[FRIAM] Globalism in the age of populism? .. & Open Source Software

< I remain confused by the concept of "elites".  >

An elite is a symbol for an unknown bad guy.  The bad buy exists somewhere at a distance.  The elite must have caused  me and my kind pain, or ignored me and my pain, because things aren't going well for me.    This symbol validates their irresponsibility, and makes them feel better.    The symbol is introduced by cynical politicians on both sides, but mostly right wingers, that need some voters to unify around them and give them more power than they had.
