most of us are rich kids who did "all the right things" and feel like we belong to the elite in some way. problem is, there is way too many people like us and not enough truly elite spots. An xo is a swath of people doing relatively well in this state of affairs. The ivy liberal arts degree students find the only elite they can belong to is a "moral elite" requiring increasingly radical self-abnegation and willingness to "do whatever it takes" to progress the right causes

Peter Turchin below

"Intense intra-elite competition leads to the rise of rival power networks, which increasingly subvert the rules of political engagement to get ahead of the opposition. Instead of competing on their own merits, or the merits of their political platforms, candidates increasingly rely on “dirty tricks” such as character assassination (and, in historical cases, literal assassination). As a result, excessive competition results in the unraveling of prosocial, cooperative norms (this is a general phenomenon that is not limited to political life). Elite overproduction in the US has already driven up the intensity of intra-elite competition. Another clear sign is the unraveling of social norms regulating political discourse and process that has become glaringly obvious during the 2016 presidential election. Analysis of past societies indicates that, if intra-elite competition is allowed to escalate, it will increasingly take more violent forms. A typical outcome of this process is a massive outbreak of political violence, often ending in a state collapse, a revolution, or a civil war (or all of the above)."

Waterford crystal hasn't been made in Ireland for a decade, it's offshored because of "globalism" ty elites :))))

Credited analysis - see the French Revolution, with bourgeois elites looking to wipe out aristocratic competitors and take those top Bigfed and Bigarmy positions

now it is the ascendant POC majority and their white handlers trying to eradicate heritage Americans from positions of influence and power

Imagine sitting in a tavern with Hamilton, John Marshall, and John Jay on one end of the bar and Jefferson, Madison, and John Calhoun at the other end. Only one side wins. Who’s side is right and who’s is wrong?

spot on analysis of the current state of the US, with 103 IQ blue checkmarks trying to counter-signal each other back and forth on twitter because they think they are members of the "elite" because they have a job in "journalism"

but i don't think that anyone on XO *really* wants to be in the elite. except maybe JJC. people here just want to live comfortable, dignified lives, not expend all their energy in the pursuit of domination of others
