I don’t get how the rich and some politicians can just become the stereotypes they’ve been cast as in movies for…like forever!

“Hey that thing you’re doing is evil”

“Yeah but if I don’t do it first, some other guy will.”

    And in our society, wealth is what matters the most. This in contrast with older (smaller) societies where status is derived from generousity.

    It’s more like, when they watched those movies, they kind of got inspired by the villains and thought the negative portrayal was the fictional part.

    They have always been waiting for the opportunity to do villain stuff and do it as long as they can get away with it (like doing a certain salute).
