Intellectual =/= intelligence.
These faggots know they are weak, so they try to make up for it by being intellectual. However, because many are actual fucking morons, they fall hook-line-sinker for socialism.
There are plenty of intelligent people who will never fall for socialism. However, since the morons invaded and took over intellectualism (as a social class), the intelligent stay away from it.

Intelligence does not translate to knowledge. I know many people who fall into the genius category and I can assure you they are some of the dumbest, smartest people you will ever meet. Intelligence is not immune to emotion. Intellectuals are simply better at pretending they are immune and therefore rest above. In academic circles they have formalized the abstraction of pretending they are robots up high, led only by empirical facts, and therefore immune to all forms of manipulation, emotional need, and general bullshit which only effects people like "you."
Additionally, socialists and communists have infiltrated academia since the late 1800s in the US. It means those who rise to the top and receive broad attention are statistically more likely to have been crafted in the shop of socialist/communist doctrine. They are inherently biased and their positions are inherently couched as such. Yet they are taught to hide their bias.
The result are pseudo-intellectuals who have themselves been brainwashed into socialism/communism and held high by their other brainwashed peers. Who then go on to publish papers and write books. Who then circle jerk to cite each other. Whereby others hold high by the logical fallacy of plea to authority.
The result is a bunch of idiots lead astray by other idiots who then cite these idiots to reassure themselves that none of them are idiots. Who then use their own bias to tell everyone else who disagrees that those people are idiots. AKA - a cluster fuck of pseudo-intellectualism - which usually leans heavily left.

Sounds like any person that uses the term normie. Thanks for the ammo.

I think it's the difference between intelligent and wisdom.
Intellects have a lot of knowledge, they can quote nonsense all day and rattle off an 80 second long coffee order but if you placed them in the streets of Chicago, they'd get raped by 10 niggers in an hour.
Wise men know not to go to the dark streets of Chicago.

Pride. They think they are smarter than anyone who has ever tried it before, and therefore they will be able to get it right when they try it. Simple as that.

Real socialism was tried in Sweden and it didn't work out according to their beloved Nordic model they promote for other countries. Sweden is always the end result of socialism when the left assumes full power.

I use the word "religion" carefully. Because Islam is a religion, and I don't think that would be helpful for any one to have.
I use "faith"

Because anyone who self-identifies as an intellectual is a giant faggot, and there's a massive overlap between socialists and giant faggots.
