Because the leopards hunger for your face, you dangerous intellectual.

Anti-intellectualism was fine with this well-educated moron - supported by him, even - until it affected him, it would seem.

I struggle to refer to these people as intellectuals considering these people have multiple certificates to show but otherwise they do fuckall with their brain.

Sophomores. Wise fools.

The living demonstration of the difference between intelligence and wisdom.

I've recently seen them referred to as midwits. People just dangerous though to cause severe harm. Personally i think that's giving them too much credit, these days I'm inclined to believe there is no job you couldn't train a monkey to do and these monkeys were just persistent enough to be trained.

Not any job, but yeah, most jobs require persistence more than smarts. Sure, being smart helps, but it's not required at all.

Ah the defining characteristic of the conservative, an absolute vaccuum of empathy
