I'm annoyed by the left, especially the baby leftists who don't understand how to make the world move forward.
The basic mechanism that has made the world move forward is to create economic incentives to get people educated and make them do science.
This is why, in an ideal society, the less educated always get paid less than the academically educated. If things go the other way around, it is no longer economically viable to even get an education and it leads to regression because there are no scientific breakthroughs and the resulting innovations. Society becomes backward.
Well, regardless of class, many leftists are of course opposed to wage gaps, even if the demands of education justify it. So their ideas lead to backwardness.
What is the mechanism that makes leftists think in a way that sooner or later leads to anti-scientific thinking and regression? Well, it's class.
Leftists from working-class backgrounds are poorly educated, so they don't really understand anything, especially not how much more demanding a university is compared to a vocational school. Heck, they don't even know what university is.
Leftists from lower middle class does not understand that a university of applied sciences does not provide research university-level education, but rather that their education corresponds more closely to the upper secondary school level.
You can't talk to a Finnish person from a working-class background because they don't understand lower secondary school level things, the bare minimum that would be required to function in this society. You can't talk to a lower middle class Finnish person because they don't understand upper secondary school level things, the bare minimum required for scientific thinking. So no matter what you tell them about the conditions for the development of science and its impact on society, they are too stupid to understand it.
The leftist academic upper middle class, on the other hand, believes in extreme egalitarian leftism only because they are not class conscious enough to recognize that the working class and lower middle class are rightfully subordinate to academics. No, it is not financial struggles or lack of time behind lower education, but they have an anti-intellectual attitude towards learning.
