I mean, they must know how much the public mocks them, right? What are the odds they’re actively trying to make everything worse as a Jokerfied “I’m taking the whole world out with me.” kind of thing?
Just a random tin foil hat thought, don’t take this too seriously
They hate the masses and want to save humanity but in their image with them at the levers of power, they’re trying to at the same time out run all the destruction their wealth brought on as they continue to wreak shit. Def they know how bad shit is but they can’t and won’t stop until capitalism destroys itself
