oh wow this isn't antiintellectualism in the slightest. I'm sure joking toleration of this sort of attitude will be a great thing for the left

psst, antiintellectualism, antidemocracy, maximizing profits/personal wealth by breaking the state: this is fascism
"We need intellectualism because we need liberal democracy. And that is precisely why these guys—they’re all guys—don’t like it."
I recently re-read Richard Hofstadter’s Anti-Intellectualism in American Life and now every time a Silicon Valley billionaire opens his mouth, I think about it. So I wrote about it for The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Jon Favreau leans hard into anti-intellectualism (among other things) as he freaks out about Darializa Avila Chevalier.

The thing is, I really do respect this argument and I think that nothing is /lost/ from trying to use simpler language, but it also strikes me that the most dangerous antiintellectualism (eg. "I do my own research" on vaccines) takes place in fields that are /impossible/ to make simple.
The failure of academia to explain things in layperson terms (up until some efforts recently) is one of the reasons for anti-intellectualism.
When you make science inaccessible, people will opt for those who sell easier solutions.

Antiintellectualism at its finest. "I don't science because I prefer not to think, and people who do are a cult". The celebration of stupidity wouldn't be so worrisome if we weren't a nuclear power.

right now, it is literally the most important it has ever been to understand the intellectual histories of zionism and anti-zionism. and this bullshit scapegoating the admin is doing is making that harder.
this isn’t zionism either, it’s christofascist antiintellectualism

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.
A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Adam Bandt had started to cut through. 'Google it mate' was a moment of connection that they need more of. They have a transparency/hypocrisy problem, and Australia has an antiintellectualism problem, but the ALP and the media are actively, consistently the enemy of any environmental parties.

I am so tired of that face and chaos and lawlessness and greed and corruption and impunity and meanness and cruelty and ignorance and self-serving and indecency and indiscipline and noise and antiintellectualism. How to get through 4 years?

I think they will find that modeling the culture of the party's foundational think tank after the massively insecure posturing and antiintellectualism of the wannabe tyrant heading said party isn't going to play out they way they think.
