I know what you’re saying. The people at the top are just afraid of losing their shit, so they act on that fear rather than realizing that life would be better for them too. But that doesn’t make them not malicious, and should still be treated as adversaries. Because, never forget that for every 100 idiots, blinded by their own fear, there’s 1 asshole who knows exactly what they’re doing and will do anything to keep doing it.
I’d clarify it as people at the top are afraid of “undesirables” attaining anything similar to what they have, because then how can you easily show that they are, in fact, undesirable. But otherwise I agree with your post.
At some point the drive to amass wealth doesn’t have anything to do with your own wants and instead is all about making sure others can’t have any. Pulling up the ladder behind them, so to speak.
