    education plays a big part in thier feelings too, thats why its being slashed or neglected everywhere. better to keep people ignorant and stupid to control them. of course this wont fix it entirely as even the “educated with degrees” are susceptible but due to other factors involved too.

      It’s really not that strategic. It’s that ignorant people don’t see the value in education. So school boards get filled with loud asshole people who barely made it out of high school, shouting at each other “muh kids don’t need tuh know how anything works, cuz I don no how nutn works an I’m OK!”

      Undereducated people rarely act in their best interests, but they act all the time because they’re filled with fear and unable to rationalize or plan their way out of it. It’s a spiral, not a strategy.

      All this does is return to the old ways of private schools operating as class-based-Jim Crow. Sort of sad, we had 2 or 3 generations at most that really benefited from American public schooling before it all wobbled apart from second and third-order effects.
