Abusers always try to test how far they can push the line, how far they can push you without consequences.
Billionaires, tech bros, and politicians you know well but that I will not name are the same.
Trying to "appease" or "ignore" them never works.
Anyone who has dealt with abusers before knows this. The only thing that does work is stating and enforcing strong boundaries firmly right from the start.
Right now, absolutely nobody is doing this with them. And so, the abuse will only escalate.
