Do you think wealth inequality was achieved through the behaviors of the insane? These systems were purpose built to function a certain way for the benefit of certain people. It was incredibly sane, just selfish.

Generational wealth inherited from people who benefitted from immoral systems is a fundamentally problematic system. Breaking down the logic behind it is not "sane-washing" or whatever unless it comes with opinions on the merit or fairness of the problematic elements.

Quite the contrary, the OC did not offer any opinion on whether these things were fair or "okay". They only fleshed out the specific logic used in the creation of these systems.

insanity is more sane washing

selfish greed is more honest

sometimes evil is more descriptive

You're just saying words without meaning at this point. I'm sure it feels good to put a label on something you don't like but you have done nothing to communicate what you actually intend in an effective way.

if it makes you feel better thinking that…

if you actually care about the subject pick some actual rich family names a do a little googling

keeping it contemporary, the less bad assholes are the zuckerfucks or bezshits

the actual evil families are like the musks or the trumps, they don’t get the silly titles, heious fuckers

and i have zero interest in convincing boot lickers of anything

The fact that you only called out the four surnames that are most visible on social media and the news says a lot about where you get your info, tbh.

No mention of the Waltons. Or the Kochs. None of the hedge fund managers, or Blackstone leadership. Or any of the dozens of other families and organizations that have been manipulating global politics for over a hundred years.

And the silly name-calling makes you look really immature btw. Say "fucking Zuckerberg" like an adult instead of sound-bite nicknames that put you on the same level as MAGA hate parrots.
