He’s a sociopath. He has no concept of empathy. All he cares about is his own power. Which is true of a lot of politicians, sadly. And yes, it is a very alien way of looking at the world, but a disturbing number of people are sociopaths.
I’m of the opinion that one of the major perquisites for those seeking a leadership position is the presence of some narcissistic/egocentric/sociopathic traits. It varies in degree from person to person, but the magnitude of their ambition and their degree of success at keeping their positions all depend on how many of these traits they possess. Not all of these traits are necessarily bad to have in a leader, but they tend to come in mixed bags.
When individual humans reach a certain level of power and wealth they tend to self isolate. This is a natural response, they need to start to see themselves as different and set apart from regular humans, because the things they need to do to keep growing their wealth and power start to become increasingly inhuman.
Here’s a link to an article full of the insane things billionaires have tried to justify, in their own little books, and these are just the things they are happy to share. The complete disconnect from their reality and ours becomes terribly pain to see once you read their thoughts.
It is a weird realization to understand that some people don’t understand empathy for their fellow man. In many cases not simply don’t have empathy, but don’t understand it, like it is actually a foreign concept for them.
We see this when examining many dictators like Putin, that his entire view of international politics is shaped by this mindset that civilians are disposable pawns to be thrown away at the pleasure of those above them, and keeps making faulty assumptions of how other people will act based on this. The important takeaway I think is that when people immerse themselves deep enough in such cruel thinking, the cruelty eventually becomes second nature.
This is what blows me away. If I did anything that could be linked to any kind of serious harm to someone, I would be fucking devastated.
It’s almost like these people are aliens when you look at their ability to just not give a single fuck about anyone

Oh I bet he understands empathy. He just doesn’t see workers as “fellow men”.
More like grit on the bottom of his boot.
