The glorification and normalization of "lack of empathy" as a moral and ethical inherent good, is extremely disturbing to see.
The problem isn't unequal yachts, its when that same mindset is applied everywhere else in society, to political power, judicial protection, civil rights. "Why are you bothered by police gunning down unarmed black teen boys, you're not an unarmed black teen boy and the cops haven't done anything bad to you so far, you're getting enough justice its just that some small fraction get much less justice and thats OK because they're not you"
