Fascists have intellectuals. They may be aesthetically anti-intellectual but they have political theorists, writers, journalists, propagandists, etc.
Edit: also that liberal intellectuals are also pieces of shit and not far from fascists which often prompts our catch phrase “scratch a liberal…” This is actually my main point, my apologies for getting sidetracked, that liberals treat their intellectuals as virtuous yet they are also often horrible people.
Yes, but even intellectuals in the 1940’s could tell you that race science was absolute bunk, and that German people had no relation to the Persian Aryans. Those intellectuals were a nuisance.
My point is being an intellectual alone doesn’t make you noble… Academia produces some grotesque monsters (liberal ones and fascist ones).
I will give you a concrete example of what I mean: Samantha Power. Not someone who is a race scientist (at least not explicitly). She is a liberal intellectual who promotes imperialist and fascist policies using liberal virtues, i.e. right to protect as a defense.
I hope I am not being unnecessarily combative. My point is liberals won’t consider intellectuals who are actually left. They just mean their intellectuals (liberal interventionists and economists, etc). Just like they will defend their journalists, not assange.
