If one monkey has access to, say, 400 million bananas, I'm thinking he can afford to give the finger to all those impoverished, occupant, monkeys...after all, 20 million bananas buys a helluva lot of gorillas, each more than capable of dealing with anything the occupants monkeys can foist up.
Yes, Virginia: it really does come down to 'might makes the right'.
As I say up-thread, 'how they (the banana-having monkeys) got the bananas (legally, illegally; morally, immorally) is irrelevant.'
Why irrelevant?
'Cause 'morality' and 'just' are fictions.
In the same way: the envy of the banana-less monkeys is morally neutral (amoral).
I don't decry the occupants for envy, only for their *dishonesty.
They dress up 'envy' in pretty clothes and call it 'right' and 'moral'.
Just pony up with the truth, for a change, that being, 'we want your bananas!'
*Also irrelevant...I'm just sayin'...
