Conservatives assume the lower classes are misfits dragging down society and dirtying up the gene pool. The stupidity of conservatives shows that it is the incompetent power mongers who are the misfits.

The recent, modern society was constructed shortly after WW-II by persons who came out of the equivalence of poverty, which means the depression of the "dirty thirties" and WW-II. They knew a lot of problems needed to be solved and proceeded to solve them.

By the time they got the social structures well developed, incompetent power mongers moved in and took them over. That's what the street demonstrations were about during the 1960s—not the Vietnam War but the "establishment" taking over the social structures. After a couple of years the demonstrations transformed into anti-war demonstrations.

The difference was visible at the universities as two types of professors and scientists: competent ones aligned upon objective realities and a bunch of incompetents producing word salad with no idea what the objective realities were.

The same thing would have been happening in corporations and organizations. Once social structures exist, incompetent power mongers move in and use them as power structures for personal gain at everyone else's expense.

During the 1960s incompetents transformed science into a power mongering fraud. Bureaucrats decided that scientists needed to do their research at a desk instead of in the laboratory by describing everything they planned to do in submitting a grant proposal and doing no more than filling in the blanks with numbers in the laboratory. Anything other than that was supposedly defrauding the public. Of course, the big guns tell the bureaucrats where to get off. Power rules.

The lower classes are aligned upon objective realities by necessity. Power mongers are disconnected from objective reality through stupidity and motives.

The lower classes need to solve problems through whatever means possible or available. That means contact with objective realities. Only the objective realities of the universe define life and solutions to problems.

Steve Jobs could invent the smart phone, because he only had a few months of college, which separated him from the power structures. He was kicked out of the company that he created, until it went bankrupt and let him back in.

That's because power mongers assume power is truth, knowledge and justice. They have to be disconnected from objective reality to draw such stupid conclusions. They assume all that is right including truth, knowledge and justice is that which flows out from persons. The most worthy persons supposedly produce the most truth, knowledge and justice.

The process of using rationality for acquiring, producing and using truth, knowledge and justice is viewed by power mongers as the equivalent of communism—foolishness dragging down society.

Why is the wealth and power combination a measure of worth? Power mongers assume they should be designing society in their own image. That's because they assume they acquire their wealth and power through their superior characteristics. They know thievery and criminality are required to gain and maintain power but assume that knowing such things is what differentiates them from the losers who try to determine and follow correctness.

Here's a quote that shows the thought process of corrupters:

October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush:

The person was saying that when his bunch acquires enough power, they can defy reality in addition to everyone else and that state was some sort of godly superiority.

Being an empire was needed to break into the fantasy world devoid of objective realities. It takes power to overwhelm rational existence.
