Anti-elitism. To have a fear of skill. To propagate social acceptance of mediocrity.

@dibblego Maybe the right word is not "elitism" but "excellence"... Much more positive concept. But agree with the terrible fear of skill ;)

@mandubian Elitism is a positive concept. Don't let any D-grader tell you otherwise.

@dibblego @mandubian said that because in french, the word elitism refers to something bad by its definition.

@yoeight @mandubian A lot of English speakers will say the same thing for the same reason. They are wrong.

@dibblego @mandubian Can't tell for english but in french, elitism doesn't subsume excellence as it refers to a social class.

@yoeight @mandubian English speakers try exactly the same hijack.

@dibblego @mandubian That's why we French pick the word excellence instead. Because it doesn't require you to be born into privilege
