Intellectual elitism
I have lived among intellectual elites through my schooling and in my professional life. I considered myself to be one of them. I cannot say so any more. Not when the intellectual elites of America trample human rights, enable tyranny, and support the perversion of humanity, all in the name of progress.
Wealth and progressivism
The super-wealthy tend to embrace progressive ideas and causes because they lose touch with the realities of life. They become financially and culturally detached from the real problems that the less-successful continue to deal with regularly. Because they have succeeded at their own endeavors, they think that grand institutions (particularly government and technology) can solve all of the world''s problems. Also, their wealth and prestige buys them association with other elites.
