What political extremists call someone who proposed a reasonable and valid idea or opinions that the extremist cannot argue or refute because the person was right.

A self-loathing American who disparages American society and people with sweeping negative stereotypes and subjective rantings, with unsaid implication that they have somehow risen above their countrymen and behave in a more cultured manner. EAS is especially common among young Americans who have traveled or lived briefly in an expat bubble overseas.
