  Idk. If the manager at a local mcdonalds gave an interview calling people stupid as shit and then rambling nonsense, people might suppose the same. The only time I’ve had someone do that to me they were clearly unhoused with some kind of mental health condition.

  This guy is the head of an international corporation, named after an evil entity, owned by a famous Billionaire who is frequently in the news about cartoon villainy. He should ostensibly have some media training that details why this little crashout is sad, pathetic, and embarassing.

    Yeah sure, sad pathetic and embarrassing. I agree. That’s why I said psychopath and nutjob.

    But mental breakdown? Come on. That just conflates people who have legitimate mental health issues with this guy’s lunacy.

    This isn’t Shia LeBouffe masturbating in public, it’s just some evil narcissist losing his shit on camera

      Fair enough. It is hyperbolic, but I’m not sure by how much.

      I will give honorable mention to the pathological greed. If greed wasn’t so celebrated, I’m sure there’d we’d have a proper diagnosis for their insatiability.

        Oh I agree that it’s pathological. Just doesn’t reach my threshold for “mental breakdown”
