This is a pretty vague claim. Can you go into more detail on who the elite are and which kinds of collectivism they've been fighting against?

Elite: corporations, financiers, and their media and military arms. The "successful" capitalists.

On collectivism: Gutting organised labor wherever possible, gutting education & social programs in general, pushing identity issues to divide the population, "war on drugs", terrorism & FUD, ideological war on socialism/communism/Marxism.

I guess the anti-war and adjacent movements of the 70s is what really set them off.
