I think we focus on wealth inequality lately because we're all on the same page about income inequality, and also because a common argument against income inequality is that "but their income isn't that huge, they just have investments." Wealth inequality deals with that ackchyuallity.
You think everyone is on the same page about that? People hate on billionaires all the time, but seem to be way more nuanced about someone who just makes a lot from their actual job. (And mostly ignore or avoid people who make way less)
Are you talking about people in r/CanadaPost hating on posties for making more than minimum wage? π₯Ή
A actually haven't been back to Reddit, but that sounds about right.
A good chunk of NIMBYism falls under there too. Middle-class Karen doesn't want cheap apartments or a homeless shelter anywhere near her, but has no better suggestions. If she wins and you're one of the people who needs that, it leaves you in a weird Kafkaesque limbo where you're told you have rights, but you're not really allowed to exist.
Makes sense and form that perspective you're absolutely right. I wish people understood it's better for them when someone else in the working class is paid more. But for that to be commonplace, the idea that people aren't necessarily paid what they deserve has to take hold.
