i’ve always thought of stuff like the stock market as respectable forms of gambling but learning more about more recent business moguls is making me start to realize that a lot of the ppl responsible for the current state of capitalism have been or are basically just gambling addicts. once you start looking at it like that a LOT falls into place

it's so infuriating, i figured up until my 20s that the adults who run things at least knew SOME stuff i didn't, that the world is the way it is for reasons i wasn't experienced enough to understand, and no! it's just rich dipshits playing dice with our lives because they've lost touch with humanity. it's insultingly simplistic

oh don’t mistake me!! i absolutely think that vast majority are evil ALSO, and usually the most venal kind, and those definitely use the benefit of the doubt to obfuscate and evade prosecution— at certain levels of power i believe one should always lean towards intentionality when seeking motivation in order to avoid encouraging that behavior.

but they’re also just, like, REALLY stupid as individuals and there’s ample historical evidence for this
