Steve takes the charge on dipping into Nietzsche’s concept of Ressentiment, which we’ll define simply as “a sense of hostility directed toward an object that is identified as the source of one's frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority complex (possible jealousy) in the face of this source generates a rejecting/justifying value system, which attacks the source. This value system is then used to justify one's own weaknesses.”
