2. Elitist anti-elitism is a conundrum!

:freak: Well sort of, but I can't be sure. I think, therefore I am, I hope anyway.

One thing I know for sure is that I want to be L337 Leik JeffK

3. I'm sorry, elitism is out of vogue
The "in" thing now is to be one of the common people. Y'all wouldn't understand.

4. It's elitism to dismiss people’s arguments....

without trying to understand them.

So the both are a form of the exact same thing, it's my right to ignore you, it's my privilege to be right.

5. seriously, this is a flaw to banana republican politics
banana republicans love to complain about northeast liberals, or phd.s or academics, or scientists, or people who think they know better than regular folks, etc.

really it's all a form of elitism, by claiming a form of superiority for "regular" people, non-intellectuals, etc. they are NOT claiming equality, they are claiming political superiority.

which is elitism. call it what it is.
