What We Believe - The Problem With Elitism



Another way that makes sense to me to think about this one is that whole two-sets-of-rules thing. When there's one set of rules for certain people and another set of rules for most everyone else, you have elitism. Global warming is a beautiful example of this, where rich Hollywood types can have their multiple gigantic mansions, private planes, and frivolous lifestyle, but they simultaneously chastise you and me for driving an SUV to work because its massive carbon footprint is going to destroy the planet. Two sets of rules. Elitism.
