Why are they like this ?
- Because they can, they have power, they are key players in many crucial industries and financial entities : the systematic destruction of historic collectives has atomized individual which are all but depoliticized.
- Neo-liberalism preaches that wealth and capital accumulation are legitimacy, they are achievement of the Self and therefore nothing is owed. Therefore as a liberal elite, you don't need to have legitimacy with the people - and any dissent from the people can be construded as jealousy, ignorance, ramblings from useless people that could not succeed.
- Liberalism does not equate greater wealth/status with greater responsibility toward your lesser unlike much-decried feudalism.
Is it really surprising that under an ideological system that's universalist, that places individualism as the most sacred value, and wealth accumulation as the main marker of greatness that we get a ruling class that's self-centered and uprooted. Lots of people say they want feudalism 2.0 but feudalism had clear roles defined from birth. Nobles had to protect their subjects, had to give them land to farm, places to build a house, were responsible for the fructification of their land, had to go to war (at least before centralization destroyed these concepts). Now the elite speculates on housing, organize population replacements and wage competition between rich countries and the third world, will never ever go to war, and build bunkers so they and their families can survive the cataclysmic type event they might cause. WEF is just the result of Liberalism over many years : an hyperclass of self-centered and self-righteous ultra-wealthy, who do not feel part of any historical collective, culture community, race, land etc... and who have only one goal : maintain status, wealth and power through any means necessary.
