May be an incident where they could not understand how much things they take for granted cost to the normies, a flagrant disregard for morals or ethics, a blatant show of arrogance or disconnectedness, or anything yould like to share.

    I used to do security consultancy work and had to explain to a Chinese half a billionaire that if he wanted his daughter to go to university in Australia and have a regular student experience he couldnt buy her a penthouse apartment and an AMG Mercedes. “But she always has THE BEST!”

    I had to explain to him that if he bought her a brand new Corolla, and rented her a “nice” apartment that she would still be considered as a “rich kid” and treated differently by all the other students.

    Once I spelled it out to him that Miss insert really common Chinese surname here would be much safer in a kind of shitty flat with a used car and a reasonable monthly budget he still had trouble wrapping his head around it. I had to explain the concept of hiding in plain sight, we set her up with a chinese-australian bodyguard who was “An old family friend” she could take to parties and so on. Her “regular” appartment got better doors and beefed up locks, coached her on her “cover story” that dad sold all his investments so she could go to school in Australia.
