Put another way

 Much of the enjoyment of being a connected member of the global elite is being in on the jokes the rest of the world does not know are being played on them.

It is no doubt a weak pleasure, suitable for those with advanced cases of ennui, moral dissipation and a pathological need for attention within a self referential circle.  Ghislaine Maxwell would be an obvious example.

There exist in this world people capable of laughing at mass hunger, or at a minimum, of not caring about it in the least.  There exist people capable of starting wars for profit.  There exist people capable of robbing the poor simply because they can.

Clear sight is a vinegar of sorts.  But like vinegar, it is a tonic of sorts too, and a stark relief from saccharine bromides.
