There's NOTHING worse than an unwarranted elitist...
what ever happened to being a decent human being?... in the arms race to be better than everyone else and aquaint ourselves with completely obscure shit, because we're remotely intelligent, people forgot one significant detail.... you can be BOTH intellectual AND cordial... dismissing someone merely because they haven't heard of String Theory or whatever is just as shallow and arbitrary as the culture you supposedly critique... Obscurity Mongers, Pseudo-Intellectuals, Starfuckers, ad nauseum... Avast, foul charlatans!!!!... take your shagged haircuts, tacky argyle granny socks, black-rimmed glasses, hypocritical Jack Kerouac fetishes, and that ironic bootleg copy of indigenous Inui't polka you scored on vinyl for $ .33 cents... and get out of the temple... pass the torch back to the REAL elitists... you're not better than me because you've recently downloaded every Le Tigre track and fervently crammed for your next pop (culture) quiz at the party this weekend... you're not even better if you heard of them 5 years ago... if the only claim to arrogance you have is that you've read Foucalt's complete works from cover to cover, then I pity you... "Misanthrope" is not a title to be granted broadly... only once a person has realized that most people are obtuse, SHALLOW, unethical pricks, can one enter into the hall of righteousness... there's no excuse for being an asshole....
