“We’re creating a population of people who are infantile and idiotic, and yet we call ourselves a democracy. You only have to study democracy 10 minutes and you read John Stewart Mill to understand that the precondition for democracy is a sophisticated and educated citizenry. If you have ‘one person, one vote’ but no educated citizenry, then you have a mob — a mob being led by various icons and images manipulated by fascists”
