I always found “Simulation Theory” to be a lazy Reddit version of Deism to begin with, but especially these days it’s dire just how often undesirables are perceptibly stripped of personhood with that same belief system. It doesn’t pass as a joke for me when too many rich creeps like sermonize about it on the regular and their sycophantic followers feel more like Main Characters by nodding along.
Elitist just means knowledgeable to these people. It’s how they can call a barista with a hs diploma living in a 1 person apartment with 2 roommates an elite.
