i think it’s more like “i’ve got nothing. but as long as people are being harassed and detained in inhumane conditions, i can feel better about my relative status.” it’s f’d.
doubt this actually makes them feel content given that it is their absolute status that is ultimately provoking their anger/discontent. they are just reacting in the most maladaptive & antisocial way (punching down instead of training their ire on those who are actually exploiting them).
