For one thing, can we please stop calling these mind-melded toadies "elites"?
Elite implies special and superior and oh how they love that name. They believe that it is accurate and well-deserved because, after all, that BA in Lesbian Dance Theory means that, even though the only job they could get was at Starbucks, they are "educated" and therefore so much superior to the high-school-educated plumbing contractor with 6 offices and 57 employees whose grande Cafe Americano they make every morning.
These so-called "elites" believe that they deserve to and indeed must be in positions of power and control over the great unwashed rabble, lest they get all uppity and start wanting to make their own decisions on which car to drive or what light bulb to use. These people aren't "elite". What they are is privileged and that's what they should be called.
I personally also use the word “elite” because they have outsized influence on public policy, not because they are superior, as you correctly point out.
This doesn’t have remotely the amount of likes and comments it deserves…
Is there way to just go about life and act as if these types of perpetrators don’t exist? At least skipping the part of having to talk face to face that is.
I understand that some instances, like how they turn a blind eye to the father’s cries towards what happened to his daughter in their school, are impossible to not bring up directly… but for the most part to try handle everything as if those school board members aren’t even there.
Maybe it would go far if parents start gathering together themselves and discussing issues, properly explaining and educating their children what’s what, and acknowledging the existence of ‘wokeism’ and what the latest attempts at victimhood are about but mostly for information.
Don’t even say hi nor good morning to a teacher of that caliber ever.
Imagine if all flaming comments on the SnapTikTakoGrams with clear unfair and out of reason remarks wouldn’t get any ounce of acknowledgement, not even a single counter argument or reaction.
