In my experience, a fair amount of “rich kids” in the millenial and gen z age range are pretty disillusioned with the system. They might not have come to their conclusions through struggle and inequality. But got there because of empathy.
I think that it has to do with how they were taught in school and when they were young. They grow up on values of kindness and generosity and then, in young adulthood, realize they have benefitted from other peoples labor. The internet and a trend towards more self-awareness probably contribute.
That certainly isn’t the case for all rich kids. Most of them are oblivious assholes. But I’ve met a few.
I had that impulse but its obviously a less usual thing. Was just thinkint about that stuff that said McKinsey only hires rich kids, and like thinking as a rich kid at that fart factory, “God it sucks to be this shitty”
They can be better than that and I applaud those of them who do so regardless of their past motivations or character.
