If most people generally want to avoid low-paid jobs, unemployment, or financial struggle, why is open contempt towards people in those situations often seen as socially unacceptable?

[YourWaryPlumBalonz]

For example, if someone is unemployed because they failed all their exams or made poor life choices, why is it considered wrong to laugh at them or look down on them?
I'm not talking about people who are disabled, seriously ill, or caring for relatives. I mean cases where people would argue the person had opportunities but didn't take them.
Is it because:
We don't actually know the full story behind someone's circumstances?
People think poverty or unemployment is punishment enough without adding humiliation?
Most people believe everyone's life can go wrong more easily than they realise?
Or is it simply considered bad manners to show contempt, even if you think the situation is partly self-inflicted?
Interested in how others see it.

Why is it considered wrong to laugh at people? Was this post written by a robot trying to understand humans?

Have you been drinking? You seem to have lost your thin veneer of humanity.

I don't think contempt towards people in those circumstances is acceptable.

No one laughs but people need to own their mistakes and other people shouldn't need to subsidise them.

Being in low paid work is not a mistake. We need people in the low paid jobs.

Why have you started two very similar threads?

Because being a dickhead is generally frowned upon.

Because it saps your soul and just makes you cunty

Because it is cruel
