"Michael Pascoe: In defence of the ‘elites’, they simply make better decisions" - this is a particularly cunty, smug (sh)article, out of a publication based in Australia's most working class major city (Adelaide), basically telling Referendum "No Voters" like me how stupid we all are...

Being bigoted against those who spent less time on their education indoctrination, is one of the most common and accepted forms of bigotry. Aydin Paladin did a good documentary on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdwtbIulfI0

If the Elite were only people who worked their way up the chain to be top dog or even graduated top of some top school I might give credence that they knew something. Not better, but at least a possible perspective.

But nearly all our Elite are just legacy rich and their background is barely qualified to manage anything. Its always something worthless like "community organizer."

When I was young, I thought Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc were zealous about eliminating the "educated elite" just to remove any threat to their rule, and I couldn't wrap my head around how they convinced their populations to go along with it. I was an idiot. I never would have even considered that the demand for it was actually bottom up.

It just seems so obvious now.

Lots of things about the mustache seem obvious now.

And being an inner-city resident doesn’t mean you are out of touch with the hard life of those doing it tougher. It can mean you are better informed and less gullible.

The Voice plan or whatever you call it was objectively terrible for all Australians except for the indigenous community. I don't care if you're an elite or not. You're retarded if you voted yes on that dumpster fire of an idea.

As for the abuse the Yes indigenous leaders copped

Oh shut the fuck up. Using your definition of "abuse", those who voted no were subjected to far worse.

This is written from the opposite perspective/"side", but it details much of the same smug condescension from said "elites":

It also, more importantly, details how said elites want to forcibly censor social media platforms in response, because we're all too stupid to be allowed to think for ourselves, apparently...

Much like what Starmer is bringing in, in the UK, as well. Though that process had already begun under the so-called "Conservatives" there, of course...

Indaily is basically a company paper not a real newspaper. Ironically though it's financed by CBUS Super who are the main super fund of the the CFMEU - who are currently under Administration in Australia due to Corruption.

One justification for this I saw from a rich guy:

why do people complain about "daddy's money"? so his dad worked harder than yours? and thats a problem because...?

The disingenuous cunt completely ignored the absolutely appalling voter turnout for South Australia's version of the voice.

/s, or do you actually believe that..?? The downvotes suggest that the majority here... Wouldn't agree.

I would think that it's obvious. There was a time that you didn't need a "/s" on KiA, and I'm not changing because others are obtuse. I assume you only think it was serious because you saw other people downvoted it and thus thought it was unironic.
