One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.
Fascists and dictators are often supported by intellectuals. Being an intellectual doesn’t mean you’re on the right side of history.
The “intellectuals” supporting Fascism gave us things like eugenics and race theory. 2 completely debunked “sciences”.
Intelligent racists is an oxymoron.
The actual intellectuals just go with the flow during those types of public unrest, since they are smart enough not to oppose the leaders chopping peoples heads off for looking at them funny.
You can claim nuclear warheads were created by intellectuals, but they were used by the military.
