The “elitist mentality” typically refers to the mindset and behaviors associated with a select group of privileged individuals who perceive themselves as superior in some way—and the United States has a big problem with this pseudo-elitism.

Not all privileged people suffer from the drawbacks associated with an elitist mentality, but here are some:

Elitism can foster arrogance and a sense of superiority. Those with an elite mentality often look down on others and believe that they are inherently better or more deserving.

An elitist mindset can lead to a lack of empathy with humans who do not share the same privileges or status. It can make it challenging to understand or relate to the experiences and challenges of others.

Elitism can perpetuate social divisions and inequalities. It can lead to the concentration of power and resources among a select few while marginalizing or excluding others.

An elite mentality can stifle innovation and progress because it often resists change and new ideas that challenge the status quo.

Humans with an elitist mentality surround themselves with like-minded individuals, leading to groupthink, where dissenting opinions are discouraged, ignored, and even censored.

Individuals with an elite mentality may find it difficult to connect with others who do not share their status or beliefs, leading to social isolation.

Elitism can breed a sense of entitlement, where individuals believe they deserve special treatment or privileges solely because of their status.

A focus on maintaining one’s elite status can lead to a narrow worldview, limiting exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas.

An elitist mentality can lead to negative stereotypes and perceptions of arrogance, insensitivity, and privilege, which can harm one’s personal and professional relationships.

Communists, fascists, totalitarians, and authoritarians have an elitist mentality and think nothing of imposing their will and ideology on those that they rule with an iron fist. The power-hungry political leadership, most of academia, the legacy media, government bureaucrats, and many Democrat judges are guilty of elitist excesses.

Many (if not most) elites don’t believe in God, so they gladly assume the role and tell others what to think, what to believe, and how to behave. The general public is well aware that elitists don’t have their best interests in mind, proceeding with their lives as best as they can; yet this is a tragedy because if you can’t trust the leadership to do things like enact just laws, oppose criminality, and give sound and unbiased medical advice, then who can you trust except yourself?

Elitists in the United States live in their mental and physical ivory towers, unconcerned with the needs and desires of the common man. This can lead to political and social apathy, with the danger of disconnection from most real-world events and community concerns.

Without a dearth of good role models to follow and the free-flow of truth and information, an individual may drift in a sea of chronic ignorance or ideological dysfunction that extends into old age.

On the bright side, if you feel powerless by yourself and maybe a little depressed, then participate in an online community which shares your values or interests, volunteer in your community, monetarily support digital media with which you agree, don’t be afraid to share your beliefs and opinions with humans that will not impact your bottom line and well-being negatively, and vote!

Yet all is not yet lost, and there is still hope for a better future, and an improvement in government if it returns to promoting important traditional core values and ideals which made the American republic great—especially the Constitution with the Bill of Rights and an emphasis on happy heterosexual families, so we don’t have to only import them from other countries around the world.

Let’s work to restore the United States as the land of opportunity for all moral or ethical humans who put forth the effort with determination, smart hard work, and encourage happy role-model heterosexual families so their successes can be passed on to future generations.
