Not sure if “ultra-rich” is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I’m referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.

I’m just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.

If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?

My guess is that they simply don’t consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)

I tried doing a quick internet, but didn’t find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.

    Among their favorites is “Fallout” – a post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game series of the same name.

    I find this incredibly ironic.

      IMO, Severance is even weirder.

      On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn’t nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.
