    But I’m not. To distill my rambling: it’s not rational to feel the need to “cozy up to an incoming fascist dictator.” Because billionaires simply don’t have needs. Housing, healthcare, education, food, security, it’s all paid for, for the next 100 generations. That was my point.

    The parts about morality were 100% me ranting…

      Who’s making the argument that cozying up with a dictator makes the difference between them being able to meet their lowest Mazlow needs?

        I’m not familiar with that term. I thought we were discussing why it’s rational?

          A) then look it up; concept or vocabulary, doesn’t matter, Google it before saying it’s whataboutism. The point was salient.

          B) self preservation is rational.

          C) parasites kill to survive in nature.

          D) something sucking for an observer, doesn’t make the observed’s rationale illogical.
