The sociopathic baby-men (and women) who believe cooperation is a weakness. Unless it primarily benefits them.
Other people are competition to them; if they're not the center of attention, if they can't own the outcome, anything that's going on without their agreement or approval is an attack against them.

Those idiots have always been with us. They are never able to think beyond themselves.
