re: #113 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

It’s the people who are mega-wealthy and come from mega-wealthy stock that worry me most. The people who grew up in the privilege bubble. You grow up sheltered by enough money, you can be a completely non-malicious person and still capable of supporting horrifically regressive policies.

There’s also the March of Folly point where power insulates you from criticism and you end up doing something piss-stupid.
