@davidnjoku it’s even worse. There is a deep belief among many that if people make what they are worth (a core belief in the simplistic models of economics) and that people get what they deserve (prosperity bible idiocy) fhen if you are rich you deserve it and it means you are morally superior.
And likewise that if you are poorly paid and poor not only does it reflect your value it’s because you are somehow immoral.
(To be clear I strongly disagree with everything about this bonkers view)
@zzypt@davidnjoku indeed. It is also why they attack education on structural racism and systemic causes of poverty. And oppose stuff like minimum wages or unions - because they deeply feel that there is a connection between material success and moral worth. If that is questioned and indeed utterly rejected they see that as a personal attack on their self identity and how the view and judge others.
(I’m not a Christian but the prosperity bible stuff is a radical departure from historic beliefs
