I get how frustrating and unjust it can feel, though, not being able to make them “see” what they’ve done to you/others.

Thanks for the response. I’ve spoken to my therapist who didn’t really see any issue with these thoughts since I wouldn’t act on them. She basically said it’s likely due to feeling a lack of control in a situation especially considering I often feel the about people who have power over me.

I agree that these types of people like to see others hurt by their actions and I think that’s what escalates my thoughts because the more upset I present it seems the more aggressive and rude they treat me.
