Working-class people, for example, or people less educated are somehow massively manipulable.
[music]
In the grip of totally ridiculous forces. Do you really think middle-class educated people aren't in the grip [music] of ludicrous social conventions and constraints? I'd say they're more so.
You get independent opinion from working-class people, and you get it from aristocrats [music] who don't give a. I think the upper middle class in the UK is reputationally paranoid, is incapable of expressing opinions that might get them disinvited [music] from dinner parties.
Middle-class people are incapable of independent thought because they're so reputationally paranoid and so fragile in [music] terms of their careers. It's what I call mental nudism. How many people do you think would be naturists if there were no social constraint [music] on the behavior at the beach? Quite a lot of people, right? The reason we don't is that is not because we wouldn't enjoy it. It's because [music] of the social constraints on the behavior or the associations.
