>However, I apologize if my post seemed unduly attacking you for what is a
linguistic misunderstanding, as it is not my intent to defend the impune
false elites. These are a faux aristocracy manufactured by our time, a
product of class and not caste. And that's about the meanest thing anyone
could say about them.<

That's not the meanest thing someone could say. This is meaner:

"...Go ahead, capitalize the T on technology, deify it if it'll  make you
feel less responsible--but it puts you in with the neutered, brother, in
with the eunics keeping the harem of our stolen Earth for the numb ands
joyless hardons of human sultans, human elite with no right at all to be
where they are--" GR 607
