Quote:The educated people support populists to fill their own pockets.
The motivation is a strawman. Your sweeping,elitist generalisation was that [only/mainly] the uneducated support popularists ,without equivocation.
As a species ALL human beings are motivated by self interest above all else.
Plus, 'educated' is relative. What do YOU mean by 'educated' ? For many it means 'literate' ,for others it means having finished high school,for others a university degree. For me it means being literate,widely read,insatiably curious, having some ability in rational thinking,and the awareness that learning never ends. Formal education does not make a person 'educated' if that person has not learned to think and to question..
