Why do people hate rich and successful people

I agree there’s a system that exists to make sure that most of us don’t make it there or reach there. Indirectly even we’re part of it we enable them to do it as well. However there are people who have broken it and have shown anyone can do it.

can you share more such links?

So why don’t we hold the same governments accountable as much as we talk about the rich or mock them. Why are we united when mocking rich people but divided when it comes to the people who are actually supposed to make sure about your development. We will still go vote based on what dumb caste / religion / bias that we have.

Governments (and corporations) have been spinning the narrative for years. It’s always been a class issue, spun to make the common folks believe it’s a religion or caste war. While a lot of folks are now aware of the system, a major number of people still believe that they’re not successful because of (minority/caste/religion), all the while the true, the hidden rich pass the laws beneficial to them. Barring a few outliers, being “successful” requires you coming from an already successful background, while this isn’t the problem by itself, combined with things like ordinary folks paying taxes to bail corporations and billionaires out only validates the narrative that they will not be able to amass the ridiculous amounts of wealth without a system of exploitation

It’s not political in nature it’s more to do with human behaviour and thinking.

The difference being that they’re mocked cause they were rich but if this was some poor person trying to illegally migrate to a country social media would be full of sympathy and what not.

They’re rich cause they or their ancestors worked hard / smart at one point. You too can do the same and enjoy it or the coming generations can.

Poor / Middle class has gotten into this entitlement mentality and the rich rather than be the rich mentality. I myself come from a middle class background.

You cant use this incident for this discussion because thats not what happened in this particular incident and makes no sense linking the two

1. I know a few people personally who’ve started from absolutely nothing but have made it their business into multi million if not billions while treating their employees well.

2. Bribes happen most often than not due to the incompetent and greedy politicians and the red tapism that exists within our country. Which forces even the good ones to resort to such practices.

3. Regardless of how they’re rich unless it’s related to trafficking, terrorism , murder or something of that sort I believe we should still see them as humans and not mock them in times of distress.
