I really dislike the term “American Elites”.
What does that even mean?
They can leap tall buildings in a single bound?
They’re rich?
They are considered good looking?
They have a piece of paper from some school?

Here is one definition:
If they can censor you, cancel you, fire you from your job, they are the elites.
If you can censor them, cancel them, fire them from their job, you are one of the elites.
Elite theory is descriptive. It merely means the people who have important positions and are in charge of institutions.
It doesn’t mean they are competent, talented or good at their jobs.
In fact, America’s elites are some of the most decadent, cowardly, decayed and incompetent in the entire world. They just have a huge social, economic, and financial capital stock to squander.
What does that even mean?
It means they are Bigger A....les than foreign ones and Better at being an A....le.
