What is so disgusting is that most of these people are not ‘elite’ in any sense at all. They are often considered ‘bright’ enough to get into ‘top’ universities but often the play is subtly rigged in their favor; they are not objectively more competent or effective than, say, an engineering student at the U of Nebraska.

Then out into the world where, again, the play is subtly rigged again and eventually to a position of ‘importance’ where they have a car and driver, fly first class, and are constantly sucked up to by rent-seekers, ‘journalists’, lobbyists, and—especially here—the parents of children who hope to follow in their footsteps.

Before very long, given what they’ve always been told by others like them, they begin to see themselves as a sort of Master Race, with a sort of noblesse oblige/white man’s burden to do what they damn well please, knowing that the fix will still be in no matter what. #1 above says it all: they can do what we can’t get away with, which only confirms their worldview over and over.
