As I get older, I grow increasingly weary of this kind of condescending rhetoric. As an example, where were these educated saviors when there were calls to "defund the police"? Most low-income neighbourhoods want more police presence[1], not less because crime hurts them personally and not just in an abstract way on some spreadsheet.

You can't "save" someone without understanding what their day to day problems are.
