I think education is more important than wealth background when it comes to social advancement, which is what makes these elite schools like Eton so significant - when the best education has a price tag, it becomes exclusive to those who can afford it. When it comes to education:
There is a problem besetting the English education system which has been under-reported, under-considered and has been lacking sufficient response from policymakers and educationalists. As a study from the Centre Forum thinktank reported yesterday, white pupils are the worst performing group in our education system.
The hard facts of the educational underachievement of white pupils was highlighted by Dr Paul Cappon, a Canadian academic, who was asked by the Department for Education (DfE) to review the English education system. He presented his findings to the secretary of state for education, Nicky Morgan, and wrote a report.
Dr Cappon noted that whilst the under-achievement of white working-class children is a grave cause for concern, and one which has received significant political and expert consideration, there is a far bigger issue which no one appears to be talking about.
The fact is that educational under-achievement is not limited only to white working-class pupils – it is a problem faced by white pupils across all social classes. This table makes for startling reading:
While the performance of white pupils as a whole is equivalent to that of black pupils, the fact is that white pupils, as a whole, are less disadvantaged than black pupils. Fewer white pupils are eligible for free school meals (FSM) than black pupils (12 per cent of white pupils have FSM compared with 29 per cent of black pupils). The relative economic advantage of white pupils makes their relative educational underperformance even more inexplicable.
Reflecting on the evidence about the underperformance of white pupils as a whole, Dr Cappon notes that: “It is interesting – and telling – in the light of these startling data – that few interveners in education seem aware, or wish to acknowledge, that the issue for indigenous British is not merely that of the working class. An important question, then, is: why do they not know or subconsciously wish not to know?”
The Economic Policy Institute summarised the link between poverty and educational failure: “Lower class families have lower parental literacy levels, poorer health, more racial isolation, less stable housing, more exposure to crime and other stresses, less access to quality early childhood experiences, less access to good after-school programmes (and less ability to afford these even if they did have access), early childbearing…less security that comes from stable employment, more exposure to environmental toxins (eg, lead) that diminish cognitive ability, etc”
This is a very good summary of the multiple effects that poverty has upon children’s life chances – but the factors listed above would apply to children of all ethnic groups living in poverty, so what were the particular causes of white British children’s underperformance?

Which basically sums up in a nutshell Western civilization atm. System is designed to fuck up their own kids, make them useless, then dehumanize them to the point where it's acceptable to hate them for who they are and unironically advocate for their disenfranchisement and replacement - even when mainstream news outlets talk about it, it's only in marxist terms like the working class, when it's something affecting all indigenous Britons. I really don't understand fully yet why foreigners today can integrate into British society better than the British themselves, it's a complicated inheritance of continual fuckups that continues to this day - I want to fix them but I only shitpost because this is more interesting than reading books or watching TV. It could be summed up as our current elites hate the people they're supposed to rule over but it's probably even deeper than that tbh
Now imagine if this is how British elites treat their own constituents' children, how do they see their adult counterparts? Seen this way, the calls to strip votes from the ignorant masses waving their brutish British flags in football games and pubcrawls through the land is not altogether surprising. When we see MPs laugh at white van mans they're not isolated cases, they are inimical to the notion of the nation state, and the fundamental building block of the nation state is a nation's people. Thus who do you have to marginalize to abolish the nation state?
Ayy lmao, of course Rotherham would happen then
