      Pretty much. He was bullied most of his life and was an intolerable dickhead. Few people liked him for who he was. He was a sociopath and learned how to manipulate people to pretend to be charismatic or charming to get what he wanted.

      Which was revenge on all the people he felt wronged him.

          Surely not. It’s not like anyone could be compared to Hitler or Mussolini right now on the world stage. It’s not like anyone who could is a deeply disturbed individual who’s using their powers to enrich themselves materially, and to get revenge on all the “bullies” that said mean things to them.

          It’s a good thing there’s not someone like that on the world stage right now, because it’d mean we’ve learned fuck-all from history.
