Being proud of not knowing things, and having no desire to change that.
Being poor and idolizing the rich.
That’s by design
Bigotry and prejudice. Not necessarily uneducated, but certainly poorly educated.
Coping mechanism for the poor, they can’t admit they’re at the bottom and so it feels good to put other people down for nonsense reasons

People who litter. Throw their rubbish out the window of the car. Or who throw rubbish in public, like into drains or sidewalks.
It’s in the mentality, and I say the lack of education is the reason for it.
It’s sad to see the people of my country do this, and to see it with your own eyes.
Parents feeding their baby cola in bottles and smoking while pregnant are two things that usually cause me to make assumptions
Thinking that someone without a formal education is somehow beneath you.
On the flipside, the belief that someone with a formal education is somehow beneath you or brainwashed for it.
Using terms like ‘u’, ‘ur’, etc when writing. No one charges by the letter, it’s simply lazy.
Doesn’t this depend on the stylistic environment of the text? Personally, I’d consider it alright given that the sender and the receiver are in a casual relationship. It only makes one seem uneducated if they are using it in a more formal, or perhaps a public context.
If I know someone personally and they text me with abbreviations and such like that. I do judge them for it.
People who are proud about their lack of knowledge on a topic as if that somehow means that they were not programmed prior to the encounter.
Cigarettes
Nah, addiction plagues the well and the poorly educated. I was acquainted with a couple of Nobel prize winners who smoked like chimneys.
Being poor or lower middle class and voting for right wing/conservatives. You essentially give away your hard earned money and give it to ultra rich and worsen the quality of your life… usually because the right wing scares people to be afraid of other people and new phenomena.
“People who don’t support my party are stupid”
Is a pretty big “poorly educated” sign.
Being a conservative and accusing every progressive person of being a pedophile.
I see you’ve met my neighbors.
religion and the belief in the supernatural/paranormal. also the belief in conspiracy theories.
conspiracy theories i agree with, but religion? organized religion, definitely. joining a religion with a hierarchy signals that you want someone else to give you all the answers, which is very much a mark of poor education. but religious beliefs are not an automatic marker of poor education, as long as they’re sincerely held, don’t supersede science, and are frequently revisited and revised based on personal experience and knowledge. even basic, broad frameworks like animism or some parts of Buddhism can help you make sense of the world when science can’t help you

Reckless driving, speeding, having a loud car, having a lifted pickup truck.
Associating with arbitrary groups, such as football fans, nationalists, wearing certain clothing brands
Listening to loud music without giving a shit about the neighbours.
