No... you're confusing "elitist" (use as an adjective) with "elite" (used as a noun).
Someone who believes in elitism is not necessarily of the elite class.
Example - an elitist has a "holier-than-thou" attitude... not necessarily blue-blood.
An elitist would disparage the actions and choices of another simply because it don't measure up to their personal standard.
They would make judgements, justifications and comments like these below, and actually believe they've made a valid point...
"
A barrel stove? Yup, that'll look good in a living room. What would the price be of a non ELITIST stove? It would probably be made in China, right?"
Maybe I like the looks of a barrel stove; just because
you think it's ugly don't mean everyone does. Climb down off your high-horse.
"
Liberties? Whose liberties? What beliefs? Will we all have to conform to Olymon's bitter way of life?"
That would be
our liberties,
we all have identical liberties in this country (constitutionally). Liberties and beliefs have no relationship to each other, but you believe liberty is a personal belief system. You believe
you can "interpret" them according to
your beliefs. Climb down off your high-horse.
"
Sometimes "little guys" have a bad track record of not filling orders in a timely manner. Or their work isn't as pretty as the usual brands."
So that's your justification for running them out'a business with regulation?? Because "sometimes"?? Or they don't do "pretty" enough work for
your personal standard?? Climb down off your high-horse.
"
And why would I memorize the gubmint agency list? Was that part of my job? To sit and memorize a list of agencies? Come on, you make no sense."
You're the one who said from "personal experience" and "except DHS" and "most all". But then you attempt to turn it around, thinking you've somehow shown that I don't make sense. Climb down off your high-horse.
"
Would the Elitist stove be a spinoff of the Monarch stove? Or the Blaze King/Queen?"
You are, in fact, a prime example of why I personally believe the idiom of "elitist stove" fits perfectly... and the laughable part is your elitism blinding you to why that is, not your attempted witticism above.
