I could not disagree with you more. You have extrapolated a lack of morality in well off human beings in such black and white totality. What a fking trite and naive generalization you have made.

There are bad shitty people and bad intentions across all populations. Rich or poor. Men or Women. Old or Young.

I'm definitely not suggesting something black and white. Maybe don't take a short paragraph as indicative of my entire thought on a topic.

I agree that there are bad people everywhere. But practicing many kinds of badness requires power over others. So it's entirely unsurprising that people who like those kinds of badness will disproportionately seek power.

And I'm hardly the first to observe this. As Douglas Adams wrote: "It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it..."
