diatribe

One who tends to patronize, rebuff, or ignore people regarded as social inferiors and imitate, admire, or seek association with people regarded as social superiors.

One who affects an offensive air of self-satisfied superiority in matters of taste or intellect.

Characteristically, snobs look down on people who are part of groups that they regard as inferior or flaunt their wealth in order to make others feel inferior.

It seems that in these days of hyper capitalism snobs are the norm. They have build a world of perceived superior consumerism that the rest should be grateful for, when in principle is a construction based on the egotistical desire of power; with no real transcendence . The futile search for power they lack for their same futile nature and useless behavior.

Superior attitude is not merit or virtue; a concept that escapes snobs.
