      Capitalism rewards the mental illnesses of psychopathy, narcissism, megalomania, greed, and sadism with wealth and power…

      All an adversary like Putin needed to do was target this class of criminal parasites who were more than happy to do the devils bidding; they were doing it all along.

    I hate headlines like this. You don’t need a euphemism (like SpaceX boss) any time you need to refer to a person for a second time.

    Are journalists that afraid of using pronouns?
