@Roman Doez, you're generalizing the rich into big bad guys like in cartoons, I think. Since you've seen a few in power do shit to a lot of people, you allow yourself to hate them all, it's the same way of thinking as a racist.

I won't blame the people getting manipulated and turned against each other, I'd rather blame those responsible for that lol

@Roman Doez, I won't hate the rich, because a part of them have acquired their wealth, by working hard, while coming from a pour family. The main people to blame for what is happening are ourselves, for having elected wrong people

In France alone, during the revolution, people didn't like the Bretons and the Vendéens, then it was enemy countries during the Napoleonic wars, then Polish and Italian immigrants, then Algerian immigrants, etc.

Then we should all collectively hate the rich, at least we'd hate people actively harming us

It was Machiavelli who explained that the best way to unite people is to find a common enemy to hate.

In every political regime throughout human history, people have hated something, whether it's another ethnicity, religion, or way of thinking. It's not about capitalism.
