More than half.

Everyone HATES the rich. Left right and center.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 3 hours ago

I agree with more than half. Probably. And I’m not going to be pedantic and pretend like “everyone” means literally 100% of the population.

But “everyone” is still a strong word, and we have SO many people who have been conditioned their entire lives to equate material wealth with admirable people and lives well lived. They might be jealous of the rich, but it’s the same way they might be jealous of a professional athlete or a rock star. It’s not “fuck that guy,” it’s “I want to be that guy.”

Regardless of their feelings on the rich, I think you'll find that most people aren't ok with the murder.

I really need a new word for it. Hate isn't right, detest is too little, loath feels dormant... I need a word to describe the roiling plasma of rage that rests in my heart.

Infuriated? Disgusted to the point of destruction? I mirror your sentiment, I can't help but be so incredibly angry all the time, it's really hard to focus or direct that energy anymore. Also love a cthulhu mythos reference, nice name.

Despise? Disgusted by? Hmmm.....
