I don’t think most people want to see poor people hurt, I think they’re just apathetic, especially to problems that are far enough away to ignore. Raise my taxes to help someone a thousand miles away? Hell No! Donate to the local Salvation Army? Here’s $20.
I do actually think most people want to see poor people hurt, just in very passive detached ways.
They want poor people to not be allowed to have fun, to be forced into borderline slave labour, etc.
The poor have been demonized for 4 decades plus in rw media, and it’s bled through to the controlled opposition long since. While many people you know might not openly endorse fucking the poor, that is neither here nor there. How do you not already know this?
