They believe they are the most compassionate empathic people in the world because they cry at Broadway musicals, but actual people are not really people to them if they're poor or otherwise undesirable.
I orgamsed at Hamilton man singing.

Alexander "All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and the well-born; the other the mass of the people... turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the Government... Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy." Hamilton.
I'll be honest, Les Miserables absolutely killed me. Fucking weeping. Played me like a fucking fiddle. That even happened with I Am Sam. Stuff makes me cry. That's the kind of man I am. But I will face God and walk backward into Hell before I ever even consider shedding one mole of tears over fucking Hamilton.

Don't ever watch Miss Saigon. Amazing the creators of Les Mis which almost has a radical politics went to imperial apologia.
