      Abstraction. These people are in such a different class compared to the average person that they basically don’t associate with them, so they never see the consequence of their downright evil actions… up until a scorned man with nothing to lose makes them very clear very quickly.

        They got generational wealth out of it.

        I wouldn’t worry about them… People Brian Thompson murdrr and their families didn’t get nothing.

        Never forget

          I’m not worrying about them, I’m just curious. For example, Do they feel any kind of remorse because they were impacted? I mean they didn’t before

            From my experience no… They are mentally operating on a different plane and if they get clipped at some point, it was just cost of doing business.

            Never remorse.

      The most defining trait of Sociopaths and Psychopaths is having no empathy, so for people like this the suffering of others, be it of their own making or not, has about as much emotional impact as the “suffering” of a leaf of lettuce when they eat it or of a piece of paper they crumple and thrown in the trashcan.

      This also means that, amongst other things, they feel no guilt whatsoever (would you feel guilt from eating a leaf of lettuce?!) and will sleep like babies with the blood of thousands on their hands.
