This is the epiphany that radicalized me. It wasn't that the ruling class didn't care for the rest of us or that they controlled every facet of our lives, since most people deep down know that. It was how maliciously petty, stupid and arrogant they are in the long-term. They are smart enough to exert control via manufactured consent but not smart enough to ensure self-preservation and stability for the future.
I think he means something else, it is not that person x is stupid, but the entire ruling class many of them believe the bullshit from their own mouths.
