What this comes down to and what is ultimately the better question, why are so many people unable to sympathizes with others?

Either they think they’re better than everyone else, or they hate themselves and project ?

They're just brainwashed by puritanical, capitalist "work ethic". A lot of people who have nothing and work their way up by engaging with systems that steal their labor, in turn see those systems as good because they're ahead of where they were before, without understanding that those systems intentionally create situations of poverty in order to drive disadvantageous labor participation.
