Elitism?

Dude. I am an almost 50 year old, former truck driver with no formal education on any of this shit, and yet, I managed to figure it out.

"I, a person of a low status, figured it out. Therefore I am better, and you're stupid and lower than me if you can't do the same thing"

That's literally elitism, my dude. You're acting as if figuring out a specialty task somehow puts you on a higher pedestal than others who don't happen to have that same skillset.

Like, you did a thing, good for you, but now you're being an absolute assclown about it and pulling up the ladder instead of being even remotely helpful.
