Why is there so much anti-intellectualism in America?
Discuss.
Because it's fun. Intellectuals are verbose, exotic, wimpy, and often lack social skills. Easy targets, especially in a nation founded upon a violent and illegal insurrection.And oddly the violent and illegal insurrection was headed by many who could have been considered the intellectuals of their day. Such bitter irony.
That might be because only the verbose, exotic, and wimpy who often lack social skills are the only ones willing to talk to an old man who rambles on and on.
