Fascism combats ... not intelligence, but intellectualism... which is... a sickness of the intellect... not a consequence of its abuse, because the intellect cannot be used too much... it derives from the false belief that one can segregate oneself from life.

Most of the liberal faggots I know read like one book in highschool. They are all fucking dumb as hell and get news from facebook.
I mean, it also seems that most that voted to stay were in London with the most immigration, and Scotland, where immigration doesn't affect them as immediately. I would love to see where you go those numbers. Weird how it is exactly 75% wow, sounds almost made up.

It is not in the interests of democratic powers to have a well-educted populace. It makes it that much harder to acquire and maintain power if the people are well-informed and less likely to leap to emotion and demagoguery as the basis for their choices.
Successive governments will, over time, erode the education systems they are tasked with managing.
It's inevitable.

It's actually not. Having a degree in gender studies or sociology do not automatically make you intellectual anymore.
Nor does having a degree in business (where they learn about how to make quick profit).
At least not on the matter of how the world should proceed.
"There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.” - George Orwell
"intellect is not wisdom" - Black Economics guy
Vast majority of intellectuals supported communism, socialism and marxist ideas in general, look where that went.
Intellectuals are ideas machines - thats all they are. They have very little practical experience of reality
Thats why teachers are often lefties - and their students are too until they have been working for a few years.

Are you fucking serious?
Studying gender issues, feminism, muslims being peaceful, blacks and women creating all civilisations, and 7 gorillion genders, is not intellectualism.
It's literally 1984 styled subjects that create, change, mind poison, scrap, and continue with more radical lies.
Unless people are going to university to study to be the likes of a lawyer, doctor, engineer or scientist etc, then they're not a ''student'', but rather someone doing an autistic hobby that's pointless, boring and gets you nowhere in life.
Meanwhile, there are qualified electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and self made businessmen who didn't go to any university, but are a lote more intelligent and contribute a thousand times more to society than some young bitch/nu-male who's unemployed, sits in a flatmates house all day eating shit food and writing on feminist blogs.

I would bet that the people without degrees are making up way more of the workforce than the people with.
When I was in university, I had a constant stream of Leftist bullshit pushed on me.
Sometimes it was the teachers, some times it was posters, sometimes it was classes. It didn't stop. Not for the whole four years I was there.
I saw normal people slowly turn into full on SJW types.

These people have an emotional opinion, which is:
>The right wing can only be fascist, the left wing is the only moral choice
ignoring the fact that they are using this as an excuse to absolve themselves from behaving like the 'right wing' football hooligans they claim to despise.
>We are always right, you are always wrong
and they call the right wing the nazis? I simply dont get it, they did the same things you are doing, and working against the same democratic institutions they were working against:
>Refusing to give the vote to anyone they consider undesirable or have a viewpoint hostile to theirs
>Calling for the overturn of democratic decisions to suit certain members of society
>Allowing 16 year olds to vote in the anchluss

These kids are literally dumber than their geriatric predeccessors.
And maybe if these "intellectuals" actually voted in large numbers they would get the result they wanted, but they didn't.
And the reason for that is because they are degenerates, apathetic, whiny degenerates and their political views are also degenerate.
They're right, they don't deserve the result they got, they deserve all the USSR-style hell on earth that all of their stupid trendy asses advocate. Their just lucky.

reminder that so far "expert" polling agencies have been wrong resulting in "expert" investors to dump a large amount of money assuming that britain would remain in the eu thus causing the pound to tank more so than the actual result of the referendum itself
also reminder that a degree in women's studies and communications at best puts you on equal footing with everyone else in the country in terms of ability to make good decisions (although these people spent >40k on a useless degree so probably not)
intellectualism is an ideology, it's associating yourself with the right brands, the right websites, the right news sources etc
what we describe as "intellectualism" objectively has nothing to do with actually being intelligent, it's a prepackaged set of easy to hold ideas that serve the function of making you feel superior to others

