The hatred towards rich and succesful people is one of the harder to grasp concepts I've been dealing with in reddit. I don't get it. I do but I don't.
you learn enough about the victims of capital, you start to hate the people who own it. killing them wouldn't solve anything, but i'd still throw a party if they beefed it.
Hating someone because they're wealthy is no different from hating someone because they're black or jew
It's not though. Wealth disparity has a profound impact on almost all of our lives and well being. Blacks and Jews do not, but are sometimes used as a scapegoat for the issues that disparity causes us.
I wouldn't say it's about how rich and successful they are, it's more that they benefit from a system that brutalizes so many. And they're not just participating in it, they're actively enabling it. Hell, i don't know about musk, but bezos had his part in shaping it.
