When they have to embrace their reality, they don't know how to live and essentially freeze or seisure, when embraced with a reality worse than theirs. He also admires native Americans, despite the NA being killed and surpassed by the parasites who came to their land and killed them. The reality and context that the lower parasites live is a just a cool and enjoyable thing for the rich.
This makes the parks hypocritical, as they fantasie living like those in the lower class, but not willing to engage or embrace the reality of being lower, as shown by the weird scene in which they fetishise dirty things. So in reality, everybody wants to be each other, but are not willing to engage in the consequences that come from existing on each level. The housekeeper would rather be on the Kim's level, without the reality of having her husband bring up himself. The Kim's want to be the parks, without the effort of making success or even accepting they can never live that life because it's unfair. The parks want to be the the housekeeper, without embracing the dirt, struggle or pain that comes with having that existence.
