I don't think it's a "need for a feeling of superiority" that's keeping it this way.

I think it's because the hunger of the oligarchy is literally bottomless.

Each oligarch is in competition with all the other oligarchs.

Oligarch power is wealth.

So the oligarch feels eternal pressure to get wealthier. To beat the other oligarchs who are also constantly pressured to become wealthier. It's a variety of prisoner's dilemma.

And they get wealth by squeezing resources. Resources like us.
