Caitlin, more than the billionaires and oligarchs like Musk, Trump, etc., what disgusts me are the cadre of top-level people supporting such sociopaths and psychopaths - I'm talking of ordinary people like private security forces, accountants, financial planners, lawyers, yes-men (and women), assistants, PR agents, and more -> all subservient, obsequious, slavish, compliant sycophants that do the bidding for the WORST of humanity.

I'm talking of the 1-2% that DIRECTLY support the top %1 in every way - the wannabe's, the 'I want to be the next billionaire too' slimeballs, the 'I'll do whatever it takes to get to the top (even if it means genociding innocent people)' kind of people/support staff.

Forget about shame, guilt, principles, values, or morals - as these support-people seem to have none.. There is a WHOLE POPULATION of people that support the likes of deranged people like Musk, Trump, etc. Our society has degenerated into a sickness for which I fear there is no cure.

Even if people like Trump, Musk, Netanyahu, etc. were to be eliminated, there are scores of 'wannabes' that seem to be more than eager to replace them. THIS is the DEEP SICKNESS that afflicts our societies.

Sorry if I'm going on a tangent, but as much as I loathe creatures like Musk, Trump, Satanyahu, etc. - I feel an equal amount of contempt for the 1-2% of the population that enable and support the behaviors of these monsters at every turn.

HOW do we prevent/cure this psychopathy in society? Is there no hope? Will even 'killing Capitalism' cure us (i.e. humanity) of this? I'm absolutely livid with anger not just at the 0.01% but also at the 1-2% directly under this 0.01% that make the behavior of the 0.01% viable in the first place.
