> An uneducated society is easy to manipulate

This is nonsense. There’s no Illuminati out to make the population dumber. There _is_ a bunch of identity politics ignoramouses out the gut colleges that “corrupt our values” and it’s an easy thing to point to as a win when your base (who keep you in power) are mouth breathing retards who see higher education (and intelligence in general) as nuisances.

Make no mistake: their goal is more money for companies, and this is merely a way to keep their base happy so they can keep their shareholders happy.
