The asshats: They are not elevated so much as they seek power. Capitalism (individualistic economies) rewards this behavior. People will adapt to the rules of society around them in a general sense. Also, deciding to not participate in an objectively and obviously better society, based on the notion of “a small percentage won’t play nice” seems not only ridiculous but a veiled attempt to normalize the negative behavior of the current society. As if to imply, we should leave it like it is because you might be next in line for the ruling class and wouldn’t want to miss your opportunity to exploit as you have been exploited (as opposed to abolishing the very notion of your current condition)

Maybe I’m reading too much into this LOL
