Sometimes it's individual to individual, sometimes it's group to group. Modern capitalism seems to have been crafted by and for the ruthlessly competitive strain*. The latter will take any opportunity they can to not only climb up but also keep others down. And they are willing to do so even to the detriment of not only the human race, but most life on earth, too.

*not sure yet if I mean to imply it's genetically influenced. Could be purely taught & trained.
(Cue the white, male psychologists to play "now hear me out" on that question...)
