Conservatives and anti-intellectualism

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Anyone else not surprised that almost every totalitarian movement of the 20th century was backed by a wave of nativism and anti-intellectualism? The Khmer Rouge actually shot people for wearing glasses.

In a simialar way, our modern conservatives act. They oppose any effort to think of a situation in depth. Conservative commentors actually cut peoples mics and throw them off set because intellectual arguments are too complex for them to handle, and justify this with some sort of non-sensical ad hominem attack. It's a dangerous age whenever someone can be attacked simply for knowing more than someone else.

It just goes to show you who the modern descendants of such movements are.

Except international communism.

Selling out americans for profit is not deep, it's being an asshole.

Why does free trade suddenly become communism because it extends across a sand in the line?

It doesn't become communism. It's just a disservice to americans to outsource their jobs based on misguided notions of "the inevitable path of humanity".

I had a friend from China, he told me that he would get beat and taken to jail were he seen by the wrong people waring glasses or reading a book. He had an advanced degree in engeneering but was sent to work as a farm hand.

There does appear a relationship to anti-intellectualism and the conservative movement.

It's spread all over the world stage today.
