It looks like elitism never changes, and rural people will never shake the scorn of city people, internet or no internet.

Unless that's sarcasm of course.

I think the scorn goes both ways.

Perhaps, but what I've witnessed: (in the broadest strokes of unspecificity)

Rural: "I don't like what the city folk are doing. They should change."

Urban: "I don't like what the country folks are doing. This is how we should change them."

You're getting a tug-of-war of downvotes/upvotes, let me see if I can expand too:

Rural: "The city-living ways don't work out here so well, but there's too many of you guys for me to even begin to tell you how to act or what to do, so as a compromise just let me be"

City: "Rural folk live really unsustainably/unculturably/deplorably but they don't know any better, its up to us to make them understand. Anyway the urban center provides more value than what the countryside provides, we should be dictating the path of progress in this county/state/country/continent.

The locus of power has always been around cities though, so that is where elites and elitism will always centralize.
