> Your claim that “wealthy people are more intelligent” is so incredibly problematic on so many levels

If you want people to listen to you then don't advertise your biases like this. Call it "wrong" instead of "problematic", calling it "problematic" shows you don't want to see that result and not just that you think its wrong.



No, I used it as a euphemism for “fascist”, which is a somewhat stronger descriptor than simply “wrong”.

The notion that the deeply oppressive status quo is somehow fair and just is one of the worst post-hoc rationalizations that purportedly smart people can fall into. Open your eyes.
