Elitism: Liberalism's biggest problem
This article reveals more then the author intended, methinks.

Talk of "fair trade" coffee, feeling self conscious saluting the flag, serving..
The thing is, if you need to write an article about this, you're just proving the right, right. They say this all the time, the left denies it, and this joker confirms it.
Yes, they really ARE that sheltered from the real world.
Great example of elitism right here:

Some major hypocrisy coming from feminist cultists now. Actually this happened a few weeks ago. Prominent feminist professor at NYU has a title IX probe into her thanks to claims from a student. A bunch of feminists decried it as a witch hunt(yes, without the slightest hint of self awareness). They sound elitist as f*ck as well.[b]"We testify to the grace, the keen wit... of Prof. Ronell & ask she be accorded the dignity rightly deserved by someone of her international standing.”
Lol. They aren't even actually demanding due process...they are just demanding this gets squashed. I thought we were supposed to believe victims...and not blame them? Weird.

"We testify to the grace, the keen wit... of Prof. Ronell & ask she be accorded the dignity rightly deserved by someone of her international standing.”
They don't even want due process. And they are citing academic achievements like they have ANYTHING to do with any kind of sexual assault or harassment.

Conservatives complaining about "elites," yet voted for one for president. Delicious.
1. I didn't vote for Trump, and am a registered Democrat.
2. The person complaining in this article is self discribed "liberal elite".
My issue with this, is for a so called "elite" to complain about things like insular partisanship, a cult like mentality of shunning anything and anyone with a hint of opposition, a lifestyle that only the well off or wealthy can afford, a "smug" attiude against anything remotely christian (Yet tolerant of other religions)
He's complaining of things the left deny is a problem, if the right talks about it.
That proves they care more about pr, then about inclusiveness.. Deny as they might, they aren't exactly any more representative of joe average's" like you or I, then the elite rights are (Like Trump)

We can't talk about or criticize the left. Cuz reasons. For some reason it's never okay for someone who voted for Trump to deflect, but it is always okay for a leftist to deflect to Trump.
Now we just sit back and enjoy how they spin this observation.
Ahh Even Cartoons know better then Leftists Elites.

Surtur: "But what bout the Leftist!!!1!"Equalization tactics and whataboutism deflections. Well, it is Friday.
Let me give my own spin on this:
Liberalism used to be about class equity. Now, it is about tribal warfare.
They are NOT attacking the elites. They are NOT putting forward a "rich vs poor" narrative. They are strictly about attacking the right, and dangling a carrot of "equity" to rally around, in the sense that they pretend to promote a certain percentage of every identity group to join the ranks of the affluent.
Liberals used to support the underclass revolting against the upper class. Real Arab Spring stuff.
No longer.. A lot will say "Good", but that sure isn't what the left is supposed to be.. They're not anti establishment, they ARE the establishment.
