Honestly this is just propaganda in action paying off. decades of anti-education rhetoric have some people literally believing partisan political commentators are more trustworthy than the academic community.

It's the core of why we are where we are.

It’s what Musk and the techno-fascists want, to destroy universities, so that they can control the populace. These nerd are just absolutely sure that they’re better equipped to rule than anyone else. I find it very telling that the can only take control if everyone is uneducated.

Immigrants! But only the good ones. And they'll be scared the whole time that someone might think they're the bad kind. So they'll be willing to work for less to keep their heads down.
