He’s a symptom of the capitalist disease. Essentially, he’s what happens when a person is hollowed out and nothing remains except capitalist ideology. My point is that they’re all garden variety scum, but they’re uplifted into power by a cultural corruption that’s as old as consciousness. The religions of old warned about this kind of mental programming when the dominant form of ignorance on the planet was building pyramids and colluseums.
In some ways he is. In other ways though, no he’s just a person who is like that. And speaking as a pagan you’re fucking insane if you think this wasn’t happening under pagan rule. Our rot is the same that the Roman republic had.
Maybe something could’ve made him not this way, but he seems to have been emptier than most before anything. Whether or not their soul is still intact is a question for them and the gods to discuss. But the reality is that in a healthy ancient society he probably would’ve been either dealt with violently or expelled to die. In an unhealthy one, he’d’ve sought to build power with disaffected young men, raped unprotected women who were unable to defend themselves, and either come to power or died trying. Patriarchy is fucking old and he’s got it bad.

You’re part of the problem with this over dramatic tripe
Or are you part of the problem with your judgemental in-fighting?
What infighting?
I’m on your team, but you’re not on mine. You’re just a shit talking dick head trying to squeeze his two cents in where it’s not wanted.

Yes, such authoritarian charlatans are symptoms of capitalism. This does not mean they are in any way connected.
You can read my other comments in this thread if you want. I’ve already addressed this.
No, you haven’t. You’ve just vaguely gestured and pontificated aimlessly.
Cool.
No. It wasn’t.
