As in, they're power tripping? Absolutely. When you get a false sense of importance, especially when you have sycophants reinforcing this image, narcissists in particular tend to act poorly toward their fellow human beings.

This is one of the best reasons to socially stigmatize wealth hoarding, even if you can't change the fundamentals of the capitalist system that causes it in the first place.

If enough people make people who hoard money feel lesser than, to the point that having less is a preferable alternative, then they're more likely to give away their wealth and become at least a little bit less shitty people.

This is also, coincidentally, why rich people isolate themselves within bubbles of similarly rich individuals, who won't look down on them for being so greedy and narcissistic.

This is why we should have mandatory testing for NPD and be institutionalising anyone who tests positive. Narcissists cannot be allowed to walk the streets freely, their mental illness is too dangerous.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. A narcissist is someone with NPD. And they all deserve the gas chamber treatment.

People with certain mental disorders aren't fit to live in society. Donald Trump is proof of that. And if you think we should extend mercy to people with his disorder, you're defending a fascist.

Was also a narcissist. He literally told people to worship him. He probably only fed the hungry and healed the sick for attention.

And your solution, killing everyone in a category, isn't fascistic?
