@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@economics@a.gup.pe I don’t think the billionaires hate us. It’s more likely they can’t “see” us for their own narcissism. They act from near term financial maximization without caring about societal impacts. It’s all about “what’s in it for me now!”
@wdjorth@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@economics@a.gup.pe Eh, I think people underestimate some people's antisocial tendencies. Hate isn't always a frothing thing. Often it's a polite smile to your face and a discussion behind closed doors that if it was possible to erase your existence without any mess that would be ideal.
It's tied up in the idea that the only good people are people who are personally useful to you.
There's immense harm in that mechanistic perspective.
