Why don't rich people just make the world better?

What's the endgame for creating cycles desperation and strife when you have infinite capital?

Every basic answer like control or legacy doesn't make sense to me.

Many try to, according to their own standards.

Nobody has infinite capital.

Capitalism.

Before Capitalism, we had a different rules and a different game.
People were interested to help other people and make a world a better place.

Now that we have Capitalism, the rules of the game have changed. It's whomever makes the most money wins.
If the game is whomever has the most money ,
then people who make the most money are evil -
they sell drugs, start wars, steal, scam, cheapen products, outsource their manufacturing to the cheapest country possible like china, etc.

The rules of the game make it so that mostly evil bastards float to the top.

Lust. Mostly. Can't keep their hands off cute little boys and cute little girls. Remember when your aunty used to say "You're so cute I could just eat you up?" Turns our she was being serious. Anyway. I'm going to burn down the world now, and take as many of these fucking cunts and their crumpets with me. Oh they'll scream Anon. They'll beg like Dresden for the bombs to stop, but I won't. Not until the last tombs drop. Hate. True hate. The kind you can't buy or bargain for. I'll skin them alive in front of their temples, and stack their skulls around the borders of my Empire. Castles Anon. Castles of flesh and fucking bone.

They try, but they can't make the world better. As humans, we lack the ability to see the big picture, so ambitious humanist projects usually result in unforeseen catastrophes.

Every rich person is going to have a different idea of what "a better world" is, and the overlapping region of that venn diagram is going to be the rich people having more money.
>>
>>526302993
no i understand the game, i'm just saying that

>having money = means to do things
>wealthy person can do a lot of things
>wealthy person proceeds to make world worse to get more money
>world gets worse, wealthy person gets more wealthy, repeat to infinity

there's no perceivable end goal

I don't think you understand why we're here.
>>
>>526302797
The elite will create a new world by killing off 90% of the human race
>>
>>526302797
You think wealthy people can end strife and desperation? How?
>>
>>526303353
You should stop using the word infinity wrongly.
Most people don't have a specific "end goal"; they can have a lot of jobs and projects and phases of their life, some of which have end goals, but they'll move on to other things.

this is so fucking dumb dude, capitalism is a buzzword

>>526302797
theres good and bad rich people. but money < power

Bwahaha retards
Why didn't the mongolians help anyone? Why did the Zulus conquer and murder? Why did the Aztecs or Assyrians rule with terror? Why did the french likewise have a happy guillotine experience! Why did the Chinese student revolution massacre teachers?

Because imagine a huge mountain of gold with some old bastard torturing you for every coin. You stab him once and you have it all! Women, power, respect!
The Red Army of communism fought ferociously for those riches hoarded by the nobles! Go look at how the nobles treated them! Then think of how the Stasi treated the people in East Germany. Or look at the jail psychology experiment. ANY social leverage makes you hot to women who also want it. ANY power makes you wealthy with ease. Peasants who seethe eternally at the rich man like you are exactly the ones looking to murder and take over riches to be the next rich man. Age or economic system doesn't matter. In capitalism you can at least have a small chance at riches and power. It ain't fair, but it sure is better than a time when being born a perfect guaranteed poverty unless you killed and rioted and stole and pillaged.
Get a clue

they are making the world a better place - for themselves
their life just gets better by what they are doing, which is why they are doing it
nobody does anything that hurts them if they have the choice not to do that and do something that benefits them instead
>>
>>526302797
because they are low IQ and dumb, but they are smart enough to know they would lose everything eventually if the world was fair, just and improved.
They are corrupt faggots obsess with money and power, nothing more than parasites.

>>526302797
>Why don't rich people just make the world better?
How?
>>
>>526302993
This is just another flavor of the "noble savage" myth.

loosh harvesting for their masters, look it up
