> Ergo being not nice is necessary to success.

It’s not necessary, but it probably helps. It’s also a great american tradition (though by no means unique to american), and so is calling for the state to help you not being nice (and then people wonder why US unions are antagonistic…)

Indeed, as we can see with the Sackler family getting away with murdering millions of Americans.

Being the richest man in the world is not the only form of success, luckily.

Wealth ≠ success

Please. The only people who say that are making cushy salaries. Head on over to a place like /r/povertyfinance and tell the people there with a straight face that "Wealth ≠ success"

While wealth (or rather, being "wealthy") is absolutely a success, it is not the only way to succeed nor is its definition "not being poor".

As such, I'd like to believe people at places like /r/povertyfinance would still consider themselves successful if they moved beyond their financial challenges through a ton of work even if they don't end up wealthy.

not for success. But for domination

Success, and/or a guillotine.
