That’s the thing with fascists, they don’t care that their policies will ultimately hinder the country.

They only care that right now they need a group of undereducated, newly minted voters that they can manipulate into voting for them.

If this kills off a vital industry in 10 or 20 years, it won’t matter because they got what they wanted.

It’s the same thing the nazis did with “Jewish physics” that made them so far behind on the atom bomb that the Americans where able to catch up despite Germany having a 2 year head start on the research.

Or how Pol Pot arrested and murdered anyone who was vaguely academic, to the point that wearing glasses could get you arrested.

Dictators and fascists fear educated citizens.
