The rich don't care about the poor.
They don't see the poor as human enough to hate.
They live in separate bubbles, go to different schools, live in guard gated places, vacation at places only they can afford. By design, the wealthy are segregated from us, and are taught not to empathize with their livestock.
That's all anyone outside their class are to them, livestock. Management livestock, laborer livestock, homeless (capitalist scarecrows) livestock. Just levels of livestock.
Honestly I think the sociopathy of market capitalism makes it worse, yes worse, than crimes of hatred.
At least someone who hurts or kills you for who you are cares enough about your existence enough to want to hurt you and revel in your pain.
A wealthy capitalist will feed a thousand children lead or deny a thousand claims for necessary surgeries(topical!), and pay the fine if there's one at all without so much as a glance at your name. A nameless speed bump on the road to GLORIOUS PROFIT!
It's just business after all ๐ค
The banality of evil certainly wasn't invented by Nazis and it definitely didn't end with them
