A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
you underestimate the power of mean, lots of intelligent well educated people are just mean
and they lie
I’m genuinely curious how, precisely, this is a perspective that negates my post?
Calling for the broad education of a population is a path to inoculating it against a narrow and fragile subset so scared of their shadow they need everyone to be dragged down to their level.
