Language as a Means of Subjugation

It seems to me that the individuals who have the most reason to complain in society are often the less educated. Poor education, and thus poor grammar is a means of subjugating these people.

Here on the south side of Chicago, the victims of the worst of America's domestic atrocities rarely posess perfect grammar. In fact, the language they speak often could barely be considered English, and their concerns can are easily ignored by those in power, and by society in general.

Pretty much all positions of power are dominated by the "educated". Most government officials and heads of corporations come from a wealthy elite class. They are born rich, they attend exclusive schools like Harvard or Yale, which they are accepted to based entirely on who they and their parents are, rather than what they have achieved. They think they are naturally superior to those who, unlike them, have not been insulated from the harsh realities of life, and thus grow to believe that they know the needs of the underprivilaged better than they themselves do.

An uneducated electorate is the politicians best friend. Easy to sway with emotional appeals, and their support is a good advertizement for the superior moral character of the candidate, which only enforces the elitism aspect.

In the words of Propagandhi:

"At some turning point in history, some fuck-face recognized that knowledge tends to democratize cultures and societies, so the only thing to do was monopolize and confine it to priests, clerics, and elites, the rest resigned to serve, cuz if the rabble heard the truth, they'd organize against the power, privilage, and wealth, hoarded by the few, for no one else."
