I’m still used to thinking that evil people are mostly caused by material factors and their environment, but with all the stuff I’ve been seeing recently, I’m slowly becoming more and more open to the idea that “sometimes evil is just evil”.

It’s the natural tendency of an exploitative ruling class. Before there was a Musk, there was a Koch, a Rockefeller, a Thomas Jefferson and a Rochambeau. Even in feudalism we had our fair share of the likes of Popes Urbanus II and Innocentius III. I’d be way more surprised if the exploiters weren’t cruel in their exploitation, as that’d be against their class interests.
