  Aggrandises. Engrandise isn’t a word.

  And calling them elites is fine. For them it massages their collective ego for us it is a mocking statement.

    Sarcastic and ironic comments are fine until they’re not.

    Most people don’t pick up on sarcasm about “elite”, though, and only stupid people insist on communicating with things easily misunderstood.

    Poe’s Law offers more wisdom than most people realize.

      You see the problem here though right? You’re assuming limited capacity in others to acknowledge the world as itb really is and yet you can’t even acknowledge that you used a made up word to convey an idea.

      What makes you think you’re smarter than the average person?

        All words are made up. What makes you think pointing out something related to the language I use could possibly ever dismiss the logical point I made about how that language is interpreted?

        YOU are the one using a word to mean something that most people do not think of when they hear that word. You are the one failing to understand the concept of communication.
