    if they see that someone’s getting something they’re not getting: “that’s not faaaaaaiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrr”

    if they get something other people aren’t getting: “i earned it!!!”

      I agree but that’s not limited to conservatism at all. Many liberals feel the same way in third person, outraged that anyone is wealthy if anyone else isn’t.

        A small amount of people are upset some people make a lot of money. A larger amount of people are upset others make 10,000x more than that.

        I am just outraged that some people are starving because they can’t afford food while other people have so much money that they don’t even know how they could spend it all.

          I agree that’s a bad thing, but people’s standard for too much money is always more than their own wealth. Shouldn’t all of us who consistently have a roof over our heads and aren’t hungry feel like part of the problem too? It seems to me that anyone enjoying a DoorDash meal, when the delivery charge and tip could feed a whole family somewhere, should feel at least some guilt and not just point the finger.
