All jobs that do not require advanced knowledge are being relentlessly commoditised and therefore devalued in financial compensation. The highly-educated and the less-educated not only live in different parts of the country, they also seem to live in totally different cultures. Culture of the less-educated, on the other hand, remains bound to unique traditions to a large extent. The less-educated working-class has been exploited as faithful voting blocs by both the centre-right and centre-left mainstream parties for a long time. The anti-nerds are fighting back, and they are now savvy enough to use their democratic strength as main weapon of war.
