Listen to them when they shit like us.
He's sugar coating it, the billionaires don't think of us as a different race, were a whole nother species to them.
The brain has to rationalize why you need more wealth than you could ever spend even if you tried while millions of children starve and you could literally save their lives
Any scrap of empathy in a billionaire is completely gone, every second of their lives waking or not thousands of deaths that not only could they easily prevent, looking at each one on a large scale often points fingers directly at that wealth being removed from circulation causes the deaths.
Anyone that thought they were the same as an average person, would go fucking crazy
The only way to hold onto rationality, is to convince yourself that you're just that much better and "the poor" can't be trusted to help themselves and if anyone else was as good with money, they'd be a billionaire too. So it becomes this perpetuating cycle where they only interact with each and The Time Machine starts looking like utopia and not a cautionary tale.
What they're doing is 100% normal, the problem is at the end of the day we're letting them do this.
We can just seize their fucking wealth, it's been done plenty of times when shit wasn't this bad before. This time it's bad virtually everywhere at once.
