MODERATORS
The issue is most of us would behave the same way if we were the ones with all the money. Not everyone of course, but a fair number of us.
Rich nutjobs are eccentric
I just call them leeches.
Wait, elite are wealthy? I thought I was a “Coastal Elite Libtard” because I live in a coastal state, am educated, sit at a desk, and earn more than median wage even after adjusting for high cost of living. I worked hard for that college education (many years ago before inflation took it out of reach), now i have to be wealthy too?
Dammit, MAGAts have much simpler criteria and cheaper land, maybe I need to swerve hard right and land in a flyover state
The lucky. The fortunate.
It ain’t me..
It's not the "predator" class - it's the parasite class.
Calling them "predators" will - apart from the fact that it's inaccurate - simply flatter their egos
I don't call them the elite... I will continue to not call them elite if that helps.
Parasite is much more applicable.
The parasites manipulate the predators to handle the suckers they trap with news nooses.
I always thought the elite were the highly educated, not the rich.
Very few highly educated folks are poor, in fact, majority come from money.

I am from a family in the 3rd quartile, nobody ever said I could grow up to be a Doctor. Most told me to 'go to state school and get a shitty office job and be happy with it'. In my college all the kids studying to be med students were driving used BMWs/Mercedes and paying several grand extra a year for parking, new dorms, and the like.
A better example is any flavor of engineer. Usually well educated, earn well over median wage, yet are not wealthy. Are they elite?
Or what about teachers. Very well educated, are building our future, yet don’t get paid nearly enough. Elite? Or non-lite?
depends on how wealthy their parents were.
Maybe it's more of a US issue.
You misspelled narcissist.
Who calls them elite? Only they themselves.
And the media conglomerates they own.
Exactly. They use those to build this lie that they are this grand untouchable class of super beings, but if the OceanGate 2 scandal showed us anything, they are not invincible. They are mortal just like us.
Anime and manga. Classroom of the Elite 🤢
I was just going to say that!
The only time I hear it is in tv shows.
