Elite's
Elites are a small group of people who hold a disproportionate amount of control over the livelihood of the rest of biological species. The Elites themselves are tuned by a very small group of Key Players, those key players are the core of an intricate set of overlapping political, economic & military Elite circles.In the
Paleolithic age Elites were simply the dominant Alpha male leaders, those early Elites outlawed human incest, by this the Alpha male leader ensured public approval everytime the he decided to gain access to the daughters of Beta male peasants. As a result of undermining Beta Male patriarchs via new laws, more power transferred to lawmaking
Elite Alpha Male.The Sumerian
city state culture was the most formidable counter-elite form of self-rule. This remained the case until
Sargon of Akkad managed to subdue
Sumer,
Sargon first tactic was using cultural divide between Akkadian peasants & Sumerian peasants. However, Sargon long-term strategy was sharing power with Elites who sided with him vs the peasants. During Sargon 50 years of rule he built a network of Political-Economic-Military
Multi-Ethnic alliances, Elites remained loyal to Sargon because they seeked the backup of the Akkadian Empire to intimidate their local peasants. When Sargon died, other Elites made it their purpose to match the greatness of Sargon, this greatness is measured by the extent of Law, Order & Taxation imposed on the Governed Citizens

Elitism

Elitism is the feeling or notion that oneself or their group- along with the accompanying ideals and standards- are better than another person's or
group's. Contrary to most of the ill-informed definitions given on UD, Elitism is NOT a trait found only in the
weak-minded, or those incapable of formulating their own views. It actually is very common to find Elitism in fields such as Physics and other science, since not all scientists conform to the same theories. While it may
inhibit progress in some instances, it does keep a rough accepted norm for what is logical to believe.
Example:
When
Quantum Mechanics was first proposed, many Physicists refused to accept that it could be correct, which is an example of
sensible Elitism, as no theory in
Physics had ever claimed anything like it.
The U.S. Government houses extreme amounts of Elitism, none of which is productive to the country.

A noble creature of high stature. It stands seven feet tall and has impressive
musculature. Commonly seen
on the battlefield, it's rank can be derived from the color of armor it wears. Blue is the common color of the
foot soldier and red denotes a command position. There have been sightings of golden elites, some believe they hold the highest command rankings, and a soldier reported to have seen a white elite once, however there were no other reports. It appears that the ranking system is based on the number of kills in combat the elite has had. Truly magnificent soldiers.
Example:
I only ever encountered one of those 'lites once, and I never want to see one again. Before we knew what hit us, half our 'toon had been
wiped out. It took out thirty men
single-handedly before we could
kill it. All I can say is thank God it was just one...
