    STOP CALLING THEM ELITE.

    The word ‘elite’ implies they are societies best. These rich dregs keep dragging us down.

      Whenever I hear the rich described as “the elite”, my brain immediately converted it to ThE eLiTe

        My brain converts it to lowers. Their only advantage is their ability to screw people over without it affecting their personal health. Whereas the rest of us would lose sleep being that much a evil shithead.

        How about we just airquote them? The „Elite“ sounds condescending enough imo

          Yeah trying to find the perfect words is counterproductive. We just need to eat the rich. We’re not literally eating them but everybody knows what that means.

      True, if you look at people taking power and control in MAGA America, many are there because of their white skin and not resume or skill

      Edit sorry if this comes across as racist, the intent is more to highlight how some of these people bring nothing else to the table

      Elite in this case refers to the ability to exert power and privledge. Everyone who is in a society does so to some level. (Obviously much less)

      It is not a term of adoration.
