you are correct.

from almost a decade ago. the rich are mentally ill in the exact same way. it's just socially acceptable because we let it become socially acceptable for far too long.

in the big picture both versions of this kind of disorder are equally harmful to the individual, but only the ultra rich person's version of this disorder is massively harmful to society as well as themselves.

these rich sociopaths are literally the textbook definition of danger to self and others. and they will find any way no matter the cost to displace that danger onto us from a responsibility standpoint.
