It's just really strange to me that our society is structured such that acquiring some wealth somehow entitles a person to acquire even more wealth?
Like, yeah that's how capitalism works, but when you frame it like that it feels very bizarre and kind of obvious that it's going to end poorly for everyone involved.
The rules of our society were made explicitly such that the accumulation and consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of a minority of people is all but inevitable.
