I'm hesitant to say PINO but there is definitely a cadre of folks who want (for example) food and shelter for the homeless and for their enemies to starve to death in a ditch.
Yeah, it's amazing how fast some people can dehumanise their perceived enemies yet stil think they're the good guys.
This has been repeated in case studies around the world since then but the Nuremberg Trials were the first public use of "But of course the other officers at Auschwitz were terrible people but I am not a terrible person!" The psychology would be interesting if it weren't so frikkin horrific. But I suspect SBF isn't that so much as a complete and total narcissist and sociopath.
Some of these "enemies" dehumanise themselves very easily. Narcisistic sociopaths who actively and openly brag about manipulating "idiots", saying they're the best shit to ever grace the earth and downplay their crimes while laughing all the way to the bank to withdraw ill gotten gains? Yeah, real hard to believe they'd ever want to redeem themselves.
Couple that with the general feeling that rich assholes always get lightly punished whenever they're caught and it's even easier to understand the bloodlust for "proper punishment" against them.
