"So are you a classicist dick who doesn't know how to appreciate the working class?" No, I just want the working class to educate themselves enough to become people capable of civic competence which is bare minimum of proper living. That would be the minimum requirement that would be required of everyone in terms of education policy, so that's why we should demand more intellectually at school.
It always infuriates me when people think I hate the working class just because they are working class. No, I hate the working class because they don't want to adopt the level of education that would give them civic competence. We can blame this partly on society, which cuts education and demands nothing from anyone, and partly on the idiocy of the working class itself.
What I mean by civic competence is that a person should be able to use reason, justify their views, be able to solve their own problems, and understand when someone is smarter than them and listen to that smarter person, which would help them grow as people. With that, they wouldn't have so many problems in life, they wouldn't have to waste tax money on things that are the sum of their own stupid choices, they wouldn't die alone and wouldn't be in stupid company that leads them towards a shitty life.
Let's take a look at numerous examples based on my own life, which I have seen firsthand when I came from the working class to academia.
Alcohol and drug addictions. Addicts exist in every social class, of course, but they are most prevalent in the lower social classes and their use is much more uncontrolled. There's a reason for that, namely that people from working-class backgrounds never bother to think about where their feelings even come from, what they should actually do to make that feeling go away, and what kind of meaning they want to create in an otherwise meaningless life. Instead of going through the uncomfortable process of reflection that would ultimately solve their mental health problems, they take the easy fix and drink alcohol or use drugs. I think it's fucking stupid, how on earth can't a person be honest even with themselves? How come they don't, for example, write their own feelings and events raw, as they are, into a document file on the computer and start analyzing and processing them? Then I'm also annoyed by this nonsense that "fuck there's no therapy available, shut up" when ok. You don't need to go to therapy to fix your mental health problems, just study the same theory your therapist has studied and apply it to your life. We have a Finnish upper secondary school where you can pay €15 per psychology and philosophy course where you can learn all the theory related to the structures of the mind, emotions, setting boundaries and taking care of mental health and rational thinking and finding meaning and purpose in life. Then, once you have completed those upper secondary courses, you can move on to open university courses, which cost around €50-150 per course and are significantly more extensive than upper secondary courses. After that, you can start reading psychological and philosophical literature and talking to artificial intelligence about things. During all these paid studies and knowledge accumulation, you will constantly take notes and write your own diary in which you reflect on things. But here's the thing: the lower classes are not interested in anything. They are not interested in reading or writing, even if it would make them feel better in the long run and they would no longer have addictions. They are intellectually lazy and want to drink alcohol until the grave. That's why I think we should let it be, let natural selection take them out. But then it shouldn't be too surprising why any responsible person would consider addicts to be animals, that should just die off so they don't cause harm to innocent people like their children who never fucking asked to be born into this world.
Anti-intellectualism, patriarchy, incel ideology and the natural selection that comes from it. I think that this demographic crisis, where fewer children are being born and no one is even interested in relationships, is due to the historical reason that during the transition from a patriarchal culture to a meritocratic culture, boys from lower social classes were not properly raised in the spirit of meritocracy, but continued with patriarchal upbringing. In the past, women were not allowed to work in certain positions and receive proper education, so there was no competition, meaning men from the lower social classes gained their positions purely because they had a worm in their pants. The origin of this entire male superiority complex syndrome is also related to that era, the hegemony of that time demanded a world of thought that women deserve a subordinate position because they are "inferior". In reality, loser men benefited from this arrangement because they don't want more competition in studies and work. A superiority complex always comes from a person's internal shame towards their own objective and measurable inferiority. Those truly successful men don't need some incel ideology to feel whole, and these men are specifically demonized by incels. When we started moving towards a meritocracy and women started getting educated, no one cared whether you had a worm in your pants or not, but whether you were actually smart. The upbringing of men from the lower social classes was non-existent in a patriarchal culture, meaning they were never required to take any kind of responsibility and make an effort, because they didn't have to, the position came naturally with the help of their testosterone poisoning, dick and balls, not by their intelligence, skills and merits.
This attitude of lower class men, due to a lack of meritocratic and egalitarian upbringing, then led to women who valued education for the sake of improving their own status, passing over those who would not have earned the unjust privileges brought by a patriarchal culture, but now people are truly chosen for their intelligence. Did poor academic performance make these low-level men humble themselves and realize that I'm shit and that I should really learn more about things? Instead of being the insufferable mansplaining know-it-all? No. Instead of meritocratic introspection and responsibility for fixing things, they began a victimization that stems from the male superiority complex syndrome of patriarchal culture. No, instead of it being my fault, because there's never anything wrong with a man if a woman does better, instead, the education system favors women. The fault lies with the education system and scientific community, not me, even though the way science is done is exactly the same. And people are not selected for the scientific community based on whether you have a worm in your pants, but whether your arguments are reasonable.
