      Uneducated people overthrow governments. Educated people involve themselves so they make a better, longer lasting, more stable and effective government in the long run.

      There’s this consistent delusion that if we just burn everything down and start anew that this time it will all work out for the best.

      It hasn’t worked for the past two millenia, it’s not going to magically work now. All it does is give rise to new fascist states.

      But maybe educated young people will join the govt a well, and make it better, so that we will not want to overthrow the govt.

        That’s why we’re seeing the rise of private schools and an increase in cost. The forces that be want only the “right” people to be properly educated.
