    I don’t know if he’s American but many people have the POV like the American mindset. Everything is a capitalistic competition. So - particularly if somebody gets something free - they are “cheating” somehow. And - of course - the angry person is even angrier if the people involved are an other so there’s misogyny, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.

    It gets weirder the richer the angry person is. Even billionaires get mad this way and they’re winning capitalism by a score of 100,000s of times more than the average person but it’s not enough. Nothing is ever enough.
