It's funny because all the forces of accumulation, you'd think they'd lose their essential humanity once they reached the top, and yet, they still are unsatisfied and long for a deep human connection.
It's nuts. They fucking won at capital, did all the dehumanizing shit, and then fucking want what they are helping destroy
my liberal grandpa who's gone to AA meetings for 40 years refuses to agree with me that capitalism is the problem and just thinks the problem is "wealth addicts." he projects his problems onto jeff bezos which is kinda sad. But every now and then I think about that framing while keeping in mind the larger systemic issue of capitalism. The idea that these people just need wealth addiction rehab is funny.

I actually agree with this they might need some sort of second education to explain why their priorities are self destructive
I'm sure there's a word for that
I believe it's called the Barbara Pit. Which is also a killer drag queen name, now that I think about it.
