So many of today's problems are rooted hatred of the good for being good. Everyone wants to be prosperous, but many find it difficult to achieve so instead they decide they hate the rich. There seems to be a deep hatred for personal responsibility among many people.

True that.

It’s fear. Many were too protected. Got soft. Live in fear. And thus seek protection. They don’t hate responsibility. They fear the responsibility and vulnerability that comes with freedom and self sovereignty because they don’t possess the strength, albeit mostly mental, to ensure their likely success in freedom. Fear causes them to seek protection and give up freedom. Funny flip side, fear leads to crime and criminal behavior. The inability to guarantee success in an uncertain world where your integrity and hard work build success in a process where often faith in the outcome is required while investing your time and effort. The criminal can’t handle that and seeks instead the shortcut, even though it harms others. The criminal and the socialist are born of the same social primordial goo. Faithless fear. What makes that goo? The lack of sound money can make it through the resulting lack of opportunity and community.
Fiat did it. Bitcoin fixes that. Am I wrong? Let’s find out. Worth a try.
It is easier to destroy then to create.
Easier to bring people down to your level then rise to there's.
I think Nietzsche's ressentiment is a more enlightening explanation of the same problem
AI summary:
"Ressentiment, a concept central to Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy, is a complex psychological and moral condition characterized by a reactive, resentful attitude stemming from a perceived sense of powerlessness and inferiority.
Nietzsche developed the concept systematically in his work The Genealogy of Morals, where he identifies ressentiment as the foundational force behind what he terms "slave morality".
This form of morality arises when the weak, unable to directly retaliate against the powerful, channel their frustration into a moral framework that inverts the values of the strong.
Rather than affirming their own strengths, the weak define themselves in opposition to the powerful, labeling the latter as "evil" while elevating their own perceived virtues of humility, obedience, and self-denial."
