      I think the whole “accusation is a projection” idea ignores the very real possibility that these types of people are really just unaware of their own ignorance and truly believe what they say.

      I think a lot of these people take to spirit the idea that people with money are by default good people because they believe God provides good things to good people.

        I don’t see that as implying intent. I also think that many times it’s just what they have in their heads, what they know. Still holds true stupidly often

          Yeah, unfortunately I live in the south and that kind of mentality is very common. A lot of people just do not have an empathetic worldview, nor process the ability to really evaluate their own beliefs. But yeah, people like that often say some pretty ironic things without a clue.

            I think it comes from repeated conversations or interactions. They develop a common morality to weaponize but don’t understand.
