I have meet plenty of poor sociopaths. It isnt some super power. Maybe you just hear of the combination of rich and sociopath because no one cares that the guy who makes 20k a year towing cars lacks empathy.
Comment on I've been wondering for some time
ieightpi@lemmy.world 1 year agoPeople need to remember that the Western culture rewards people with mental illness. Ultra wealthy are sociopaths to the core. This is why they can have no empathy for people. We all were scratching our heads how the Studio Heads in Hollywood couldn’t wrap their heads around fair treatment of their worker’s.
These people aren’t evil, they are inherently broken. Normal people don’t aspire to do whatever it takes to trampled over others for gains.
We need to stop rewarding the mentally ill with more money and instead put them in psychiatric wards.
