    Generally most people don’t hate rich people simply because they’re rich, and they don’t even really hate all rich people. They hate very rich people that are vocal about how they think they deserve everything they have because they worked for it when they actually benefited from generational wealth, or they hate the head of the company that has shitty working conditions and busts unions, or they hate the rich person that funnels their money into politics to fuck over every day citizens.

      Exactly. Although it is easy for me to generalize when I see such shitty behavior from rich people so often. I even have relatives who have 14 cars, give nothing to charity, and bitch about paying taxes. They disgust me.

        Y’know, Sometimes the same behavior can exist within the poor people too. I have a cousin whose always do what rich people does, despite he’s bragging about how corrupted rich people’s are. He always buy lots of expensive gaming equipment whenever he can (basically when he get enough money, from the jobs which he’s often complain), but never use his money properly for goods (he also a smokers btw). And just like rich people, he have lots of arguments to justify his lavish lifestyle to became “cool gamer” (he’s not a content creator, and also unemployed). His family sometimes complaining about his way of life that’s not very productive, but again . . . He always have cope mechanism for such good criticism.

        Idk if he’s still a poor or a rich person now, but what I see is something in the middle, worse than rich people themselves
