No doubt that they do. I’m just not sure if it’s productive to say that this is an inherent characteristic to fascist propaganda, or if that’s trivializing the issue, since many intelligent and educated people are also drawn to it. Minor point of distinction though, I grant you that.
Absolutely it’s productive, and important. Also maybe I have the barest semblance of standards but it’s essentially a requirement to be at least a little fucking stupid in order to support right-wing policies.
Also, if you go off about how having a university degree and/or having specialized knowledge in one or a couple things is equal to general intelligence and the kind which enables solid critical thinking skills then I have bad news about which side you may likely fall on. I know many people good at their little tasks who are ultimately not people I fully trust to make good decisions on their own.
