Just a shower realisation… I never associated the two words before but it’s so obviously true.

    No, nothing to do with business

    You have to be willing to make decisions to very deliberately fuck people over. To rapaciously take more than you could possibly justify with anything other than “I want to have more, when I already have plenty”

    That’s not a healthy mind. It’s someone driven, and totally comfortable with doing harm to get what they want

    Sounds pretty fucked to me.

      Yes, a lot of them are terrible are probably psychopaths or narcissists.

      But you can be all of that and not be an extremists.

          extremist

          a person who holds extreme political or religious views, especially one who advocates illegal, violent, or other extreme action.

          It doesn’t matter if they are “extreme” or “rad” in some random aspect of their live. But they are not necessarily extremist.

            If you believe 10% of people should hold 90% of wealth, you have an extremist political position. Therefore all billionaires are political extremists.

              That sure would be nice if it was true, but it isn’t. The political views that enables this kind of wealth inequality is the main stream status-quo, so literally the opposite of political extremism.

                I dont agree, most people when asked would say that it is unfair and undesirable for such wealth inequality to exist.

                  I’d guess, yes. But most people will still vote for the political parties that will enable more wealth inequality. It might be extremely stupid, but politically the policies are everything but extreme. They are the broad consensus that people still vote for.
