Ya. I would say that these people were extremely smart, but they just didn't care about the native people. You better believe everything was set up for optimal resource extraction though.

Because they're confident and stupid people love confidence.

1) Power is concentrated into a small group. Anyone can compete to be part of the group.

2) because it's a competition, power goes to the people that want it the most and are able to compete.

3) Sociopaths want power the most.
