Oh are we listing arbitrary inventions or historical events to prove our points?
People are selfish and greedy:
Subprime mortgage crisis
Enron
George Soros shorting the British pound
The entire Mongolian expansion and their culture of rape and pillaging
* Small time Nazi officers stealing Jewish people's wedding rings
* Too big to fail
* Literally any employment contract where people are laid less than market value.
* Thieves exist.
* Murderers exist
* Corruption exists
* Swindlers exist
I guess that acknowledging human nature is edgy now. Well, fuck it. I must be edgy then.
