Hilarious. Knowledge is nothing of the sort. If you don't have the capital to capitalize on that knowledge, you have no power at all in this system.

Typical Rightwing strategy: displace the rage against the rulers onto rage against the eggheads, the snobs, anyone who thinks. Of course, by waging war on the university system, they're slicing into the arteries of the US economy, but their own ideology prevents them from knowing this.
Most Rightwing videogames these days, by the way, conjure up the same old tired paranoid fantasy of a villanous world-government run by vaguely East Asian cyborgs.
