No, the result is not the same. The comment I replied to said “if they even exist”. > If such a thing as "the elites" exists They definitely exist and they are definitely worth talking about as a group that wields immense power. Nobody ever implied they had homogeneous views though except for the person I replied to. They are worth talking about because it’s a group of people that does not live within the normal constraints of the rest of society (making ends meet, having to be happy with the laws with no means to make chances, etc).
