This is an idiotic post. Yes, they are human. Yes they may make bad decisions, but so do poor people. They just don't make enough to matter.

They're trained to.

I believe that's because they are the same as them (or would like to be) and would behave the exact same way if they were in their position.

Maybe bc they are human?

They be dragons.

It makes me wonder if some of the dragons written in literature are just an allegory for the ultra wealthy and powerful of their time that were hoarding unimaginable wealth while the huddled masses starved.

From personal experience from people that I know who love to defend the wealthy they believe that if we defend the wealthy and give them everything that they want eventually thry will give us something back as well and we will enjoy a better life. Somehow?

The rich people are almost all psychopaths and probably got that way because of the way wealth warps people's minds.

Because they "earned" or achieved wealth, i.e. worked really hard to become rich

People are brainwashed. They have been for generations. And only very few even like to admit that they are brainwashed. I was too... Luckily I woke up, and became both woke and able to think critically...

Numerous reasons.

Lots of people don’t want anyone to disturb the system…”upend the apple cart” as it were. A known, even if shitty, is still better than the unknown. Like people pining for lives under the rule of some harsh autocrat. Even if your neighbor disappeared one night thanks to the State Police, it was better than worrying about the less-harsh policing that lets kids get away with graffiti-ing everything or the petty theft you’re always hearing about.

Also, if they come for the rich people, they’ll come for you. If they tax the rich, they’ll tax you. If you support the rich, people will remember that, and they’ll come for you.

Maybe a little of the “I could be rich someday” idea too, so they support obscene wealth with the idea they could somehow also be rich no matter how minuscule the chance. The irony being the wealthy are the ones supporting barriers preventing you from even achieving financial security, forget ever being wealthy.

Because they’re cucks

There are lots of poor narcissists too...

They are human. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that, while also reiterating that they basically shouldn’t be in that state.

Also, I think it’s important to draw a line between the “rich” (well-off working professionals like researchers, doctors, small entrepreneurs), and people with more wealth than many sovereign states put together.

Because they get paid to do so.
