I think Futurama captures the mental logic perfectly:
Fry: Yeah, that'll show those poor!
Leela: Why are you cheering, Fry? You're not rich!
Fry: True. But someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step!
Some folks just really like to believe there is an order to things, with people above them to aspire to, and people to kick down on.
people defend billionaires because they're retarded. I knew someone that was working for a solar company that made no money doing copd calls for a year that truly thought he could become a billionaire. they're delusional, delusional, delusional.
I am pretty sure billionaires pay bot farms to defend them online so a lot of it is that and the rest are the maga idiots who couldnt stop supporting pedos if their life depended on it.
You can find an example of such operations here:
Last summer, after Old Joe Biden was forced out of running for reelection and Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democrat candidate for president, the far left’s propaganda arm (that is, the establishment media) made a massive push to make this failed vice president and longtime party hack seem new and appealing. A key part of this effort was a gaggle of young “influencers” who took to Instagram and TikTok with an enthusiastic pro-Harris message. It was sincere, it was spontaneous, it was exciting — or at least that’s what it seemed to be. Now (I know, knock me over with a feather) it turns out that the whole thing was faked: the entire Harris bubble was the artificial creation of a bunch of leftist billionaires.
lol leftist billionaires.
Because Jimmy-Bob from trailer #23 in the south lot is going to be a billionaire soon.
They're hoping to become one, someday, somehow.
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
Ironically American Revolutionary Thomas Paine in his Common Sense said something that explains this quite well, "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right,[...] Time makes more converts than reason."
I gotta read some Paine, great quote. I keep having conversations about how society changes today, hopefully it isn't just a local phenomenon
Because they are idiots.
They've been conned, and it's not their fault. It is up to the people who see things objectively to kindly guide their attention towards the class war, 's the only way to win it.
The world is a big ship and most of us are fools.
