Having been bullied by some parts of the lower social classes half of my child life makes it all so much easier to handle. Having the lower social classes use their democratic rights to screw things up also helps. In contrast, the higher classes I've met in my life have typically been, well, classy. Some of them might have acted against me, but not in a tormenting and barbaric way. Another viewpoint is that even if you could say that I don't deserve my currently pretty good place in life, neither would I really deserve a worse part either. Nobody would be doing better if I was doing worse.

"Having the lower social classes use their democratic rights to screw things up.." Screw things up for who? Maybe they deserve it...

  For everyone. Yes, maybe we deserve it.

    You're probably oblivious to the fact that its already been screwed up for a very long time for a large number of people. Probably a useful thing to spread the pain around a bit as form of education. It's really hard to think of a group of people more out of touch than the denizens of Silicon Valley and their ilk.
