    Good. Parasites should be afraid.

    (Not a call for violence. Just saying people who destroy lives should live in fear.)

    Everybody hates me. Am I really so out of touch?

    No. It’s the children general populace who are wrong.

      I’ve ignored an unspoken social contract to help my communities and actively try to get all the wealth.

      Must be those damn commies who made me do it.

    There’s a lot of “but why don’t they stop if what they’re doing is so unpopular?” comments and I’ve got one more explanation (on top of the obvious money and technofaschism points).

    A bunch of these tech CEOs are part of the “Rationalist community” and possibly believe in Roko’s Basilisk which is a thought experiment that an otherwise benevolent AGI would punish anyone who didn’t actively work to bring it about. Someone want to link the BtB episodes about them? I know the Zizian episodes go into it but iirc they’ve got a dedicated series about these weirdos.

    But they don’t stop. “Are we the baddies?” is overwhelmed by “I’m making lots of money, fuck the little peasants.”

    Hey Execs, do you think maybe if you need to hide behind armed security, that you might just be going down the wrong path by doing evil shit? Also armed guards won’t help you if you make the public mad enough and destroy enough lives to where it doesn’t matter if they live or not to them. Just a thought

      Most of these execs are idiot nepo babies, so they lack any form of self awareness.

      No.

      It’s everyone else who is wrong. You ignorant fools just can’t see how they are going to make life better for everyone.
