I think you're taking it personally... people aren't angry "at you" they're angry "at the system." Yes, MANY people have issues with where and how they direct that anger, but they're not ACTUALLY angry at the individual people. They're angry at class-based society and capitalism.
Hmm I think we're actually more alike on this issue, but seeing different things. I'm not angry at people who are mad at the system, I'm mad at people responding to creators with threats and offensive remarks, saying they didn't deserve the thing.
