It is no secret that the Left are big supporters of a politically correct culture. They see no issue with constantly stifling the free speech of anyone who disagrees with the politically correct narrative of the mainstream. They regularly clamp down on your free speech in the name of protecting the sensibilities of all those who happen to disagree. This policy has become so widespread on college campuses throughout the nation that it goes beyond merely condemning what people happen to say or feel, to physically placing the potential "victims" of your speech into so-called "safe spaces" in order to shield them from the dark and scary world of differing opinions.
Now we have a situation where students not only graduate with mounting debt and no discernible job skills, but also a juvenile fear of a different worldview being expressed to them. These are the future leaders of our country and it perfectly illustrates the madness of the modern regressive left.
Now, despite all this lofty rhetoric of protecting people's feelings and sensibilities, the left has not actually completely given up on degrading or insulting language. They only require their ideological opponents to adhere to these rules, however, they themselves do not apply. Thus, if they want to insult you or force their own ridiculous opinions down your throat, you must oblige them.
One of the left's favorite tactics is calling their opponents "uneducated."
The term perfectly encapsulates the idea that those who are "uneducated" are in fact "stupid" or "dumb" without actually saying that. It is a brilliantly smug and indirect tactic to demean one's intelligence, and consequently, whatever opinion their opposition happens to hold.

"Uneducated" is generally used to mean someone without a college education. Or, in more precise terms, someone without a college indoctrination.
For the vast majority of people who ended up not attending college, they most likely opted instead to join this great big place known as "the real world."
Many, especially on the left, might be wondering what this grand institution is like and what standardized test scores you need to get in.
Well, in short, you do not need to pass a test for entry, and it isn't a formalized institution that exists in its own ivory tower bubble.
No, in the real world you work at things called "jobs", have things called "responsibilities", and engage in "logical and consequential decision making" on a daily basis.
This may sound terribly frightening to the average grad student in a women's studies program, but fear not, it really is a beautiful thing.
You see, in "the real world" you do not have to pay a tuition to work and learn valuable job skills - in fact, quite the opposite - you are the one who gets paid.
This may sound like something too good to be true. It may sound like a scam, but trust me, it is a real thing and it has a few millennia of history to prove it.
The left wants to keep up the great lie that you need a college education to not only be happy and successful, but as a prerequisite for holding any sort of an opinion. They mock the idea of an autodidact and any form of self-education. In their minds, "real" knowledge can only be spoon-fed to you within the great halls of an institution.
They know full well that modern university campuses have devolved into nothing more than playgrounds of postmodernism nonsense, Marxian dialectics, and every disgusting form of radicalism known to man.
So the longer you are "institutionalized" going from one useless degree to another, the further removed you are from reality, and the more susceptible you become to the narrative of the Left.
They are ensuring that future generations will be nothing more than permanent student rioters, never having nor wanting a job, expecting everything to be handed to them, and rejecting open and civil discourse in favor of chanting slogans while marching down the street and destroying private property.
This is why the left absolutely loathes the individualistic spirit of the common working man. This blue collar hero either did not go to college or only attended very briefly. He most likely has been working from an early age and, through that, has learned the value of an honest day's work. He does not read their stuffy publications or watch their talk shows, he doesn't attend their phony theatrical productions or visit their taxpayer-funded art galleries. He works hard, enjoys a good beer, and generally wants to be left the hell alone.
This is the man who elected Trump and this is the man who is tearing to pieces the worldview of the Left.
Thus they will do whatever they can to silence this man and denigrate his views. He will be labeled as racist, bigoted, and of course, uneducated. They did this after Trump's win, they did this after Brexit, and they will do it again until they have gasped their last breath of relevancy before they are finally discredited for good.
I can dream, can't I?
Noble blue collar workers become ignorant uneducated deplorables when they no longer vote for Democrats.
It’s not hard to see how this works.
The most ridiculous part is that they call Trump supporters “uneducated” while their own most reliable base is semi-literate, unemployable ghetto folk.
Un-edumacated??
Gee—you say it like that’s a BAD THING.
No matter what educational credentials one has, the left considers you “uneducated” or “ignorant” if you disagree with them.
There’s some of that on the right, as well. For example, the other day, a poster on a devotional thread sneered at a caricature of Christianity - “the son of God riding on a camel” - because “I have a brain.”
Unindoctrinated is a the appropriate word.
I was always taught the proper insult is ill educated. Kind of like saying unorganized is incorrect and disorganized is correct.

The Leftist neanderthals care about nothing as much as appearances, and they would rather die than be considered unsophisticated by their fellow Leftists unsophisticates.
I have dealt with--and so have you--many ignorant, uneducated, pretentious, stupid, unsophisticated Leftist slobs who mistook decadence for sophistication and emetically congratulated themselves endlessly.
This is why you always hear terms like "whites with a high school education or less" in media discussions about voter demographic groups, but you almost NEVER (if ever) hear education references to racial/ethnic minority groups.
I would like to point out that the “EDUCATED” class exists only because of the “UNEDUCATED” world. By that I mean their very lives depend on the ABILIty of the so-called “Know Nothings”.
When the power is out and the temp is below ZERO, it is only the skill and courage of a degree lacking lineman who will restore the electricity that warms you, cooks your food, and contacts you with the outside world.
It is the “uneducated” mechanic who tweaks the final adjustment on the jet engine and whose skill allows you to survive that flight to (wherever).
The World of Knowledge is able to exist ONLY because of the hard work and ABILITY of the people they look down on.
Liberals calling others uneducated is pure projection. Liberalism is a mental disease.
JoMa
They mean “unindoctrinated”. But they haven’t redefined that word yet (like they have with racism, sexism, etc) so it isn’t acceptable to use it.
They claim schools are for education and those who didn’t “learn” what we were supposed to are “uneducated” even if we finished a high level of “reading, writing, and arithmetic” and what used to be considered a high level in “civics, government, history, literature, etc”.
Somehow, being labeled “uneducated” by the DELUSIONAL, strikes me as funnier than hell......
It burns them up that an “uneducated” vote counts as much as their “educated” vote.
Dennis Prager says this every day, that being college educated for most young people means, apart from a few majors, the exact opposite of what it used to mean: intelligent independent thinkers. Now it means indoctrinated social justice warrior leftists.
When are parents going to stop paying their life savings to have this done to perfectly good children?
