There’s a reason the right is constantly seeking to make schools worse and good education harder to access (elitism/expensive private schools etc)

It’s actually something that has been done pretty much by anyone in power in the past who was trying to consolidate their position without actually giving the people what they want.

Hitler’s regime started by rounding up scientists and scholars purely to make sure nobody got any ideas that were detrimental to his power.

It’s just sad that the voters for (extremist) right people don’t see that the endgame is just for a select group, not for all, and they see themselves as part of that select group whilst they’re actually part of the other.

So MAGA folk think they’re part of that elite group that will benefit from right wing dismantling of social programs and not part of poor immigrants whilst they’re actually economically closer to those poor immigrants. Not just America, though, Germany is going in that direction as well right now and in Europe more and more of these voices are being heard.

  Yup, a CERTAIN JACKASS in Cambodia did the exact same. Killed people just because they wore glasses which was a sign of dangerous intellectualism.

    The similarities between Pol Pot and Trump keep me up at night.

They don’t want competition, and they especially don’t want people that are immune to bullshit.
