Developmentally delayed
Adolescence. A time when hormones are raging. Behavior is erratic. Over reacting is rampant. Very physical, lots of pushing, bumping, hitting, getting even. Denying disagreeable things whether they are true or not. And the list goes on. Most of us are very familiar with adolescent behavior.
On the other hand, most people outgrow it.
The people who did not are acting out now even if they are twenty, thirty, seventy. Frustrated by their own incompetence, or lack of power or understanding, they are trying out their ideas for how to get their own adolescent way and make themselves happy. Not realizing it isn't the world they need to change, but themselves.
If you have enough money you can do anything, even become president of the United States, but the rest of us need to live by a moral code that says other people, ALL other people, are important and should have the same basic rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That means food, healthcare, education and the right to live unmolested and not be made into scapegoats by those who have enough power and money to abuse them.
Without these things we are no better than all the other people in history who lived under regimes that led to the deaths of millions of innocent people.
