Elitism: the advocacy or existence of an elite as a dominating element in a system or society.

Hmm.

I can look up definitions too: A person who believes that they are superior to others (and thus deserve favored status) because of their intellect, social status, wealth, or other factors. Hmmm

Your first response indicates that you believe occasionally passing judgment on others is elitism and that, essentially, everyone is an elitist. I, and the dictionary, disagree with your definition.

What you seem to be describing is occasional snobbery. By defining elitism in this fashion, you minimize what it means to be elitist. The word elitist should have a stronger negative connotation. Words like elitist lose impact when you try to expand their meaning to include everyone.

You sound like an elitist

I’m sure you would have responded with that retort no matter what I said. Seems that’s elitist.... based on your very loose definition of the word anyway.

Exactly

😂

And beer

Hahaha! Booze makes it easy for everyone. Assuming they’re not a recovering alcoholic.

Pfft you don’t even have a somovar do you?

No but I know what they are (unlike most Americans)

What kind of tea do you like, cc?

Me too!

CC and I both prefer loose tea, steeped in extremely hot but not boiling water.

I like traditional flavors, not fruity or spiced. Black, white, oolong, jasmine green.

Jasmine is my favorite, but I like the citrus flavors even though they are not traditional.

I don’t like citrus in general, not orange in breads or muffins for example. I tried cherry green tea meh. Black tea is my favorite although not Smokey ones.

Would love to share a cup with you someday.

I like a long island iced tea

That's an acceptable perversion of taking tea.

How was the concert Blue?

It was really good. She is fun

What.
We're talking tea here!
What concert did I miss.

Kelly Clarkson

Who was the opening act?

Brynn c. Something. She was good. Thought she was early 20s to find out she is 15. And then kelsie ballerine

Oh Kelsie. What fun.

I didnt think she sounded great. Too much disparity from album to live sound

I hate that!

So they can grow up and be mocked for being elite.

I went to a school like that from preschool to 8th grade. Besides a few whackos, we all turned out fine. We have friends, relationships, etc. No issues and I loved it there.
