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."
