Regime whores are deff more flashy but it ain't like "titans of the industry" don't party with them.

I guess there is definitely a differences there tho since celebs went to p diddy's party's while the owner political class went to Epstein parties. So there is clearly two camps.

Yeah to be clear, if it sounded like anything I said was meant as absolution, it was not. Regardless of which camp they fall into or how they display their wealth, it is impossible, to the best of my reasoned understanding, to acquire mass wealth ethically. I assume all of the ultra-wealthy are morally compromised in some capacity or another until proven otherwise.
