The elite are just like the rest of us, just in a bigger way. What, from the standpoint of human nature, is the argument against them?
Quoting: IfYouInsist They are not like us and probably are not even human or at least are controlled by something not human. They do all the evils that people do. Neither feels compelled to explain themselves. No one feels guilty about what they do as long as they have a why, and no one feels compelled to tell others what that why is. After all the excuses and deliberately conflicting justifications for cruelty, I just don't see evil or sin in the world, only varying amounts of inconvenience for different parties. So you believe like Augustine that evil is only privation or an absence of good? I used to believe that but no longer. Evil is a countervailing force against Good. No other explanation seems possible based on empiricism. People have an excuse for every evil, even moreso in groups. The weight of types of people who specialize in various evils grows until society can no longer support the burden, and people die. I used to believe it was possible to stop the disaster without doing evil, and now no longer do. And it's not because it isn't possible but because the people you desire to save don't want it. Neither do you. It's depressing and I'm low-key sorry I got out of bed.
