Why do people keep being fooled by rich assholes
People have grown up reading comic books and watching movies about generous billionaire superhero saviors. They want to believe that exists because it's what they've been taught justice looks like.
They do exist they just prefer to be anonymous in their altruism so nobody hears about them.
