    I wish we, as a society, would label companies which cause more harm than good as such.

      A large swath of American society today sees a movie like Scarface as an inspirational biopic, not a modern Shakespearean tragedy.

      Lots of especially younger people see unbridled ambition and rule-breaking as a virtue. Everything is about making money and if you're not the one getting it, or worse, you're the person being victimized, you're dumb and weak.

        I dont know if I would blame young people as much. Those are values of the generation before them. Literally represented by over 40 years old like Vance, Musk and well, the whole conservative establishement.

        Young people are more open in expressing it (like with Tate), but underlying ideas are not new.
