this is only part of a very important thing to read. especially those who vote democrat or establishment republican. You need to know what you are voting for.. http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-global-elites-forsake-their-countrymen-1470959258 Those in power see people at the bottom as aliens whose bizarre emotions they must try to manage. (whole section on Merkel at link) then.... The larger point is that this is something we are seeing all over, the top detaching itself from the bottom, feeling little loyalty to it or affiliation with it. It is a theme I see working its way throughout the West’s power centers. At its heart it is not only a detachment from, but a lack of interest in, the lives of your countrymen, of those who are not at the table, and who understand that they’ve been abandoned by their leaders’ selfishness and mad virtue-signalling. On Wall Street, where they used to make statesmen, they now barely make citizens. CEOs are consumed with short-term thinking, stock prices, quarterly profits. They don’t really believe that they have to be involved with “America” now; they see their job as thinking globally and meeting shareholder expectations. In Silicon Valley the idea of “the national interest” is not much discussed. They adhere to higher, more abstract, more global values. They’re not about America, they’re about . . . well, I suppose they’d say the future. In Hollywood the wealthy protect their own children from cultural decay, from the sick images they create for all the screens, but they don’t mind if poor, unparented children from broken-up families get those messages and, in the way of things, act on them down the road. From what I’ve seen of those in power throughout business and politics now, the people of your country are not your countrymen, they’re aliens whose bizarre emotions you must attempt occasionally to anticipate and manage. In Manhattan, my little island off the continent, I see the children of the global business elite marry each other and settle in London or New York or Mumbai. They send their children to the same schools and are alert to all class markers. And those elites, of Mumbai and Manhattan, do not often identify with, or see a connection to or an obligation toward, the rough, struggling people who live at the bottom in their countries. In fact, they fear them, and often devise ways, when home, of not having their wealth and worldly success fully noticed. more at link...
That's the "third World" -elite mentality being adopted in the West. As some cosy up with "third World" leaders and envy the benefits off subserviant servants, much more lavish lifestyle than in the west, they get into that mindset. And strangely, these "elite" do not want to live and settle in third world countries. For some reasons the high gates, the high corruption, the extremely high crime rate, the political instability that comes with this "third world" leaders mentalities is something they flee by staying in the West.
