I don't know about "undermin[ing] the norm" but I see this kind of hypocrisy in my own family. They shout about all life being precious and abortion being murder and also how single mother's need to get harder and how they shouldn't have to pay more taxes to help lazy poor people. Both positions have one thing in common: they negatively impact non-whites and the poor more. They can't self reflect and see it, unfortunately. My family is not unique. It may not be intentional but they still clearly think that the only way they can succeed is by having others fail.

90% of economic gains are captured by the top 5%.

If you're not in the top 5% - I'm not sure this an insane world view.

If you just want to have an average job and not a career in the right field or run a business - life seems less like a positive sum game and more like a zero sum game.

It's easy for us at the top to talk about "making a bigger pie" when we get 90% of the bigger pie.
