Yes, they are their own worst enemy. If they changed their stance and encouraged college/careers they would have more affluent members sitting there.
It’s obvious they are very threatened by education. Maybe it’s because education can shake the flimsy belief system OR that education can make a person more confident and they can’t have that. Maybe it’s plain old jealousy because the ‘higher up’s’ don’t have higher education.
They want servile members with low self-confidence sitting there.. I’m not exaggerating and I think this is literal.
So, rather than have educated, confident and more affluent people there, they would rather have poorer more ignorant members. Maybe they feel they have more control this way and none of the uneducated higher-ups need feel intimidated or embarrassed by encounters with educated individuals in the circuits. Just my opinion.
