The Irony of Demanding Free Everything While Demonizing the Wealthy

I just had a “profound” revelation: some leftists want everything to be free, yet they also demonize the rich—the very people whose wealth would be used to pay for those services.

Exactly. Same thing I pointed out around Thanksgiving.
All they did was bitch and moan about all kinds of stuff and completely forget about the nature of a holiday centered around…being thankful for the things you have and family/friends

They demonize what they are told to demonize.

No matter the poverty or wealth level, the happiest people are the grateful ones, the most miserable are the ungrateful ones.

Nothing says unemployed with college debt as calling yourself a top consultant on LinkedIn and ranting about how much rich people suck.

Envy is a central driving force in the Human psyche; Helmut Schoeck wrote an excellent historical book documenting its power and the way society and culture reacted to it.
Although Shock did not address the philosophical/moral/religious dynamics as such relates to today’s culture war, IMO, the idea of Envy is central to the whole Creative Paradigm. The allegorical narrative of Lucifer being envious of God and desiring to be worshipped equally as God, sets the table for virtually endless “wailing and gnashing of teeth” in this particular Spiritual Realm. “The poor will be with you ALWAYS “, and bring envy with them. The Ten Commandments nws; or a hundred ‘commandments’ for that matter.

Maybe some. The majority of people (left or right) want it to be more fair and less corrupt.

And the only way to achieve that is through less government and more personal accountability.
Let’s push to end equality of outcome as much as possible in all walks of life as it is rooted in envy.

I've said this many times about progressives:
They hate you and want you dead, but they will do everything they can to fleece you before they dance on your grave. They need you way more than you need them. They literally cannot live the lifestyle they feel they deserve without stealing from those they hate.

This is bullshite.
The left wants more regulation and higher taxes. That squeezes out the little guy.

There always has to be a “boogie man”. For the poor, it’s the rich. For the blacks, it’s whitey.

This is exactly what the elites want you to believe but I bet if you go talk to most americans in person they all have the same goal in common. They want less corruption and fairness across the board. You know, things like a clean healthy environment and to not have a heart attack and go homeless because of medical debt.
