In educating the masses you will only teach them how bad a deal they have gotten and what steps may be taken to rectify it. They are more malleable and pacifiable stewing in their own ignorance. Decreasing education grows the lumpenproletariat.

couldn’t put it better myself.

These kids have no future.

that said, i agree with the general truth of this paragraph, and the literal truth of “nobody cares about anything,” but it is also very much the case that the kids are wholly unaware of this future. their nihilism is actively caught up in the conscious consumption of food and media, somewhere around 1/3 of them simply refuse to stop listening to music in at least one ear during classes. they are very much living in a “dead flag blues” reality without realizing the lumpenproletarianization they are undergoing precisely by their having no drives or interests beyond what they can see and hear and smell that are in any sense animating.
