AKS added that the public, especially the American public, does not talk about the success stories of the millionaire and billionaire commercial magnates in the same way that the public discusses the scammers and the “extraordinary”, on social networks.
“We glorify the bad, the scammer, the evil, and we see those people as heroes.”
“It used to be … This inspiring route that you would take in your career a child to ascend on a staircase or make a living and buy a house or something. Now, we vilify those people, and glorify the bad, the scammer, evil and take care of people.
“As style icons or fighters for freedom or any other image that you want to assign them. And I think … is very worrying as a social change … Why are we doing this?”
