Fucking rich people. Can't cook a meal, can't hunt without being driven to and put in front of a doped animal, can't farm, can't change a lightbulb, can't wipe their own ass, can't do anything by themselves, but somehow they are the ones who own the property and all the resources. They are fucking useless and they need to be reminded of that
Excessive wealth is a disease, and in some cultures is known to be such. Here in the US, since the California gold rush we've had this idea that ordinary people could strike it rich, and so we aspire to join the well-to-do (even while J. P. Morgan would literally kill Carnegie to take his share. The ultra-wealthy are more dog-eat-dog than the rest of us.)
I can't speak for the rest of the industrialized neoliberal nations, but Great Britain seems to be okay with lords owning billions and using their wealth and power to control policy. Meanwhile the tech-bros that are crushing the soul of the US are also getting their tendrils into the rest of the world, buying up politicians and spreading far-right propaganda globally.
That includes middle and upper management at almost every company. They want to make the rules and fire people so they can buy a boat, but they couldn't do the work if their life depended on it. I'd love to see our CEO try to do an operation on the manufacturing floor. The suits are rude, slow, and just annoying.
