well that is insecurity for you. People who have known hunger and

Its the same with money. And status, and power. Men with little dicks
become Napoleons, Hitlers or climate scientists.

The terminally  useless become Marxists in order to blame their total
inadequacy on *someone else* rather than take responsibility for it.

And so it all goes on. Human systems are supposed to be designed to
limit the damage such people can do to the species. I think we have
rather forgotten that.
