op by some foreign agent to collect dirt on influential figures. And it clearly worked. And yes you probably would have to be a huge narcissist to actually be the ones carrying it out and still sleep at night.

Money or not, some people are born evil and some are made evil by circumstance. Its just the way the world and humans seem to work. Guys like Dennis Rader (BTK killer) grew up normal and healthy. Some people are just fucking monsters. I don't think his wealth had anything to do with why he did horrible shit, it just allowed him to scale up his horrible shit to an insane degree.

Sounds like someone's trying to fill the vacuum in the market.
