You have to betray yourself to become a top lawyer or economist.
Sadly, I've often seen that kind of mentality in Eastern Europe - the whole "everyone successful is some kind of swindler" deal. Not that it's entirely untrue, but it does tend to sound like an excuse, particularly from the crowd that - as you yourself have said - holds most laws in abject contempt. So it's less moral objection and more petty thieves complaining about the not-so-petty thieves.
The same goes for the STEM fields - Asians may not be the most imaginative bunch, but they at least know to value technical education, particularly compared to the omnipresent image of the lame nerd in western pop-culture. Ditto Jews in economics and the humanities - the pencil-neck paper pusher is an unflattering cultural image, but I suspect that's the whole point - white Americans allowed themselves to believe it, and to avoid the respective professions... until it was too late.
Look at it this way - whenever someone complains that black people are institutionally oppressed with regard to jobs and education, one go-to response is that black culture simply doesn't regard education and hard work as values, compared to the idealized image of the petty thug in overpriced fake gold chains. Respectively, the same can be said of how white American culture nowadays idolizes ultra-macho gun-wielding rednecks - which can be readily observed even here with all the "sundae gundae" and "look at my gas station sticker" posts. Or, on the other side of the world, of the Russian idolization of oligarchs and the "gopnik" culture adopted by lower class teens. Overall, if white people have been fed a poison pill, it was a pill they still took on their own.
"everyone successful is some kind of swindler" deal.
That was not the case even few decades ago. Jobs and Wozniak become successful really creating something useful. Jobs later become one of that swindlers, and even contrived to betray Wozniak, but that was already after they become successful. That thing completely eliminated today. It could be another rabbit hole, but it is really nearly impossible to become successful nowdays. You could earn for living that way, even get some decent money selling your business to some corporation, but you will not be allowed to become something like Apple. As soon as you will rise to some level, you will be given a proposal you could not decline or will have to swindle like others.

True, but that pop-culture is made by whom?

So the culture is the key.
Russian idolization of oligarchs and the "gopnik" culture adopted by lower class teens.
It is a cultural, yes. We still have a lot of that kind shit on TV as series and movies.
Overall, if white people have been fed a poison pill, it was a pill they still took on their own.
Yes, that is the point. And if you try to take away that poison, they resist. IDK if there is a way out from that pit.
Question for the ages. In recent history, the most notable cases of culturally dead-end nations turning around, are in Asia - with Japan, China and India leading the charge, and Turkey and now Iran following suit. I mean, before the US-led post-WWII reformations, the Japanese workforce had a reputation for laziness and poor quality - and now look at them go. The same is apparently happening right now in China, with regard to their manufactured goods. And of course, there's the phenomenon of how every other tech tutorial online is made by an Indian. So at least we know the turnaround is possible in theory. The next step would be to see what cultural and socio-economic cornerstones exist in these countries, that can be emulated elsewhere.
If only it is not one a shot thing. Say, you could become great if you initially was lazy, but something forced you to take yourself in hands, but is it possible when you already was great in something, but somehow lost that ablity.
Also there is that thing with reward for your labour. If you work hard all the time and as soon as you get a decent reward that reward is depreciated, you inevitably lose the motivation to repeat that senseless thing again. Same is with civilisation - when it work hard for a century and in the end rewarded with "140 characters in twitter instead of flying cars" and just another stupid generation of smartphones instead of personal termonuclear reactors and spending vacations cruising over Solar system planets, despite all techonlogy necessary is created, when somebody else still decide that you will get smartphone instead of flying cars, then there is no much reason to continue. What is the point to invent and develop, if somebody else eventually will not allow you to use that as you want, will license, limit or even prohibit nearly everything you do?
The media that pushes the narratives you're complaining about, attacking intelligence, is owned and run primarily by Jewish people. Jewish people are also inclined to hire other Jewish people, even if they don't deserve the job. Just look at Hollywood, one of the largest Jewish run industries/cities on the planet, outside of media and porn, and which was founded by Jews (even Wikipedia admits this). On average, it seems that Jews are antithetical to merit, in both philosophical belief and practice.
Merit is a core foundational philosophical requirement for civilization to exist and be successful and stable. White people are highly likely to believe in and practice merit. Underlying merit, or companion to it, is fairness. White people, from everything I've experienced and read, are the most likely to believe and practice fairness. It's one of the main reasons white people are able to build such higher functioning societies, and why we're generally fine with admitting non-whites into our countries so long as they follow the rules. Another thing I've noticed is that White people also have higher levels of empathy, meaning we can build stronger communal bonds, which enables our communities to grow larger and more successful. This, in the late stages, becomes a detriment, because we can become too successful, putting up too many barriers between ourselves and nature, resting on our laurels and becoming too comfortable, not maintaining the traditions and lessons we learned while we lived harsher lives closer to nature, which enabled our success in the first place, resulting in a degradation of society, which also enables parasitical and evil people to use and manipulate us. As we're more inclined to merit and fairness, and the parasites aren't, they are free to break the rules, and corrupt and takeover our institutions, while we're still trying to play by the rules. This is exactly what's happening in the Western world right now.
You lambaste white people in right leaning spheres for pushing machismo, but don't understand why. Masculinity is a necessary trait for strong men, whom are necessary for strong society. Our society is crumbling in part because our men are being intentionally weakened, by our loss of traditions, by our laws, by our diet, by intentional overuse of plastics (that act like estrogen in the body), and by porn (which is pushed primarily by Jews). The machismo you lambaste is an outward show of dominance and power, an expression of masculinity and testosterone itself, similar to how males of other species signal their power to those around them. However, you've made the logically fallacious argument that because we do this, that therefore we don't prize intelligence and wisdom.
It's simply not true. You could find cherry picked examples to prove your point, but they're not the average.
You're seeing what you want to, and drawing conclusions based on half truths to fit your own preconceived narrative.
