And indeed when they earn their financial freedom, they want to protect the status quo. So they start seeing others as threats: be it young people wanting more rights, employees wanting fair salaries, immigrants coming for your hard earned money, everyone is a threat. This is the how the mind of an unempathic person works. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BurningRiver@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age. Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Enkrod@feddit.org 4 points 2 years ago or that we should stop eating cats and dogs. Of course we’ll keep doing those things. Wait, what? permalink fedilink source parent