Well it's democracy. Not leftist utopia that some want it to be. So you either get leftist utopia with only highly educated middle or upper-middle class people that are not taking religion too seriously. So their cultural inheritance wouldn't matter that much. You just have to fucking cull over 80% of population that are running the country. Because working class has monocultural communities that usually enforce unity and keeps the overall peace better that way. Then the idealist cunts say they have to live with people that shit on pretty much every value they have. In this case the people are less educated. That is also leftists fault for making media such a bullshit machine that you can't trust anything.
>tfw you created the education system
>tfw you tried to make them hate themselves for being born without silver spoon up their ass

Naturally, immigration makes your gdp go up because young unskilled workers pay taxes.
It also lowers costs of luxuries because businesses can charge less thanks to immigrants lower wages.
However, when gdp goes up, that doesn't mean it comes up for everyone. Immigration is good for rich people to hire unskilled workers at wages and conditions most most people wouldn't normally accept. The increased competition for jobs means that wages go down for unskilled (no college degree) workers.
So your wealthy college graduate sees no problem with immigration because his costs will go down and his retirement benefits well go up.
Your poor hard working individual see a problem because his jobs will disappear and his wages will go down and he c will have less negotiating power with his employer because he is replaceable with immigrate labor.
Why do you hate the poor op?

Education is either STEM or some meme sociology bullshit. So its indoctrination, completely irrelevant to the subject at hand or both.
The NEET's usually have a better understanding of what is going on then the career workers. The rest just listens to their (((professors))) or read half an hour of (((mainstream))) media per day and then they spend the rest of the day working, browsing approved content on their facebook, watching some stupid tv show etc. You basically can't have high paying career, a family, a active social life and stay updated all at the same time. Unless your career revolves around working in the media (if its MSM you can't write about what you know) or trading you can basically give up on trying to understand things.
The amount of bullshit that my ''highly educated'' and high earning ''friends'' spout is staggering.

The funny thing is, this is starting to happen with degree holders too. China and india are churning out degree holders at an impressive rate. This is part of the reason as to why the middle classes are dissapearing.

Refusal to discuss something on the grounds that it offends is refusal of objectivity. It inherently opposes it by being subjected to the persons emotions and the topic dropped. This is the most (the refusal of objectivity for relativity) anti-intellectual mindset that has swept through Academia and poisoned the intelligentsia. This is aided by the focus on the degree rather than the education. The finish as opposed to the journey, which is inherently unending.
That is to say; Self-appointed "intellectuals" have forgotten that in education, instruction is not intelligence. It is instruction.
If the student cannot apply this instruction outside of the ways they have been instructed to than education has failed.

Oh yeah. All those people with their exceptionally specific degrees (most of which won't even glance upon the notion of economics or politics) voted remain. Meanwhile, the elderly who lived in England before the vote to join the EU, and then during the entire duration of the EU, now vote to leave because they see how it has changed.
Education =/= Intelligence.
Not surprisingly, the elderly are voting in your best interests. Because millennials are their grandchildren, and they care about their grandchildren.

Having a college degree does not make you an intellectual.
Intelligence is a result of strong memory retention, and, with minor variation like degree choice and time spent at college, most college graduates forget almost all of the information they learned in college, something like 90% after the first two years according to a study published by the University Medical Center in Utrecht. This is true for almost all associate's degree holders, most bachelor degrees, a large chunk of master's and a significant part of doctorates.
People who are successful at finding a job in their field rely on a very minor amount of information they learned in college, especially if they are 2-year or 4-year degree holders. According to a survey conducted by Dr. Patricia Breivik, published in Change Magazine, approximately 74% of bachelor degree holders in their respective fields responded negatively to the question of "Do you use most of the knowledge you gained from college in your job or profession?"
What is the cause? Before the late 20th and early 21st century, participation in college was limited to a select few intellectuals. Before the advent of Google and television, research and knowledge was conducted at libraries and by reading books, and neurological studies show that touch and smell (of books) are the most significant way to retain memory long-term, due to the triggering of dopamine.
My master's thesis at the University of Illinois-Chicago was on this very subject. Sorry for the long post.

