 #1 (from the opening statements)

Elitism is a cult of self-specialness.

It's exceptionalism or supremacism stems from a conflict of possession and control. IE: a sense of self-lack or fear set in illegitimate or envy or vengeance-driven 'getting' for a special or personal vindication.

Bastard was an illegitimate child - that is not lawfully entitled to inherit. Baseless claim or indeed unlawful claim or act also merits this meaning. Though the usual meaning is 'what I most hate, seen in others' as an expression of denial withholding or rage.

That's as far as I got - but regardless the world and its history of self-fulfilling guilt and fear, I use my perceptions and reactions to reveal myself to me - because the very nature of projection is unconscious or it would not work as a defence against what I haven yet or am not yet accepted as having a correspondence in me. This looking within cannot operate at the same time as a gaslighting or blaming mentality - in perp or victim mode.

#2 (To the main article's themes)

Parasites serve some symbiotic function. This may be said - not always, but for any living thing, I suggest always - whether we are aware of it or not. Nothing and no oneexists in and of itself alone.

I agree self-interest is the underlying principle but that self-definition is key to what at that moment operates to frame perceptions and responses.

The experience of fear or threat will have an effect on the mind of an individual as on a group that can be looked at on many levels ie biology as well as psychology. The reflex would resolve to restore natural rested function, but if the conflict persists, loops or is reset over and again, a condition sometimes called 'amygdala capture' operates as a reptilian brain override for in the focus of a fight-flight reaction all else is subordinated to the 'emergency powers'.

Under intense and extreme conditions, adaptation to a conflict state becomes identity within it. Here are the blocks to the peace from which to release an identity that fears loss of self, face or power as a result of restored Communication. So guilt and guilting aka the blame game operate every kind of manipulative masking deceit to protect the problem, the conflict, the realm of death and taxes - for neither are inherent to our creation are the level of our spirit but pertain to the mortal coil of masking in the body as a distancing and separation from Infinity - which is neither big or small - being edgeless or 'non local' as the locals here use as a more sciency term than anything associated with non-physical perspectives of the past.

But in the Bible as an example, the idea of the Adversary is within a greater 'Plan' or function, as activated in a sleeping Adam, initiated in Job but then restated in fulfilment in NT Jesus. I know the idea of evil get CAPS and generates an identity set over and against as if The Good Guys, but Jesus says resist ye not evil for a very specific warning, namely (in modern terms) what you resist persists, while that which is left unused fades from non use.
Perceived evils feed on emotional reaction, and 'transmit' contagion by resonance to the attempt to eradicate them - which righteously kills all the bastards as a self-vindicating sacrifice - and once started sets the basis of an identity that loves to hate, and so must hate to love, and so can only mask in virtue that it thought to claim in righteousness.
Pausing an instant to check in at the heart is not a technique, but the only way to truly live conscious to our life, for otherwise our conditioned reactions replay or reset our past - which is protected and mutates to ensure no future can 'break in' to relive the trauma that such strategies were set by and learned under.

Excepting that the complex of defences set by lies to conceal against true disclosure ARE a compound of death and taxes - for as you may have wits to see, death is 'unconscious ness' or denial of function to awareness set in the focus of an identity theft, or mis-taken inheritance.

So the masking order disintegrates to the rising of awareness - along with all the suppressed denials, conflicts and grievances, that a surface 'order' pushes beneath the table or gives a blind eye to.

One more point; the attempt to escape from our conflicts without addressing them, operates the 'magical solution' that repackages them into novel forms that effectively redistribute psychic energies such as to determine 'who pays' in a negatively operating pass the parcel of blame, running in a Fabian construct of musical chairs, accelerating under opportunistic orgy of plunder from destruction.

For fungi feeds on dead stuff, without which life would choke on death (as in fact a culture of death does in denial of life). So a willingness to take the feedback of our experience of a world as valid results to an input that also runs under our own radar as subconscious habits or unconscious denials is the willingness of bringing the unconscious to awareness in stead of endlessly sacrificing light and life to a gaslighting complex of defences set very deeply in protection under trauma and self-protected from casual interference - ie surrounded with thorns or guarded by terrors. What is true love but nothing added or taken away?
Notice how in emergency held in presence is guided to only do what is needful and not do what is not required. This is not a moral code, but alignment in energy and purpose.
There is more could unpack from this because a seeming unity can access resources that are unwise to underestimate. Fear driven agenda can access ingenuity that predictively anticipates what you were about to think, but it cannot create, it can only feed off the Creator it must deny in order to seem to exist.
