I think even moderate wealth can do this to a person who has billionaire brain rot. Number go up syndrome doesn’t take extreme wealth

I don't think this has anything to do with them being super rich. They are just fascists who happened to become super rich. Or is there any evidence that any of those cunts was extremely left wing when they were young?

So no left wing or center can become rich?
I feel a fallacy here but I can't put my finger on it.
BTW power do change the brain of people according to research so...

I would posit that it takes a certain type of person to become super rich in the first place.
