They want to destroy academics b/c they think critically and then teach lots of people at once how to think critically too. Critical thinkers don’t fall as easily for propaganda

As Plato put it
It is better to be unborn than untaught; for ignorance is the root of misfortune.
It is ignorance that has drawn you to this misfortune you are now suffering.
Got it in one. Here in the UK, education is being disassembled for exactly the same reasons. It's like we're at the end of an evolutionary branch and there's nowhere else for the brain to go, except into reverse.
Definitely a self inflicted extinction event. There's psychological evidence that some groups are trying to hasten our demise, rather than clean up our mess. 'go out with a bang' - I'm sure I read it in neuroscience news.
Yes, it's quite disturbing that some groups are trying to bring about our extinction by violent means.
If you look at it all dispassionately, the planet won't be affected whether we're here or not, it'll continue to roll, but that doesn't mean we should destroy ourselves or other creatures.
I was a long time academic. And watched while the academics fell the deepest for Marxist / fascist propaganda. The academic mind is quite susceptible to command and control in the ivory tower.
I don’t think so. A fascist regime gets rid of traditional academics and intellectuals then install party actors who will enforce party ideals. Elite implies respect or support, and rather they are threatened and persecuted
Their kids need educated to keep the wheel running, but everyone else only needs a 5th-8th grade education. Just enough to be a good little worker bee.

Scientists, Doctors, and really anyone who doesn't agree with their agenda and may have a voice or power to defy what they claim.
