Sure we can quibble about the median quality of a college education in the US, you you have to draw the line somewhere. But the issue I'm pointing at is people get lazy conflating education with social progressiveness and egalitarianism and dismiss people with different worldviews as "uneducated". There are plenty of intelligent well-educated people who are morally bankrupt or deeply mistaken. After all, eugenics came from some of the most "educated" minds in the world.
If you buy into the propaganda, that means you aren’t educated nor intelligent, sorry dude. You can be rocket scientist and still be considered uneducated and unintelligent.
My friend, the messages that only uneducated people can be pro-fascist and educated people are immune to propaganda is propagandistic. It's reductive and misleading. Evil does not limit itself to the ignorant. Still,I think we have different meanings of "educated"
