And the ideas of the people at the bottom just happen to be the source of the cake for the ruling class. In order to stabilize the country, the ruling class will spare no effort to strengthen the concepts of the people at the bottom. At this time, the person who wants to explain all this becomes the common enemy of both parties. i thought it was common sense

In a centralized state, touching the ruling class's power is like killing their parents, and changing the ideas of the lower class is like digging their ancestral graves. The ruling class relies on the ideas of the lower class for their power, so they will do whatever it takes to strengthen those ideas. Anyone who tries to explain this becomes an enemy to both parties. This is considered common sense.
