The elite vs. everyone else

The "Elites" are a very specific group of people. They are the rich and powerful people who are able to influence what the narrative is. These are people like Bill Gates, Larry Fink, Al Gore, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. These are the people who fund the WEF and are able to decide how the goals are implemented and what policies are needed.
Sure, but every group refers to “elites” and they imply different things. I listen to pods across the political spectrum and so many of them refer to the “elites” with no further description of who they’re talking about. I get the concept, it’s just that the term is used as a lazy crutch to mean “whatever rich people I want you to think are actively trying to screw you over”.
 
This is the real reason people vote for Trump.

Warning to the lefties, if you watch this right wing host, you might spontaneously combust.



Are you serious? You are making a comparison with Dems and Trump and you think the Dems are the elitists and not the guy who literally sits on a golden toliet? Hmm. Odd take. Sounds like some BS Trump tells his worshippers.
 
Trump isn’t taking on the Davis crowd because he disagrees with them. He hates them because they won’t take him.
This is not true.
Trump has attended the WEF and has spoken. Here is a transcript of one. What he said sounds very similar to what he says today. Notice he was very pro American, pro freedom a he didn't mention any of the objectives of the sustainable development goals. (Obviously this does not fit with the agenda of the WEF).

"Today, I urge other nations to follow our example and liberate your citizens from the crushing weight of bureaucracy. With that, you have to run your own countries the way you want."

"we ended the NAFTA disaster — one of the worst trade deals ever made; not even close — and replaced it with the incredible new trade deal, the USMCA — that’s Mexico and Canada"

"We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty. America will always be the proud, strong, and unyielding bastion of freedom."

I meant they don’t like him, they don’t believe he is as good as them and they don’t accept him. Just like the New York elite hated him

Elites is also a definition simply referring to the top 1%ish of people. Some of these people like Bill Gates fit into the financial elite and also into the global influence elite who are part of the WEF.

Look at this board. Very few people even know what the World Economic Forum is and how it impacts us in the USA. It is very unlikely the would refer to "elites" correctly when they don't really understand what it is.

I bet maybe 10% of people know what the WEF is, and even less than that could tell you how their actions impact us in the USA.

Well, you seem to be the expert. Seems like the perfect opportunity to educate everyone.

He actively opposes everything the World Economic Forum stands for and is the current leader of the Republican Party in the USA. He is one of the very few people who could come in the way to the elites pulling their plan off.

I think its an understatement to say they don't like him.

Ya know you are on an agenda when you force Gore's name in with Gates, Fink, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc

You also must be a commie that hates it when kids raised middle class like Gates, Fink, Zuckerberg, Bezos rise above their station and then have the audacity to try do good things with the billions they earned.

I don’t believe they think he can stop them.

The elites love Biden and for good reason. He's made them a lot of money over the course of the last few years. Another group that has an unnaturally high approval rating of Biden? All the illegals (1/4 million every month) crossing the border. What do they both have in common? Neither group puts America first.

Neither do losers who try an steal elections. Loser

They are worried because they know people are becoming more aware of what they are doing. Did you see Kevin Roberts at the WEF this year?

The theme of the WEF meeting this year was "Rebuilding Trust". You don't name it that unless you feel threatened. The link below talks about less A list people attending the meetings.

 
You will be a loser every day because you are a loser, and likely fat as well.
Haha that's awesome! Keep up with your logical fallacy ad hominem debate style. It's very telling!

Lets pretend it was true that Biden was intentionally allowing in illegals because that is part of the WEF/elites global agenda? Would that be concerning to you? This is a concept that has been discussed and is written in their agendas.

