A tip for commentators: when you would say "our elites", instead say "we". Put away the whiny, populist self-othering, and take some responsibility. The worldview of responsible government starts with this perspective shift.

Do y’all think all commentators should do this or just ones working for “serious” publications?

Really depends what you're trying to do. "Serious" can mean "with appearance of dignity", or can mean "seriously intends to catalyze particular worldview developments", or something else. For what we're doing, it's a necessity.

Americans would probably say the existence of a class like that is bad, not sure it’s avoidable and it can be a serious check on entrenched power if rich/independent enough.

Americans, and liberalism, say a lot of things are bad. We exist to examine those predjudices with a critical and thoughtful eye, accepting where they are right, challenging where wrong.
