What elitism? I spent my childhood in hard poverty, I watched my dad die, and my mum succumb to addiction. We got evicted so often I've honestly lost count. I had to steal and sometimes even beg just to put food on the table.
My motive lies in assuring that no kids have to grow up like I did, and if that's elitism, then fine. Let it be elitism. Maybe on top of this I can also be a leprechaun, or some other inconsequential abstraction. Throw any metaphysics you want at me. I've already been a thief, a degenerate, a wastrel and a mooch, if I am an elitist today, then perhaps I am moving up in the world.
