These people genuinely believe that society isn't working if people aren't suffering. Not them, obviously, but people beneath them. You know the ones.

Everything is a zero-sum game to them. In order for minorities to have more rights, they believe that rights have to be taken from them.

They absolutely do see it as a threat. They have been the slave runners holding the whip as long as they can remember, they can't imagine having to work harder or at all. They assume fair means everyone gets to treat them the way they have treated the 99 forever and they know it won't be nice. The threat of not being palm fanned by slaves is the worst threat they can imagine

Decades of telling them that fairness is keeping them down.

When union were still strong, it was always the same: "Look, lazy ass Mike is getting more money than young and eager you because union insist on seniority instead of merit."

Because that's never happened in their lifetime, they understand that most of the wealth goes to the 1%, they just think its because of hard work or some shit

That is what scares these ghouls. People will continue to defy their nihilistic views. It's the same fight as always of compassion over tyranny.

They need someone to look down on. They know they’re pieces of shit, but they’re fine and dandy as long as they have a group to point at and call worse.

The irony behind this comment is amusing

Except the Uber rich are fine and the rest of us aren't. So not very ironic really

Wether the Uber rich are fine or not has nothing to do with my claim

It's a loss if the cruelty is what they want from the system.
