>>6449840>"the RICH are UNFAIR and CRUEL?"hehe here is another opinion, maybe anons have other experiences. This is a strange paradox but I almost guarantee you this: if you met any random politican or high net worth individual at a tech investment conference, art opening or maybe even a fashion show hehe, you will find they are irresistibly friendly, intelligent, entertaining, compassionate, sympathetic, captivating, attractive, reasonable, engaging, humane, appealing, tolerant, welcoming and approachable amiable and well-informed. You will have a good time
Similarly, if you encounter some random person in everyday life who is UNFAIR and CRUEL, mean, petty, frustrating, ill-mannered, rude, ugly, impatient, uncouth, angry, offensive hurling explicit invectives expletives slurs, racist bigotry or demeaning stereotypes judgemental assertions there is a likelihood this person is low income, poorly educated
Unlike faery tales, RICH PEOPLE seem KIND and NICE, POOR PEOPLE seem UNFAIR and CRUEL.
(Trump is special, maybe he is changing this. But even then they say Trump is lovely and charming, met in person behind the headlines)
It is a function of ECONOMIC PRECARIOUSNESS! You are rich you can afford to be nice and kind! You have ample leisure time! You do lots of philanthropy, donate and volunteer for multiple charities!! The system empowers you, of course you reinforce it, everything is great
You are low income struggling with the burden of multiple wage-earning occupations? well you will probably be short-tempered and uncaring of the difficulties of other people! (it is all the fault of smelly immigrants etc) The system dealt you exploitative hardmode game difficulty at birth, you are totally seething
The irony is this is COMPLETELY INFEPENDENT of intrinsic individual HUMAN SENSE OF VIRTUE moral compassion etc. The opposite of that bible parable The Widow's Mite (you want poor people to display charity??)
The UNFAIRness and CRUELty is an emergent phenomenon from the RICH at a macro level, it is not one evil person perpetrating it, not even hypocrisy. The system that produces a lady who genuinely volunteers at charity and builds schools in Africa also requires rampant sporadic militarised warmongering (please donate to my human rights NGO)
>>6436752>>6442050Unfair cruelty emerges invisibly only at the aggregate structural macro level. You try to investigate and disentangle responsibility and attribute blame for cruelty violence exploitation and war - you cannot find or pinpoint any one person to solve it (if someone emerges like Epstein lol, it is a convenient constructed diversionary scapegoat for the behaviour of an entire strata of jetsetting wealthy exploitative society IN AGGREGATE). You meet the defense industry people they are super nice attractive and clever, when they were speaking I kept nodding along in agreement with them, as they discussed Ukraine
