Oh God, what a sad day to know how to read. "Why should I favor the people that at some point had struggles like mine and has better chances to understand and empathize with me over the people who cannot understand what the expression 'paycheck to paycheck' really entails?"

Thinking that multi-millionaires/billionaires will "understand their privilege" or that they will be "magnanimous" is beyond naivite and goes straight to stupidity. Have you read any news in the past decade‽‽

The generation of elites fostered by academic "meritocracy" have little achievements and clearly are unable to solve or even perceive modern problems. In contrast, those who were fostered in closed patronage networks navigated their countries in times of great uncertainty and built many of the institutions we rely on today.