The fall and rise of global borders​

"The world is becoming more global. More than ever people are proactively deciding where to live, where to study, where to work. Sometimes it’s out of necessity, sometimes it’s out of choice. But the opening up of the world thanks to technology and other factors like simpler regulation means we don’t need to stay within the borders of the country in which we were born. It’s even possible to be an e-Resident of a country.
Being a ‘global citizen’ is no longer reserved for the global elite. Thanks to the democratising power of technology, it’s not a trend determined by privilege or even age but by attitude. Technology gives us a level of global interconnectedness that we’ve never before experienced. If we couple that physical/virtual interconnectedness with an attitude of openness, then the world becomes both limitless and a lot smaller.
However, this macro-trend seems to be experiencing a few setbacks at the moment. There is increased rhetoric in parts of the world about the need for borders and walls. The voices in favour of borders that are heard at the moment come from a position of fear, perhaps of change or the unknown. In some cases these voices highlight some of the challenges in a society that’s changing at speed; those voices need to be heard, and solutions found.
 Globalisation is increasing - but are countries retreating behind their borders, too?

In other cases, these voices come from a fear that the balance of power will change. Well, maybe it needs to. Because once you start building borders, the world retreats into different cells closed off from each other and competing out of insecurity and limitation. It closes down potential and opportunity.
Look at the financial sector. In theory, it should operate well on a global level - it is after all a global system, for example because of its role in facilitating international trade. And there is no reason for money not to move as easily as sending an email.
In reality, it’s quite the opposite. The financial system functions very much within national borders. Some of those constraints started for the right reasons, such as to avoid criminal use of the system; many did not. More often than not the constraints are there out of self-interest or laziness and now function as a way to protect the status quo.

Is Freedom of movement a human right?
"We tend to think of the right to free movement within a state as an essential freedom. If the government banned you from visiting and settling in certain parts of the country you would rightly feel outraged. The government would be denying you the choice of where to live and study, who you can form relationships with, who you can associate with on a religious or political basis, and it would be denying you a range of important economic opportunities. These are fundamental choices that affect how our lives are lived.
But notice that these very same considerations also apply to freedom of movement across borders. In today’s globalised world, restricting your right to move across borders is not so very different from confining you to the boundaries of Yorkshire, say, or Seattle."

You are trolling. You don't fool me

Cross my heart, swear to die. I am not trolling you.

I have provided a significant amount of links to the WEF, White house, WHO, UN during our discussions, I promise I'm not trying to fool anyone.

1% athletically
1% academically
1% intellegence
1% wealth
1% influence
1% talent
1% ingenuity
1% etc

Sure “the elite”.

Republicans voted against infrastructure. Voted against women's bodies. Voted against education. And tried to overthrow our democracy when the people voted against them. You guys don't put America first. You put yourselves first.

You left the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch off your list, who have spent more to influence public opinion and policy in this country than anyone else over the past 30 years. 2/10
 
I agree with this, I also know he presents himself as anti establishment. He has the money to ngaf what the big donors want him to do.

I agree he is an odd person for the right to rally around, but he is willing to go toe to to with the davos elite.
He lives on credit. Even admitted in depositions. Trump loves him some bribes and donor money for others to pay for his lifestyle.

I listed 5 people who everyone would know. I assumed people would realize it was not meant to be an all inclusive list.

I will add that the elites does not specifically mean democrats, there are plenty of Republicans as well.
 
The party of trickle down caters to the elites with the hope that money trickles down from them to the working-class people.

I find it fascinating how some people picture "the elites" in this country. The MAGA types seem to envision a bunch of liberal, intellectual, hollywood types controlling everything. The reality is that the "elites" are billionaires like Musk, Bezos, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffet, Koch Brothers etc...

One party focuses on directly helping the elites and the other party focuses on helping people in the lower class while trying to ensure that the elites pay their taxes like the rest of us. Two distinctly different philosophies. The one that helps the elites directly (led by a Billionaire CEO) is the one that gets the votes from the rural working class people. Go figure.

It's okay. Coincidences happen. Probably just another coincidence that you're spewing the very type of crap that they propagate. I'm sure that the nonelites will be better off if the elites are allowed to externalize even more of their costs and hoard even more wealth. It makes sense if you don't think about it.
 
So, people with high levels of income and education think differently than other people? Shocking news. Shocking.

Now "elites" are the bad people. evil even. They are the enemy. They don't care about anyone but themselves.

Nonsense.
