At this stage in the collapse all it takes to be one of the "elites" that the righties hate is to openly say you haven't drunk their kool-aid and haven't fallen for their fake-news bullshit routine. The left is despicable too most of the time but they're just not as rabid.

a select part of a group that is superior to the rest in terms of ability or qualities.

I guess we've got some abilities envy going on among the deplorables. I thought the dogma said that if you've got money you came about it by virtue of your abilities. Thats's what's funny about the righties going on about limosine Liberals. By their light don't these Liberalsdeserve their wealth? Because the system rewards those with superior ablity.

You talk about making the elites afraid, Fiddle, well, let's give it a try.

Force them to do it indoors this year.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I am pretty sure you and me I don't agree on who the elites are though.

So like, you know the Frankfort School socialists no platforming speech they don't want students to hear in Universities. Those guys.

Obviously not an elite.

"Never trust quotations you find on the internet" - Charlotte Corday

My favourite Marx quote "Overthrow Heaven, Dethrone God" was never from Marx, probably just some edgy pinko teenager in the 90's.[/quote]
That's a keeper.

It's basically John Lennon. I don't think he was some racist pedophile,

I'll do some minor hand-holding just because I think everyone should get to see who Thanos was talking about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_Strom



Quote used in this 1993 piece.

I think you want to reread your Wikipedia link and not just trust Google.

If there was something authoritatively showing Strom was the originator of that thought (the Strom quote is only in agreement with it) it`s no longer on the Wikipedia page.

Nobody knows who had that thought first. I think it was Reddit users who found the Strom agreement from 1993 though.

But again, as I have been saying to you from the very beginning when I first told you it`s not actually a Voltaire quote, what matters is only that the statement as it appears as a meme today has power.

And if it doesn`t, why can`t you shut about it?

My original point was I see the elite as centering from power. You see it as centering from capital.

Deciding who first wrote some powerful meme the elite's pods are trained to object to is only a diversion

Considering how many people/groups out there hate the fact that Trump was elected I expect that there will be protests of some kind on Jan 20th.

Hopefully all will be the non-violent types though.

One can hope...
