So I think it’s worth exploring the differing notions of who constitutes the elite.
There are certainly elitists in this world in the sense that some people wield tremendous influence, resources, wealth and power that have the ability to manufacture outcomes that might not have come to fruition without a little push from them. The problem though, as you shared, is that there is a sense of ambiguity when it comes to deciding who said elites are.
Whenever somebody brings up "The Elites" or "The Globalists" or whatever other buzzword to denote some outsider with a vision contrary to your own, to me it is akin to "They/Them." "They" are so often nameless people who embody whatever the antithesis or inverse of your own belief system or set of values. And of course, in true dramatic fashion, everything they do is underhanded, nefarious, and pernicious.
"They" are a convenient scapegoat to explain away all our social ills, whether real, imagined, or exaggerated.
