    Capitalism favours psychopaths.

    These people are successful under capitalism not in spite of being terrible people, but because they are terrible people.

    I’m usually not the first person to quote Jesus, but when he said that camels had better chances getting through the heads of needles than rich people had of getting into heaven this is sorta what he was getting at. If you’re not a gigantic piece of shit you’re just not going to get that rich.

      Exactly. If I was willing to backstab and throw my coworkers under the bus, I could appear even better at my job and they could be dead weight.
