    It’s really strange when people hold up these institutions as models of meritocracy, education, etc. when they’re just strongholds of privilege, indoctrination, etc.

    I graduated from some of these fancy schools (largely due to my own scant privilege). It’s very obvious how many of us in many ways are mid at best. It’s extra disturbing when you realize they’re being held up as the “best and brightest” and put in positions of violent control (eg. state, capital…).
