Hes a white male, strongly opposed to most other races and immigrants. Believes every single far right-wing economic theory imaginable and actually cited Argentina as a beacon for true capitalism. He has no remorse for others, seems to live in a world where hes the focal point but he presents himself as extremely charming and personable when you first meet him. He has no problem ignoring social ethics or morals if it benefits his self interest. Hes told my friend that people should only worry about themselves, and not care about the struggles of others. That in life, self interests should trump everything else.

A society of people who only worry about themselves. People who ostracize everyone thats not like them. Humans that value possessions over people, and while they might give money to their church, its only because their church is filled with people just like them. And while these people go to church and call themselves Christians, theyve somehow convinced themselves that Jesus Christ was some selfish, hateful, judgmental person who valued his own self interest over the betterment of others less fortunate than himself.

Because see, in a society of sociopaths, greed is good. Greed is the driving force behind their existence. Its acceptable in a society of sociopaths for people like the Koch brothers to oppose minimum wage and health care, while being worth tens of billions of dollars, because a sociopath doesnt feel they owe anything to anyone.
If their workers are underpaid, overworked, lack benefits or safe working conditions, in the mind of a sociopathwho cares? Quit and get another job or stop complaining because they dont owe workers anything. They only have an obligation to themselves and their own self interests. If workers want better pay, safer working conditions or benefitsfind another job. If you cant find a job which offers any of thattoo bad.
