the poor tend to be less educated

Education being free or not depends on the specific government and its policies of a sovereign country. Education may not be free in your country, in which case yes poor people have less access if they have less money to afford it.

You generalizing your experience in your country to the entire world, though, speaks to your bias and lack of education, which is quite ironic. It also speaks to your willingness to accept the status quo rather than try to undermine it and fight for something better for everyone.

If you're on Lemmy, you're likely not rich, and so you're acting against your own interest. We as a proletariat could achieve so much if we were willing to put aside our differences, aim towards the removal of rich twats from power, and install systems and policies that benefit us, not them.

Instead, you're propagating a lie with undertones that only rich people have the curiosity to learn about the world around them - as if they were born with that capability while the rest of us weren't - all while failing to recognize that immediate needs have to be met first before people think about pursuing higher goals.

Have a down vote.

    The rich are not us. You group us altogether, as if we share anything. We don't. The rich time and time again pit us against each other while planting the seed that we'll be them one day. We won't.

    Class consciousness?

    We can improve education by taking more money from billionaires?

    Billionaires want to keep their money, so education stays shit?

    Not poor people's fault?

    I'm literally talking to a rock.
