Michelle Obama: Former US first lady says she has 'low-grade depression'. Is she mildly depressed in the $8 million dollar place in DC or the $12 million dollar place in Martha's Vineyard?

Nah, the 1% are disproportionately sociopaths. Remove them, and the world is a better place. "Eat the rich", remember?

All of my arguments are sound ones, and used on any other member of the 1% you'd be applauding. It's just because this lady is one of your tribe, so you're not treating her like the enemy. Spoiler alert: she's not in your tribe. She would never have anything to do with a disgusting commoner like yourself. Like George Carlin said, "It's a club, and you ain't in it."

Lol, she’s not in my ‘tribe’. I’m not a fan of hers, I don’t follow her at all, but I also don’t hate her.

Generally speaking, I don’t need to be passionate about someone or something to stand up against words or actions I feel are disrespectful or unlawful.

All of my arguments are sound ones, and used on any other member of the 1% you'd be applauding.

Again, you make great assumptions. My view of the world, regardless of the group, is much more nuanced than that. I think you’re projecting, given your tendencies to generalize and jump to conclusions.

I think she is. These "leave her alone!" reactions happen when people we care about are attacked. Tribal membership is the most likely explanation. Despite Michelle not reciprocating, but ruling class are like that.

The world would be a better place without every single one of these predominantly sociopaths.

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/
