You've just repeated a claim I already dismissed, putting words in my mouth that are not even close to what I said. I will not correct you again, have a nice day, illiterate.
Here's what you said
"working class icons are often very susceptible to money and less educated opinions."
Being working class doesn't make you more susceptible to money, that's just not true. I'd say that ,regardless of your intention, by saying this you are implying working class people are greedy by nature.
Having an education also has nothing to do with your class, anybody is capable of undertaking an education. You mentioned rich people can afford to pay for expensive degrees but that implies that an education just is an expensive degree, it's not. A mechanic is well educated, farmers are well educated, labourers are well educated. You just aren't recognising their competencies as an education. You're de-legitimising the intelligence and knowledge base of working class people by saying this.
You've made surface level denials of this but you haven't really engaged with what you said or the argument I'm making, you're just assuming you know better. I'm directly quoting you, not exactly what I'd call "putting words in (your) mouth."
And to top it all off you closed off by calling me illiterate as an insult, which in of itself has its own elitest undertones.
Oh look a wall
