Comment on Every TV show or movie with a story about rich people doing weird, messed up stuff is probably happening IRL to rednecks in some poduck shitberg town on a smaller scale.

I’m suggesting the exact opposite.

That we tell stories of drama and tradgedy and greed and irrational decisions when we think that opportunity and resources aren’t limitations. As if those limits prevent normal people from losing their morals.

In reality, it’s just normal human behavior. The desire for wealth and power and greed doesn’t know or depend on how much money you have. We once fought to the death over water and livestock and crops. That hasn’t changed.
