re: Do you believe in Elite Theory?

The world is happiest when these elites are too busy struggling with their peers to get their claws into governance. When they come together or one rises to the top, a dark age is on the horizon.

This is true. Peace and prosperity for the masses is most available during times of conflict amongst the rulers. Having checks and balances on power creates an equalizing effect.

This is also how our government was supposed to behave. The courts, legislature bodies, and executive branches were all supposed to be at odds. As well as the other elite institutions like business, Church, medicine, technology, education, etc.

However now, they all seem to be speaking the same language and walking in sync with eachother. This cooperation amongst these elite institutions will create hostility towards the people, as they will be deemed a threat to their absolute power.
