The issue is that people generally view their situation not by how much they have, but how much more they have than others.

Some people are that way, but not “people generally.”

I considered putting a “some” in there, but honestly, I feel like it’s sadly the default state, at least in the US. Even fellow politically-left people I meet rarely demand resources for underprivileged people that actually elevate them to their own station. It usually feels like “They deserve more! But still less than me.”
