Not sure if “ultra-rich” is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I’m referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.
I’m just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.
If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?
My guess is that they simply don’t consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)
I tried doing a quick internet, but didn’t find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.
He just loves the little butt-headed dudes with big ears. Wishes he could be just like them.
Nah, those guys actually have rules
Except, like any religion, the rules were ultimately self-contradictory and open to any convenient interpretation.
“A deal is a deal is a deal. But only between Ferengi.”
Nah, he thinks he’s Q but in reality he’s just Harry Mudd.
More like a Tribble, because you just can’t seem to escape him
And he keeps breeding
I mean, plastic surgery is pretty advanced these days. The body mod scene can also get pretty extreme. Musk certainly has the resources for it. Fuck it. Let’s all just try to convince him to get himself surgically altered to have giant Ferengi forehead and ears.
