EU has worked very hard in last 70 years on de-education of society - dumb people are easier to control - thats why schools in many cuntries teach dumbed down knowledge compared to what they tought 30-40 years ago
well educated society thinks to much - its much easier to steer dumb not thinking masses especialy if they live in cozy bubble of well working social system and i they have good supply of stuff in shops and conventrate in free time mainly on dumb tv shows and computer games.
dont blame indivituals for what goverments are doin - they are just stupid drones.
