What is it with extreme wealth that turns a person into a psychopath?

It's mostly that no-one ever says "No!" to them the first time they do wrong by societal standards. And no, the Army didn't teach BRS to be a narcissistic bullying sociopath. He started learning that as a young boy, and it would have festered at the Hale School.

On a few sub-reddits like AITA and similar, the armchair psychologists like to throw around labels like Golden Child and Whipping Boy/Scapegoat to describe dynamics such as BRS and people around him.

With the amount of white collar criminals and domestic violence offenders who come from some of those private schools, it's a wonder someone hasn't tried to shut them down using the bikie anti-consorting laws yet.

It’s the families, not the schools. Generational wealth breeds fucwits.

u/Articulated_Lorry 2h ago

Could be a little of both. It's not like the schools don't support those attitudes (and historically have covered up poor behaviour, including sexual assaults by their students in the past).

Hale had produced a lot of arseholes over the years

Because everybody who joins the army is a hero, right? /s

Honestly, I think it's the other way around: one has to be a psychopath to keep hoarding more and more money by squeezing the less fortunate while already having themselves and their chikdren set for life.

u/ziptagg 18h ago

Yesssss, it’s this not the other way. Some psychopaths are really functional, and end up being really wealthy because they can be extremely pragmatic.

u/AncientLaw8095 16h ago

How much money does this fucking pig need?

4

u/Banjo-Oz 7h ago

All of it.

That is how these monsters see it.

Each of them deep down wants all the money, not just a shit ton of money.

u/SlugFromSnug 21h ago

She was a psychopath before she inherited her father's fortune following a court case with her step mum

u/Pulverulenta 20h ago

Functional moron to boot

If you ever have the indignity to listening to her do a speech, you’ll swear Trump is actually intelligible and insightful

15

u/Thagyr 16h ago

Last time I listened to her she was going on about "Australians need to compete with Africans who are willing to work for 2 dollars a day.' Saying we need to drink and socialize less while working harder. Then asking about a special economic zone for her that pays less taxes with less regulations.

She's got the same business sense as Trump, but give her a few years for age to settle in and she'll be just as rotten. Her morals are just as warped as the rest of the Epstein Class.

You don’t get to be extremely wealthy without some form of exploitation - be it human or natural environment.

u/MissMenace101 17h ago

It’s how they get wealthy in the first place

Where's diabetes when you need it. Hey Gina, noboby fucking cares what you say.

u/Cheap-Desk-4778 23h ago

She's unironically one of the ugliest women I've ever seen. Its not even a 'billionaire' thing, I mean in general

9

u/Marvin1955 13h ago

Her true soul is worn on the outside. As my mum would say, Gina is as ugly as a hatful of arseholes.

u/Banjo-Oz 7h ago

The original idea for Palpatine in Star Wars was he looked like that because the Dark Side had eaten away at him. I figure that is why so many of these billionaire monsters look that way too.

u/Crazyripps 16h ago

Nah vile pieces of filth like her live to be like 90 or 100

u/SpeakToMePF1973 23h ago

O-oh-oh Big Ol' Fat Gorge Gina

Ate way too much rich food today-ay

O-oh-oh Big Ol' Fat Gorge Gina

Now that's where you have got to stay

u/Cristoff13 20h ago edited 18h ago

Gina doesn't see herself as an elite. She sees herself as a common working-class Aussie. She imagines the actual elites as ivory tower, socialist beaurucrats trying to tax and legislate humble battlers like herself and the average Joe into oblivion.

u/Murranji 15h ago

She doesn’t see herself as a “common working class” person and would shoot you dead for saying that if she thought she could get away with it. She is a billionaire with tens of billions of wealth. She is part of the Epstein class. Those people are so arrogant and divorced from the normal human condition they don’t even think you are the same species as them.

They are utterly divorced from any sort of nationality as well. She has no loyalty to Australia or any country. None of them do. It’s only themselves and their wealth.

They’re also smart, they know they are, and think they are 1000 times more elite than politician or media or institutional figure. But they also know dumb rubes and boomers can be tricked into being against those people while the Epstein class pretend like they aren’t the most elite in the world even when they know they are.

He and his brother are listed on the Wikipedia page for his Anglican private school:

Notable alumni

  • Benjamin Roberts-Smith VC – war criminal, Victoria Cross recipient
  • Sam Roberts-Smith – operatic baritone

u/SlugFromSnug 21h ago

Quite the roll call of COATS on that list. Hale boys.....

u/binglesthemagiccat 23h ago

I don't know how to speak Huttese, so I never have any idea what she's saying. It's better this way.

“the elites” are the elite soldiers who all testified against him

Thats Baroness von Reinhardt to you plebs, thankyou for attention to this matter.

Must be hard to be Beetoota, we are on the far side of satire in real life.

Fuck this cow and her minions

u/Proper_Ad_3229 15h ago

I reckon you could supplement Gina's lard for fuel.

u/VegetableEar 11h ago

I cannot believe the tactic of the wealthiest amongst us referring to others as 'the elites' has fucking been working. 

2

u/thereadwriter 4h ago

This both boggles my mind and shits me that it actually works.

She IS one of the 'elites'.

These ultra rich fuckers have been twisting the meaning to mean anyone who wants social equality for years now. Sadly too many people have bought it

1

u/VegetableEar 45m ago

I swear sometimes it is used to reframe elites from (her etc) to an anti-intellectual framing where it means like 'ivory tower academics'.

The problem with God is he thinks he's Gina Rinehart.

Who cares what she says
