Yes they do hate the commoners, and the commoners now hate each other. I was in a big box store today, where I rarely go, and the place was very dense and black with, disgust, I suppose. Devoid of any joy or mirth in spite of the obscene abundance stacked floor to ceiling in the sprawling building.
The commoner simply isn't needed anymore. Not much anyway. It felt like an office just prior to looming layoffs that everyone knows is imminent.
