"One percenter" is a widely-used term amongst millennials, It refers to the "Occupy" protests of 5-10 years ago and the notion that one percent of people own 50% of human capital/wealth. I guess slang in an essay is frowned upon, though.

I don't think it was the slang that was misunderstood. The Occupy movement in NYC for example was started by old hippie socialists in their 60's. It was the logical fallacy presented in the argument. How is "a one percenter of a more privileged variety" defined and where is your argument that defines hero? It was philosophy 101.

*Sigh* How times have changed. Now, 1% of people own a lot more than 50% of human capital/monetary wealth.

Heroes don't have to be rich. They don't even have to be human.
