One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    tbf lemmy.ml is mostly neolib in practice.

    Wait, but that's a hexbear user? What?

      Nah it's a bit. No one actually unironically identifies as anti-intellectual.

      I'm kinda of a Diogenes figure. Sometimes you get "behold a man" and sometimes you get a homeless man yelling at passerbys.

          No. You're just being obnoxiously smug while expecting people to praise you as some sort of eccentric philosopher.

          Literally describing myself as a homeless man and anti-intellectual. No one is taking it seriously but you man.
