How can we identify those who have deemed themselves ‘Supreme Leaders of Humanity’ Below are traits of those who consider themselves ELITES<\/p>\n

*Superiority rooted in Pride.<\/p>\n

*Disdain for human society- putting themselves first.<\/p>\n

*Unearned and not bestowed or given.<\/p>\n

*Self-appointed and self-aggrandized.<\/p>\n

*Narcissistic Self-worship.<\/p>\n

*Not promoted on merit or prevailing by competing.<\/p>\n

*Strong need to control, rule, and dominate.<\/p>\n

*Ideas and achievements of others are irrelevant because they do originate from elites.<\/p>\n

*Envision themselves as Supreme Leaders of Humanity.<\/p>\n

*Restricting freedom and privileges in a society to a tiny, favored group, with the sense of entitlement due to their perceived superiority.<\/p>\n

*Practice discrimination by awarding themselves privileges at the expense of others.<\/p>\n

*Personal achievement is not essential to elites, it is self-endowed without effort.<\/p>\n

*Generally out of touch with reality by self-insulation and isolationism.<\/p>\n

*All decisions should be made according to the interests or ideas of elites.<\/p>\n

*The hopes and needs of the widest population are innately inferior.<\/p>\n

*Populist, free democracy is the lowest form of government to elitists.<\/p>\n

*Arrogance isn’t smug enough for anyone burdened with being inherently superior.<\/p>\n

*Elites use pseudo-intellectualism and over-complication of problems to protect their position,<\/p>\n

measures which a true intellectual would avoid.<\/p>\n

*Elitism is pyramidal, not polycentric and is a closed circle which is self-organizing and<\/p>\n

self-validating while drawing upon the resources of others.<\/p>\n

*Political elites have for decades held the trust of millions of Americans while simultaneously swindling them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
