In a world with stupid AGI and unmanned drones, the keyboard may be mightier than the sword (or gun etc.)

Unironically yes. They were promised a seat in the ruling class. All they got was crippling debt. That’s how you incubate dissidents.

Where was this promise given? I am not aware of such a promise. :-(

Addendum: I am really surprises that you claim such a promise existed, since a seat in the ruling class requires a very different training and different qualifications (even completely ignoring "soft entry barriers" like habits).
