When we were all living in the jungle, before we built cities, some people began to notice that there were people amongst them who were doing a lot better than most. They had better food, women, clothes, etc.-and that made some people envious and hateful. How could you have a steak to eat, when I have nothing? How could everyone praise you, but ignore me? Such a dark emotion to feel at the sight of someone's achievement! Instead of channeling their ambition into productive or creative endeavors, envious individuals direct their energy towards destructive desires, wishing to diminish others rather than elevate themselves.
This desire to tear down successful and accomplished people comes from a profound sense of self-loathing. Look at what they're saying about Elon Musk, the billionaire who now finds himself as an advisor to the President. Most of the criticism is baseless and distorted, but one specific charge—that he could distribute his wealth to aid the entire world yet chooses not to, thereby demonstrating his greed and venality—stands out. Why? What is morally wrong with wanting to keep the money you earn? Why do people believe that achieving extraordinary success makes someone inherently evil? Because such people believe that the good is what is good for society, the community, or any collective. "No man is an island", they say, thus absolving them from personal responsibility. It's as if they are saying: "love me, because I'm ordinary, average, and have accomplished nothing".
And so we have the Democratic Party, who represents the hateful, envious and undifferentiated amongst us.
