>>510535390 (OP)I think all the oligarchy has engaged in some form of 'social taboo' as a means of declaring their superiority to rules in general.
Most people at this level are generally hedonists at heart because they exist in a pathological state of mind that would mimic psychopathy. Everyone you know is competition. Everyone you know is a competitor you must grind to dust. Everyone below you are ants to be smashed and sheep to be slaughtered. Everyone above you is a rival to take over. Greed is your mainstay in life and those who don't have the same drive as you are malcontents and spineless cowards.
Of course you're going to have people satisfying "exotic tastes" be they moral or amoral in nature. Firstly, who's going to stop you? Secondly, it doesn't matter because the people that are beneath you are not humans; they are resources to be exploited.
This is the mindset of our rulers and why all of them must be uprooted one by one until there is nothing left to lead anyone. If it goes to a point where no man is capable of leadership then we shall focus all of our might into ASI as to relieve our pathetic selfish lives of the burden of our own stupidity and then we MIGHT actually have a shot at saving our species.
