Anyone who have played with me longer than couple days can sign that I am "Elitist jerk and arrogant bastard" as I like to put it. I was talking yesterday with my old friend about wow, and that little elitist in me raise up when we started to talk about raiding and he told that he've been called elitist lately cause of his attitude and he don't really mind that so I went and asked about his DPS (part of performace in raiding) and he told 5 to 6k... HE's a god damn mage and has uldaur gears, I did same DPS with my lol hybrid you should be healing enhancement shaman back in Naxxramas so I kinda told him about that. I wouldn't had taken him in to my raids (no Toast raids weren't mine) with taht DPS and I am not sure about his performance either, how well he can dodge void zones, as they seem to start to get progress in Ulduar10 at last (hey guys there is new raid already coming that should've been clear ages ago and you should farm gears). But anyways back to topic, elitism what it is exactly is and am I really an elitist, let's see waht wikipedia has to say about it:
Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite—a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes—are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight or those who view their own views as so; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.[1] Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of the elite. Those opposed to elitism are considered supporters of anti-elitism, populism or the political theory of pluralism. Elite theory is the sociological or political science analysis of elite influence in society - elite theorists regard pluralism as a utopian ideal.
Elitism may also refer to situations in which an elite individual assumes special privileges and responsibilities in the hope that this arrangement will benefit humanity or themselves. At times, elitism is closely related to social class and what sociologists call social stratification. Members of the upper classes are sometimes, though inaccurately, known as the social elite. The term elitism is also sometimes used to denote situations in which a group of people claiming to possess high abilities or simply an in-group or cadre grant themselves extra privileges at the expense of others. This form of elitism may be described as discrimination. Such elitism has social psychological consequences.
Yes, I am an elitist and I would say that most nerds are according to sources in this post. And I am losing train of my thought again so I quit for short this time. I will get back to this subject later date though, don't worry.
