I think rich people are often miserable in a different way. They have all their basic needs filled in perpetuity, but I don't think they are capable of normal human relationships anymore. All their friends just want their money, their capitalist friends are just their competitors who do elaborate weird sex abuse rituals on islands. Their main social interaction is telling people what to do. i'm gonna armchair psychologize

They've ceased to have any reason to ask for favors, or to simply talk with other people. Everything in their life has become a transaction and the weight of their money permeates everything they do, it's inescapable. They've entered a situation where they have no equals, no peers, no role models, nothing. Every other person only exists as utility now.

So they're going to feel an emptiness, they're going to feel alone, they're going to feel a longing for connection, but since rich people are bloodthirsty ghouls without souls, they are going to fail to understand why they still feel empty. They have a mansion, cars, they can redirect large aspects of society. They can finance movies and art. But eventually they're gonna discover this: they can't purchase admiration. You can't pay someone to like you. But they try anyway.

Look at what rich people do. If I had a billion dollars and for some bizarre reason I didn't finance a communist party, you'd never hear from me. A billion dollars is enough to travel the world for the rest of a person's life. You can try every drug imaginable. You can have dream-like orgies in giant rainbow temples that you built. And rich people aren't doing that. What does Jeff Bezos do? Try to be an astronaut. Musk tries to be some epic science man changing the course of history. Warren Buffet wants people to know he's a folksy aw-shucks billionaire with common sense values. Bill Gates wants to go down in history as the world's greatest philanthropist. Steve Jobs had an intricately curated image and personality to appear as a dynamic technology leader. The only rich person I know who actually did something normal was Tom Anderson from Myspace. He got rich and then fucked off to climb mountains and study photography. He's probably still got a soul.

None of them had to do any of that, they did it out of dissatisfaction with what the world had to offer them, and the world offered them literally everything the world has to offer...except one thing. They no longer have a connection to humanity, if they ever had one in the first place. They erased their soul in their quest for wealth, or they never had one by virtue of their inheritance. They're never going to be able to look someone in the eye and feel friendship, or love, or camaraderie. They've broken their brains to become a predator whose superficial aspects of humanity are merely camouflage. They can only exist in a mindset where everyone else is simply doing camouflage too.

Guillotine these people, put them out of our misery and theirs.
