Yes. Crazy as in truly psychopathic. Not the name calling version. Here’s chatgpt on the medical/psychological definition of psychopathy:

Key traits associated with psychopathy include: 1. Affective Traits: • Lack of empathy (emotional detachment from others’ suffering) • Shallow emotions (restricted emotional range) • Absence of guilt or remorse • Callousness 2. Interpersonal Traits: • Superficial charm • Grandiosity (inflated sense of self-worth) • Manipulativeness • Deceptiveness or pathological lying

People defend planetary scale psychopathy because it’s quite literally business as usual.
