America's Super-Elite Disconnect
Last month came a fascinating new report from the institute of Scott Rasmussen, founder of the famed Rasmussen Reports polling center. Its aim was to, for the first time, quantitatively define the true ‘elite’ of society, which control most of our social n...
As said in the article, we all already knew that the elites were more isolated in the ivory towers than ever, but it's great to see hard data like that and get a more accurate glimpse of what is really going on.
What really baffles me is that people still buy the idea that the right is the side of the "white elite" and the big corporations, while the left is the champion of the common people.
The elite have a really good media relations arm. We call it the press.
Top comment politely asking an interesting question. That data might be in there. Do any of you anons have an in to Scott Rasmussen?
No idea. I just found this link on Founding Questions, found the data useful, then decided to pass it along. It is already making the rounds on the dissident sphere.
Edit: Link has already been posted on Gab, Jim's blog and Z Man. Found another blog talking about it as well:

Can you give me the zmann Gab link? I can't find his Gab account.

The search bar on Gab sucks.
No worries!
Thank you for linking this interesting data, though I will say that most of us here would have accurately predicted how such research would turn out. Still feels nice to have it in writing.
A report from the institute of Scott Rasmussen. This data is used to figure out who exactly is amongst America's elite and what their views are. Most of this is stuff pretty well known by the crowd in dissident circles but it is nice to have some more data to back up the knowledge.
70% of them preferring to cheat rather then lose an election is why we're fucked long-term.
Without an independent media willing to call a spade a spade, how can we possibly clean up our elections?
They simply deny it's happening before eventually admitting that some shenanigans took place, but not enough to change the result. Rinse and repeat.
We can't even call a spade a spade on this forum (Rule 16)
I meet the criteria for the super-elite (cool flex bro), but I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and have managed to maintain my connection to reality…but I move in these circles, and holy crap is this shit true. The people in my bubble have no fucking clue what happens outside of it and basically hate poor white people and freedom. It’s a religious belief, so you can’t reason them out of it, which means it’s probably going to take torches and pitchforks to get them to reconsider.
The other funny thing is that the vast majority of them aren’t particularly book smart (let alone street smart). Most of them were just born into the right circumstances or are really good at sucking dick.
Hai itz me ur frend u sed u wil gib alll ur moneyz too
Hah, sad to say that what the wife and I pull in (which sounds like a lot) is enough for raising a kid and having a decent single-family home and a little bit of savings, but very far from “wiping my ass with $100 bills” territory where we live.
Instead of wealth, I ask a different boon. If your elite 'friends' all start talking about abandoning ship to their secret bunkers, please make sure to post here so we know about it, too. The forewarning would be greatly appreciated.
We've all been wondering why the government puts out such obvious nonsense lately, such as the recent freak out over "right wing extremists." We all roll our eyes, and in our cynicism think that they can't possible believe that.
I've lately started to believe that they really do mean it when they say things like that, and this article is an important indicator to explain why they do.
The 1% referenced in this survey are the people in D.C. who make policy decisions. They really do believe what they say. This survey confirms it.
You don't hate the denizens of the DC area nearly as much as you should.
sincerely, Someone from the DC area
oof.
I see now how you got radicalized.
I just wanted to play video games...
So, are these "elites" running the brainwashing machinery of the mainstream media, or are they it's victims?
Are they it's sole, intended victims, kept in the dark by some secret 0.00000000001% superelite?
Yes.
Falling prey to the monsters they created, there's a certain poetry to it I suppose
Ah.
So they intend to kill us.
Noted.
