I doubt this has anything to do with it. What is the argument here? They hear this and believe it so they don't think they need school?

I grew up in a white, working class community, and in my experience nobody paid attention to liberals on Twitter calling them privelaged. Certainly not enough to decide not to go to college over it.

It's weirder; the claim is that young white men hear that it's easier for young white men so they give up entirely.

Like the claim that all those people that joined the extreme right wing groups because the "libs said they were Nazis so why not".
