'The ungrateful horde is angry, he says, when they really should be celebrating their marvelous good fortune and thanking their betters"

In what respect are the Oligarch's "better"? By most measures of what what makes people worthwhile these people are at the bottom. Because they go through life practicing the morality of a predatory animal. They have destroyed the future of the planet and are bringing on irreversible global calamity and mass suffering. What the fuck is so "better" about that? They suck so bad the future of the planet would be better off if fucking Hitler was in charge!

Oppps. I just beat my own argument!

They think we envy them? I find them loathsome and as despicable as the latest mass murderer.
