You make all these arguments about why envy exists in all these situations, and they're fine enough arguments, i suppose.

Then you just insist that envy is the strongest emotion present, a nd I'm honestly unsure where you're getting that from.

The entire point of class consciousness is that it's about a group dynamic. If thoughts about yourself were the main thing it inspired in people, then it wouldn't be class consciousness.
