The guy who wrote that, Simplicius, has been the most accurate in his predictions of the Russia / ukraine war of any of the OSINT (open source intelligence) accounts I have been following. His general assessments have been about a year ahead of the mainstream narrative and they have been mostly very accurate.

Don’t just take my word for it though:

I balance simplicius out with Riley, who's more casual and lighthearted on his $3,000 Russian village farm, while expressing less enthusiasm for the Russian elites than western dissidents typically want to accept.

Elite: a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.

However dislikable, controlling the government, military, finance, culture, and people of a country, kind of does make you an 'elite'. It's the abilities, not some 'wonderful qualities'.

Sometimes such examinations (chasing the 'banality of wealth' vs contentment) stem from a privileged, elitist, or colonialist mindset: “Boohoo, those Mexican waiters serve me with so much more respect than the poor American schlubs in my town.” That’s why my attempt is to sketch a broader, more applicable societal comparison than merely the admittedly superficial contrast of service quality. The finer distinction is in that grand chase for the now illusory ‘American Dream’, something vital is lost. People are inculcated to be ever-dissatisfied with their lot, and it has bred a culture bereft of stillness, no appreciation for the presence of the moment. Everyone is busy mentally casting for those faraway dreams as they muck and rake through their arrhythmic lives, discontent with shame.

If this article appears 'stupid' from your elitist perch, we should all bow down to your intellectual superiority. Just cash your check and show us the erudite denunciation of the opinions and propositions expressed within money, and we shall.

Elite... El-ite... El = Baal

Baal worshippers = elite

Whichever specific entity, seems likely the worlds elites are 'satanists' to some degree or other. There's a fair amount of evidence available to even a casual observer.
