Let's dispense with the emotional imputation, then. The point is: this person is concerned about rich people being rich, not poor people being poor. Anyone actually concerned with helping the poor would look at the current system, and notice the tremendous job it's doing lifting the entire world out of poverty, and do everything they could to keep it going. So whatever the emotion, it's abundantly clear that the only thing this person actually cares about is tearing down wealthy people. To me, the emotion that best explains that fact is envy, but feel free to fill in the one that you prefer.

> Let's dispense with the emotional imputation, then. Yes, let's. You're the one pretending to read minds and attribute emotion. Stick to facts, bub. Here's another hint: just because someone's not talking about the global poor doesn't mean they don't care. That's just not the conversation they're trying to have right now. The current topic is inequality in US college admissions. Insisting that people talk about something else is just concern trolling. It's deflection from the fact that those admissions claim to be meritocratic but clearly aren't, thus a defense of both inequity and misrepresentation. Why are you so soft on things that disgust others?

Like I said, feel free to insert any other emotion that explains the facts. > Here's another hint: just because someone's not talking about the global poor doesn't mean they don't care. That's just not the conversation they're trying to have right now. The current topic is inequality in US college admissions. Which current topic? Did you read the comment I was originally responding to? It was making statements much broader than college admissions.
