We've heard an awful lot about "the elites" over the past six months or so. But who are they?

In your view, who are they?

Are you one of "the elite"?

People in position to dictate policy or influence policy through whatever means at their disposal.

What do you want? A list? A profile?

Elites are those whose decisions, legally, have a hugely disproportionate influence on the rest us, through various highly ramified systems, compared with that of the average person. These people interact with each other, towards their own benefit, often without regard to, or in direct opposition to, humanity.

The important thing to understand about elites currently is that they are failing the masses, and themselves, hard. We've seen the neo liberal elites run Hillary Clinton for president. Apparently the fact that she was one of the most disliked people in the country had just nothing to do with the decision to green light her, or to stick to her as her crimes and other failures as a candidate were being exposed at a steady clip. Hillary could not achieve a rigging of the election, only the rigging of the then-prevailing patronage network which, eyes wide open, proceeded to function as it must, with cult-like loyalty, and tie an anchor around its ankle before shoving it overboard.

Hillary was the nominee because elites maneuver through their ranks via loyalty and production, much like the mafia as depicted in movies. Allegiance to the ideals of a particular elitist set and the ability to produce gains through whatever particular graft that set of focused on would seem to be what can make an elite more power and influence, through the graces of the other elites- not any silly democratic nonsense.

The graft of the neo liberals, who have taken hits around the world recently and to which Obama, Clinton, Blair and the board members of Goldman Sachs etc. belong, is packaged in what is termed globalization. They want organizing power of labor destroyed and degrees of freedom for capital maximized. That's what is motivating everything they do- it's all to get you to do work and for them to accrue most of what you produce. So another way to view elites is as unholy parasites on the human species, like that thing from the movie Aliens except the size of Antarctica, hugging the face of humanity.

Hillary Clinton was a popular politician for most of Obama's presidency, regularly polling in the sixties approval rating:

Note that the tail end of the graph, spanning two years, is what happened with increased exposure, just as previous higher exposure led to higher negative reaction. Notice how the unfavorable line spiked during her high profile campaigns, both her bids for the presidency and her attempt to enact major policy as the first lady.

The flaws of Hillary and her high negatives are well studied and established, and the graph you posted supports what is known. Had it not been for the presence of Trump, she would have been the most disliked major-party candidate for president since that metric was tracked- by far.

The reason John Lewis gave Hillary Clinton (a former Goldwater girl) civil rights credit and threw Bernie (an actual civil rights activist) under the bus, the reason he lied like a snake through his teeth to do so, is because he owes her or one of her debtors. That's typical of how elitist networks work, one hand washing the other. If you think about it you might see that that's the only way they can work.

E-Leets? I have heard that they become more afraid the more broken windows appear and also make more overtime or dividends the same. Not sure if that's the same elites or kin.

I would be considered one of the elite.

During the Cameron government several text messages I wrote were read out aloud to a Quad member, not that it made a blind bit of difference to anything he did.

Most people write letters which are ignored by the girls who work in their MP's office, whereas my views have been ignored at the very highest levels of government.

There's good elites and bad elites IMO.

I would define elites as possessing large quantities of 2 or more of the following: money, prestige, influence, and political power.

Bad elites are people who lust to dominate and control their fellow man (think: George Soros)

Good elites are people who want to empower their fellow man. (think: Ron Paul)

Elites play an important role in shaping ideology in society, so one would do well to study and keep an eye on them.

Anti-abortion regressive elites

Elites are the educated, knowledgeable and wise, and typically wealthy who shape policy decision making in a healthy society. When the general populace loses faith in its elites, turning to populist anti-intellectual leaders, it's up to the elites to gain back the trust of the people before too much damage is done.

What's the objection to George Soros?

Apart from his investing stuff the main political stuff I've seen was funding university debate programmes in Eastern Europe in the 90s.

What other stuff does he do?

I've never been able to work out if I am an elite or not. Certainly don't feel like one.
