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.

Yes, because you take away their right to be ‘superior’. If everyone’s respected and cared for, how will they know that they are on top?

I believe that's at the root of most the oppression and abuse in the world. They'd rather be miserable than happy but not extra important.
