Precisely. Our education system is deeply mired in the muck of privatized funding of public education. Hopefully we can root this shit out and enforce some regulations soon.
Honestly just restricting private donations and forcing them to fucking pay taxes like the rest of us would fix a large part of this.
The rich not only control the media, but vast swaths of our academics as well. Especially so-called economists and “business experts”, like the bootlicker quoted here.
These people know nothing about neurology or psychology. They’re being paid to repeat bullshit so people get complacent (and worse, use their ‘expertise’ to influence lawmaking).
Just because they’re cowards who disavow responsibility doesn’t make them intelligent.
EVERYONE knows to not do inhumane shit out in the open, it doesn’t tale intelligence to understand that. Even children know to hide bad behavior.
I think you’re right that they aren’t below average intelligence, but you’re giving them too much credit.
