Elitist refers to a belief or attitude that considers a select group of people—often those with wealth, education, or social status—as superior to others, leading to a hierarchy where the elite make decisions for the less privileged. Paternalistic, on the other hand, describes an approach where those in power make decisions for others, often under the guise of protection or care, assuming that they know what is best for those they govern or influence. Both concepts can lead to a lack of agency for individuals and groups deemed "lesser" or incapable of making their own choices.
