Are our world leaders just incredibly apathetic and self-serving or are they full blown sadists?

I think it's naive to assume that those in power do evil simply out of self-interest or love of money, power, etc. I think it is a very real possibility that powerful people become evil in a completely irrational sense. That is to say, they will dedicate time and money to doing evil things, even when it does not benefit them materially.

Misguided loyalties or sheer stupidity I assume.

Because they are evil and irrational. There is this assumption that the "elites" are made up of those who are in complete control, but I'm sure they are just as prone to emotion, anger and wrath as anybody else, if not more so.

I know reality is more complicated than the evil elites, but realistically that's what it feels like. Corrupt people seek power and power tends to corrupt even the once well intentioned for a myriad of reasons.

I don't mean to reject Elite Theory wholesale, but just the perception that they are perfectly rational actors.
>>3178261
Sorry
>>3178266
A variety of factors. I think power does partially corrupt people, though I don't fully subscribe to that idea. I also think that society as a whole has become more evil, not just powerful people. But ultimately I can't know their hearts.
