Generalized hatred is not real hatred. Only hatred aimed at a person counts.
Generalized hatred at unknown private jet owner doesn't count because it's not actionable .
It only counts if you can congregate on that person property (real or virtual) to make them feel the hatred in the form of insults, chants and so forth
A generalized "eat the rich!" chant won't make a billionaire lose sleep
I bet if you surveyed a representative group of Americans, a very small portion would even know who Paul Allen is.
Anyway, in the developed world, the "social hatred" the other person referred to is generalized. The average person probably can probably name fewer billionaires than they have fingers and toes (if that), but images of mansions, yachts, private jets, supercars, lavish jewelry, etc. factor prominently in the backlash against our modern gilded age.
