I dunno man. I guess it would bother me if 1+1=3. It ain’t though. I think a better example is something like e.g. your parents give your sibling far better gifts than you, since you can’t really escape that dynamic as a child. As an adult it’s like, alright, so my workplace is crap, let me use one of the 40+ years of my adult life to find another one. I am British, someone working at Facebook in the US earns double or triple what I used to as a software dev for roughly the same work. Does it bother me? I guess? But my first thought isn’t to be upset or something, it’s more like “do I want to live in the US, if so, google immigration lawyers then”, if not, accept and move on.

Uhh right, we don't do the things I described because they violate people's feeling of equality. Ah, you're British. I see. Well good to know you're not bothered by inequality living in one of the most equal societies in world history. As mentioned below: not caring about specific instances of inequality is not the same as not caring about inequality. I also don't care about the fact some people have private jets or fancy cars. That's not really what people are talking about, though obviously they're symbolic of the bigger picture.
