    It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.

    No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can’t wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don’t own, we let them do that.

      Well said. We don’t like inequality, but when it comes to blame somehow we all get a “tax free” discount.

      Yes, they are awful people. They have more than enough money to live out their sickest fantasies and it’s still not enough for them. But they are - at least in part - a symptom of the way the rest of us live. We vote for a government that lets us forget our humanity, class consciousness and responsibility in place of overbearing capitalism. Only we can stop this.
