> completely ignore the nice words people use

Kind of an unrelated topic but I'm reminded of a video essay in which the creator talks about this. They put it very kindly, IMO:

> Rich and powerful people have quite a different attitude and approach to truth and lies and games compared to ordinary people.

Which sounds like a really nice way of saying that rich and powerful people are dishonest by ordinary standards.
