You made the claims before, but can you back them up? The fact that somewhere on Reddit, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook you can find it happening isn't data or evidence, or even a meaningful anecdote. You can find anything and everything expressed in those massive forums.



Isn't a common occurrence meaningful evidence (regardless if someone says it on reddit or in a conversation at a bar)? I am kind of surprised that there are people who have seemingly not encountered this attitude.

I don't have an academic study on it or anything, but maybe someone has done that. A quick google reveals stuff like: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-hate-rich-people


> Isn't a common occurrence meaningful evidence

We have no idea on how common it is. Common, in your experience is just an anecdote (and humans, including me, are bad at subjectively judging things like that).


Ah, I see :) Yes, I have no measurements or anything like that, just a gut feeling based on how frequently I have seen it, which could easily be biased.
