RE: The Cult of Anti-Intellectualism

in #cult7 years ago

I agree, there is a subset of people who cannot handle any type of confrontation/differing opinion/being required to defend their position. Its kind of scary who they gang up on people just because they do not agree. Never thought America would come to that.

Sort:  

I've never been to the Americas, but I have always imagined the USA to be a big promoter and exporter of the cult of anti-intellectualism. For example, when United States of Americans react to words like "communist" without even knowing what it means.
I think the USA is just peaking with anti-intellectualism at the moment, but it has always been there.

I live in the Americas and there seems to be a trend where people just believe what they are told so they come off informed and stay in the popular opinion. Its sad really..
