I get thie sense powerful criminals have a world-view of “all power is corrupt, and it’s just arbitrary which gang manages to label the rest criminals”. Ie a view that the world is run along de facto criminal lines at the top, and law-abiding conduct is for middle class suckers

This kind of idea is also found in anarchist/libertarian critiques of the state, and in Hitler/Carl Schmitt nihilism (see the intro to Snyder's Black Earth, quoted here: https://omniorthogonal.blogspot.com/2018/04/you-know-who-else-was-conflict-theorist.html … )

Hmm I wonder if the key difference between the criminal and the conflict theorist is that the former is actually superior in at least acknowledging a contempt-worthy but legitimate place for the law-abiding, as suckers. Partial Hobbesian: struggle of a few among themselves
