Marcus ReynoldsA while back I believed orcas understood and tried to do something about it
Judeau (EatTheRich)@breadandcircuses I believe "Billionair" might be the appropriate word he's looking for...
Oleastre@breadandcircuses Wendigo ?
Elz de Korte@breadandcircuses it's heroine for the rich, they're totally hooked
Dianora (Diane Bruce)@breadandcircuses Fascist comes close.
Marc Herb@breadandcircuses …in germany you say Hasadeur, it means gambler ;)
contrasocialSure, but this coming from the man who couldn't bring himself to criticize the Chinese oligarchy because it was the wrong brand of oligarchy and fascism to criticize.
RAK@contrasocial @breadandcircuses: Same deal with the Serbs and Cambodians. I don't like to use an appeal to hypocrisy, but I don't think Chomsky's a good messenger for this sentiment.
MR.Cleymoxx@breadandcircuses A very BANAL kind of evil...stupidity..
Sam@breadandcircuses I couldn't agree more.😭
Henrik Vogt@breadandcircuses Corporate Psychopath (dark triad theory or see thedarkfactor.org)?

Timo Würsch@breadandcircuses Now the word Chomsky is looking for, that would be "asshole", plain and simple.

author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x7Found one: avaricious
"Someone who is avaricious is greedy or grasping, concerned with gaining wealth. The suggestion is that an avaricious person will do anything to achieve material gain, and it is, in general, not a pleasant attribute."
Ivi Choc@breadandcircuses
That's really simple: Psychopaths. Genetic defect, born emotionally degenerated, incapable of emotional connection to others + a defect in the dopamine circuit giving them a kick if they deliberately harm others. Can be objectively tested (gene test, fMRT). This inborn defects are an explanation BUT NOT an excuse. These people are not mentally retarded, they KNOW and understand what they are doing and CHOSE to do so, therefore are fully liable and responsible.

Debbie Belair@breadandcircuses Humans have a lot of lessons to learn here. It's there own fault.
mxk@breadandcircuses Noam Chomsky has proven to be a tankie though, and certainly isn't on the right side of history either.
