what hatred are you talking about? can you share where you got this from?

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

I’m not sure why people hate them. I guess the other comments kind of explains it, the reality is I don’t hate them. I don’t have an issue with them. If you want to live in a gated community ok fine go live in a gated community. no skin off my nose.

Well, they intentionally remove themselves from the broader community because they think they're better than the "unwashed masses" for one. They also tend to fearmonger about violent crime and generally vote for fascists. They tend to be class traitors in general

In my experience, that's where all the rich, racist dickheads live. They also almost always have an HOA.

Around me is not even "rich" people. It's people in debt up to their eye balls pretending to be rich, keeping up with the Jones' and straight up just being dicks most of the time.

Because they possess some of the most close-minded individuals that you can find. They live boring lives, where all they can think of is advancing their goals and ambitions at the expense of others. They look down at everyone outside of their community. They truly believe that they are the 'best of the best' humanity has to offer just because of how gated and successful that they are. Nevermind that all of their successes were made through exploits and deceit, wheeling and dealing acquisitions, being born wealthy, never having to work an honest day in their life and ironically mooching off the teet of the government via lobbying when it serves them. While turning around calling people parasites for being on welfare.

They're only rich because other people are poor.

Theyre soulless for one, and typically like to imagine themselves as "better" than the surrounding community.

There's a very large gated community right beside my apartment, that's in between me and the lake I live near. If I could walk thru the gated comm, I could reach the lake in ~15min. Instead I have to go around which is more than twice as far with lots of up-hill.

They deliberately reject larger society

Because I hate unnecessary fences. And people who love them are annoying.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

When they're not in the way of anything i don't care, but there is one near me that halfs the distance i can walk or bicycle without going on the highway and that is bullshit

[–] juliebean@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

it's annoying, when you're trying to go on a walk and gotta hop a fence.
