I tweeted this almost a year ago & had since forgotten about it, but is worth retweeting, since it goes to the heart of what is rotten, not just in the state of Denmark, but in ALL states.
It is by demonising, manipulating & exploiting human tribalism that society's elites rule.

Why do the academics we look to as authorities on understanding society, the state & civilisation fail to recognise this?
Academics are privileged clients and employees of the state. That’s why.

Who are these elites?
First & foremost, academics & those who passed through their hands at university & now have high-status & influential positions in society. To name just one of countless examples: #DavidAaronovitch, an eminent journalist who works for @thetimes & #TheBBC.

They are nearly ALL individuals with high IQ & a good education, having gone to the best universities, & are usually very articulate. Former PM #TonyBlair is another prime example.

Just as the medieval clergy were. An ideology which just happens to serve them very well.
What's bad is the SYSTEM, which I refer to as the Matrix of state (BigBro) & capital, on which we are ALL dependent & thus enslaved to - rich & poor, Black & White high & low IQ alike.
