No reason at all?! Are you kidding? They're doing it for profit. It's all for the bottom line! If a few kids starve, who cares? Most of them are brown anyway.

    I think they also genuinely enjoy it and believe somewhere in the future whoever is left will thank them for it

    I think it's more than that, they are heavily invested in a rather nasty version of the "just world hypothesis": if bad stuff happens to these people, like being poor and hungry, it's because they are bad and deserve it.

    It's the same logic at play for blaming victims or rape and sexual violence.

    Because the alternative, that the world isn't fair and horrible stuff happens to good people and good things also happen to horrible people, is too unpleasant and exhausting to contemplate and requires complex thought.

    Specifically, breaking the just world illusion is unpleasant and exhausting because it removes the only reassurance they have that they are good people.

    If they prosper in a just world then they are good. If you convince them the world is unjust then they have to grapple with being an awful person who has done and said awful things.

    It's virtually impossible to convince someone of that

    Oh yup, they love that circular reasoning bias, eh? The cart is supposed to go before the horse. They are rich because god wants them to be. The poor are poor because god is judging them. Pay no attention to the suffering, or you're going against god!

    Oh to start teaching philosophy and epistemology to children. Then maybe fewer would grow up with such harmful toxic dogmatic ideologies riddled with this circular reasoning fallacy.
