ill break it down. its a combo of cognitive dissonance and justification of that dissonance

belief: I think all rich people are bad evil people who do not care about anyone else and clearly these rich people believe others are only there to be exploited. Also, I personally am a very moral person.

real life: bezos is a rich person. bezos donated lots of money

cognitive dissonance kicks in: how can I believe that all rich people are bad evil people who do not care about others, while at the same time handling the fact that bezos donated more money than ill ever make in my life to do good, thus doing more good than myself, even though I am a moral person according to the belief above.

justification: bezos is still evil because he did not donate enough percentage of his money. this is the true gauge of morality. if only i had more money i would be donating way more of a percentage because I am very moral.
