It doesn't matter how much they have, I think it's a coping mechanism: if they earned it, it means I can also earn it if I work hard enough.

So how do you convince someone that they're never going to be rich?

Also how long before people realize courts, police, etc exist to protect the wealthy and influential from the rest, not for the common good. It should be clear that the “common good” was a carrot on a stick.

Oh it's beyond ridiculous. The proles who continue to defend billionaires will use insane justifications as to why these leeches deserve their wealth.

But, I think the extreme inequality as definitely nearing its boiling point. The whole thing with Luigi and the UHC CEO made it quite clear just how fed up many, many people are. Unfortunately, with Trump and other shitheads of his ilk around the world taking over countries, I don't think any societal revolution looks promising in the near future.

The problem is that the average person has been conditioned to live vicariously through these oligarchs and their children.

This generation has sold itself out. Being a useful idiot is cool. Fighting back against the disparity in wealth, I'm not joking, makes you worse than pedophiles in the eyes of the average consumer.

Well, it took a vacation. But it's definitely back.
