Before industrialization and the infrastructure to use oil, religion was the main source of wealth and power. These assholes simply changed work modes.
Yeah that’s true of every place on earth. It’s just a coincidence that people in power in oil rich parts of the world are assholes? Putin, Mister Bonesaw, Maduro in Venezuela, whoever runs things in Iran these days… all a bunch of assholes. All in places where religion was dominant in the past, but is that really the determiining factor?

Well maybe we can link religious extremism with oil profiteering. It fits in the middle east and in Texas.
