The elitism lies in the lumping of all those things that one doesn't like,
because of some bogus labelling, into a single heap to be labelled "trash".
Despite the incredible dissimilarity (and unrelatedness) of the things being
so labelled.  Maybe elitism is not the right word, but is there some better
word for lumping all things you don't like into one trashheap category for
convenience?
