@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

@yoeight @mandubian I'd prefer to embrace the positive connotation and anti-elitists can go fuck themselves. Join me.

@dibblego @mandubian I think at the end, we both agree with you. You will have to know that in french, every word ending by -isme is bad
