How important is university and/or college?

You can get very educated without academia, and ultimately you'll have to transcend it. However, Leo still went to college if I'm not mistaken, and it is an important stepping stone to intellectual development.

@Basman wait just to clarify i wasnt pointing out their skin color as the issue, but that the lack of education was such a major commonality among a dangerous group of ppl, as common as something basic like skin color

Not race, but class. University is largely an upper-middle class thing, even when it's free.

If we had universal free college, would we even have maga?

Yes. Maga is part of an authoritarian backlash against technocratic centrism, which is a global phenomenon. Like Reform in the UK and AfD in Germany. 

It's class problem. You can't educate away grievances with how society is run.

I think it depends on your personality and goals wether or not university will grow you. It's basically just a more adult school. It's no universal solution to growth. Graduating doesn't make you intelligent or developed.

The main reason to go to university is because it alligns with a specific goal in my opinion.
