You're right, the snark was unnecessary, but to be 100% honest no I don't feel that bad that the people that have been willfully participating in and profiting off a system that only works by screwing other people over may lose some money when the people getting screwed over have had enough and try to change things.
Just by living in the US and participating in our modern society here I am myself in a similar situation, and I'm not exactly a political activist dedicating my life to changing the status quo, but if and when the people we're exploiting to fund our current lifestyle start fighting for a better life I'm not gonna be telling them that they need to stop and think about the effect their demands would have on our lives.
