Study confirms it's normal to laugh at rich people's misfortunes

What does Mother Nature say about the gutter cult of worshiping random rich guys? Nothing positive.

A new study published in the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience journal says it's only natural to feel less empathy for people who have a higher status in life. Researchers asked 22 people to undergo a sensory test to see how they'd react to the idea of people of various social statuses appearing to be poked with needles. The results were not favorable to the elite.

This study backs up past research that also showed people are less empathic to those of a higher status.

The Far Right cries that we want to "punish success", but - in a society like ours that is not a meritocracy - it's only natural. Those among the Far Right who want to make us revere people just for having more money are fighting nature.
