Your view of human nature is overly simplistic. Sure, you could say that a significant portion of people base their opinions purely on emotion, but not everyone. I certainly don’t belong in that bucket of emotional/tribalist thinkers. But it appears that you do, because you’ve demonstrated that you are passionately in the ‘commoner’ tribe and vehemently against the ‘rich’ tribe.

We’re talking past each other. You’re so keen on asserting that the way you view the world, and view a complete stranger like myself, is fact, rather than engaging in a discussion.

You are, too. What you have is called "false consciousness". If you are not woke to the reality of systemic oppression of the 99% by the 1%. See: https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-false-consciousness/
