Class envy? Hmmm. I’ve honestly spent a lot of time soul searching and my sincere hatred for the rich isn’t based on envy.
If I wanted to be rich, I’m pretty sure I could have managed it by now. But I seem to be lacking the “fuck-the-rest-of-you” gene. It’s not my drive.
For me the rich’s lavish exuberance and total disdain for the “have nots” is what gets my fires burning.
To the rich I think (perhaps unfairly, since I don’t know their specific situations, but I believe statistically correct), “You are in a position where you could help people, and instead you’re buying another few houses, or another yacht, or another dozen cars. You’re helping elect morally bankrupt tools, who are also rich, to keep you rich at the expense of everyone else. Fuck you into oblivion.”
That’s not envy. I don’t want what they have. I want them to be better people with what they have, or GTFO. At this point, guillotine or rocket, I honestly don’t care which.
