      No. But combining this and the recent Economist polls, there is a 2/3 chance that everyone with a degree will be considered traitors in a few months.

      For context, Stalin killed everyone in Poland with a college degree.

      Pol Pot killed everyone with glasses because they were probably educated.

      These things happened within living memory.

        Hitler also had a 100 000 polish intelligentsia murdered as preparation for German colonization of German controlled Poland.

        Authoritarians seem to believe that most people are sheep and that if you want to control those sheep, you not only have to kill the current shepherd, you also have to kill all potential future shepherds.
