There are always multiple establishments. If one establishment doesn’t suit you, you can always go right next door to the other establishment labelled “the anti-establishment” and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals as you sneer at the other establishment and congratulate yourself on your independent-mindedness.

Nowadays the anti-establishment is bigger and richer than the actual establishment, which is why we all wear t-shirts to work and sneer at those who have to wear suits.

Are there groups that exist outside both the establishment and anti-establishment? Sure, but they’re weird and scary and if you join them you’ll definitely be banned from polite society.

Well, OK, there's an exception to every rule... although that may be prominence not eminence.

I can thank George for helping us to understand why our 'eminent' leadership have been so remarkably silent about the many pressing issues of our time. Silence and eminence have always been such good buddies.
