I like the idea, and I used to believe in it (or maybe "intentionally believe" in it).
But over the last few years I have seen so many people write casually about how other people should suffer (from poverty) or even die (from lack of medicine, or starvation) because they don't have citizenship or whatever. As if non-citizens "deserve" what happens to them. They mostly don't say it explicitly, but it is undeniably an obvious consequence of the policies they advocate.
And the schadenfreude. When stories come up about those things actually happening to people, I see comments in favour, cheering on the suffering. Sometimes a lot of comments.
As a result, I'm pretty sure a lot of people really don't wish for a world that is fair to everyone else.
