  • It was good. This paragraph was the sickest burn on LFGSS posters:

    The best educated people think they are rational and not susceptible to illusions and
    stories while the public are irrational and therefore should be corraled by the priests of
    the ‘cathedral’ (i.e Harvard, Oxbridge, NYT, Guardian), but the truth is that the best
    educated are more susceptible to illusions and stories than the general uneducated public.
    (E.g look at how elite graduates fell for Stalinist propaganda in the 1930s, and how elite
    graduates were the suckers for conspiracy theories on Brexit/Trump/Russia/Facebook.
    Nobody is easier for a propaganidist to fool than an elite graduate confident in their own
    moral superiority, because if you get your mesage right they do most of the work for you.)
