So this means Fuckerberg is going to be in the headlines every single fucking day like Musk and Trump.
Fuck Zuck. And the Phillips Exeter horse he rode in on. This Rich Kid, Harvard College billionaire is not who I care to listen to for “elitism” advice. His orange-ass-kissing is pathetic and disgusting.
So he’s gonna learn that once you help entrench the powers of authoritarians, they’re not gonna care that you were once useful to them. You will slave away in their labor prisons, like many Chinese billionaires currently do once they stopped being useful. Authoritarians don’t care how much money you have, and people who hate protections which democratic nations confer to them, aka that “woke” shit, will get a wake up call when they find themselves not part of the in-group. Your race, money etc., nothing saves you then.
What is the causal relationship between sociopaths and billionaires? Does becoming billionaire make you sociopathic, or do sociopaths have an easier time becoming billionaires?
As I’ve heard it said. It’s practically impossible to be a billionaire without being a sociopath. The sheer amount of exploitation required to make that kind of money is dumbfounding.

so far I haven’t seen any credible systemic solutions
There are many credible systemic solutions to this problem but over the past 40+ years those solutions have been watered down and killed off.
Things like:
- High tax rate on the wealthy and a well funded IRS to enforce those laws
- Strong regulations and well funded departments to enforce those regulations
- Better education for the population at large and enough funding to give all members of the country free access to it
- Strong labor unions and an well funded FTC to help protect them
- A strong and FAIR justice system and the funding to keep it fair
I’m sure there are others
None of those are solutions to the problem (assuming it even is a problem) pointed out by the comment that you replied to — sociopaths tend to be more effective at climbing hierarchies and convincing people to follow them.
Right they are effective in becoming more of a leader and I’ll admit I went off on a bit of a tangent with my previous comment. What I was getting at was there is a system that can at least fence in the C suite sociopath from getting out of control, but we don’t have that system any more due in part to the sociopaths in power. So well maybe I’m just wrong.
