They’re just straight up evil.

      Keep them just smart enough to work the machines, but too stupid to coordinate uprising.

      What’s really insane is they don’t even want the knowledge. They just want knowledge in any capacity to go away.

        No, they want the knowledge but only for themselves, after all during the guilded age, the educated where the rich and the rest where ignorant so they couldn’t push back and be controlled. PBS and NPR spread knowledge for the masses and THAT is what they want to stop

          I don’t think you’ve seen who’s doing all the destruction. These people do not care about gaining knowledge.

            A lot of them are ivy League educated and their rhetoric is performative. Yeah there’s a few dummy true believers in the bunch (more than there used to be, as we shift into the second/third generation of people being raised hearing it, not realizing it was the cover story)
