    Another possible interpretation I haven’t seen in the comments: it’s possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it’s normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

      that’s the vibe i got from it:

      A parasitic class that inflicts unlimited harm upon the populace with impunity will further leverage their advantage to indoctrinate their prey and thus reinforce, sustain, and even streamline their predatory system.

      School is a metaphor for the media and messaging that goes out to the public, too, not just literally brick & mortar K-12 education institutions.

      Convincing the underclass that they benefit from the concentration of wealth amongst the elite. The"Circle of Life" is a metaphor for “Trickle-down Economics”.

      Or that’s how I read it.
