How can you tell if someone is kind? Ask how rich they are

I am sure it doesn't help that plenty of people say ugly things like "eat the rich." Plenty of rich folks "have dozens of friends and the fun never ends -- that is, as long as they're buying." If you know all the people around you would not hesitate to sell you out and only have any so-called respect whatsoever because you have money and power, it isn't like you are getting any empathy.

That shit cuts both ways.

My sense is the kind of people who say "eat the rich" actually are rich, they're just cash poor and pretending that's the same as real poor.

In my experience actually poor people want to be rich and would rather they not be eaten when that happens. It's the kids from privileged backgrounds with self-loathing and anger issues who embrace "black bloc" politics most warmly.

I am probably biased coming from mostly urban environments lately.
