Two recent news stories, seemingly unrelated, point to a question we must increasingly ask: How many institutions are controlled by the people they’re supposed to serve?
The first is that Republican state attorneys general are going after investment fund BlackRock for misbehavior. Instead of managing money from state pension funds and other investors to earn the greatest return, BlackRock, they say, is investing to advance its management’s social and political goals. Under the rubric of environmental, social and governance (or ESG) policies, the fund managers are rating companies not on money-making criteria but on, well, environmental and social ones.
The money belongs to someone else, but the control of the money effectively belongs to them.
Another, ostensibly unconnected, story involves the Democratic Party. A left-wing pollster, the Democrat-aligned Winning Jobs Narrative Project, surveyed 60,000 voters to find out what mattered to them. It discovered that the Democrats’ standard policies and talking points aren’t that popular with voters. Turning corporations into villains and hammering away on social issues like abortion don’t appeal to Americans. Instead, such conservative-sounding approaches as “respect for work” and putting government in “a supporting rather than primary role” polled best.

Social justice and equity is taught as religion in many colleges and universities. That’s why all the grads are like that. They go on to control other institutions.

Seems like communism, hedonism, and paradoxically, social justice are the main themes in secular college life.
Although in the strict sense of the word “elite” being “selected” is accurate, the common usage implies superiority by merit.
These are only perverse people (in spirit, many/most in other ways too) who have selected themselves and each other to form a neo-nobility in opposition to the letter and the intent of the governments they’ve infested.
A more correct term would be “usurpers” as in “Woke usurpers control the institutions they’re meant to serve.”