Except for the fact that he was a syphilitic moron who created his whole theory based on the mistaken idea that England ever had a peasantry.

Of course it's real. Big business has been attacking education for decades, and they're winning. Just look at America. The candidates of the Republican Party uniformly deny climate change as though it's some liberal conspiracy, despite the fact that the only scientists who claim to be skeptical of it work for think tanks which are effectively propaganda machines. The scientific community that hasn't sold out, the majority, right-wingers and left-wingers alike, are as close to certain as can be about climate change -- it's real -- and yet deniers in the US choose to believe bloggers and media personalities who only cite shills as their evidence against climate change. If you haven't dedicated your life to studying the climate and environment, don't you think it's a better idea you put your trust in those who have, rather than in "scholars" who work at think tanks funded by the Koch brothers (who stand to lose a lot of money if serious measures are taken to slow down climate change)?

As you touch your breasts, imagine or visualize your fingertips emitting healing pink sparkles that embrace and nourish your breasts.Let your fingerpads sink deeply into your breasts. Allow any held distress to be soothed by the balm of the infused herbal oil/ointment. Let overactive energy be calmed by the rhythm of your fingers circling, circling, spiraling, spiraling.
Apply more oil or ointment with your fingerpads, making large gliding circles from midchest to under your breast, up toward the armpit and over and around, again, and again, with a steady rhythm.
When you’re done massaging your breast, close your eyes and relax. Hum. Call to your Wise Healer Within as you hum.
Massage your other breast, starting from the beginning: Put your hands over your heart. Hum. Cup your breasts. Hum. (Is there a difference between the breast that has already been massaged and the one that hasn’t yet?) Rub your oily hands briskly together; hold either side of your breast and hum. Extend your thumbs and massage as before, including all of the previous strokes and ending with your eyes closed, relaxing deeply and allowing yourself to contact and listen to your Wise Healer Within.
Afterwards . . .After your breast self massage, take a moment to record your experience. This will help you learn more quickly what’s normal for you. You can draw a map of your breasts to help you remember what you’ve felt. Try using colors. Write down any messages offered to you by your breasts or your Wise Healer Within. If you like, make up a little song to hum during your massage. The keynote in breast self-massage is pleasure.

Doesnt matter what very particular version they had in mind. The result is always the same.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb has been talking about this quite a bit, it's worth checking his Facebook/Twitter pages to see his arguments. Basically he's just saying that the 'intellectual elite' are funded by the global/political elite and used as a tool by the global/political elite to propagate their policies. He's probably the most well-known academic I'm aware of who publicly supported Brexit, but unfortunately I do also think he's a bit of an arrogant contrarian who likes to take oppositional stances purely for the sake of it, so I don't know how correct he is. Launched some pretty scathing attacks on the 'intellectual yet idiot' groups which are pretty spot-on though.

the leave voters are intellectually superior to the indoctrinated Marxist bootlickers... the regressive left is anti-intellectual
I've never been one to agree with the liberal straw man that only uneducated and/or stupid people are conservative or lean right or whatever.
Being brainwashed into believing SJW bullshit =/= receiving an education. Further, you can have a "formal" education, degree included and still be a retard. Just look at your average college student these days.
The liberal flow of attacking people or a belief structure has been the same for my entire 30 years on this planet: Appeal to emotion, and if that doesn't work then insult the opposition's intelligence, which is a bit ironic given that those who have the most intellect are able to divorce important things and the harsh realities of existence from their personal feelings.
I don't have a formal college education. I chose by choice not to go, and I already can comfortably say that I have a better understanding of every relevant thing there is than anybody that's in my family, or circle of friends and acquaintances.
And even though I'm an Americant, I'd have happily voted to leave the EU if I lived in the UK, knowing the inherent risks but more because of the higher ceiling and prospects of a better future than staying in the EU offers.
Taking a calculated risk =/= not understanding the significance of a vote like this. Liberals need to just get over themselves. It's okay to lose a vote once in a while, you can't win 100% of the time. These fuckers win so much, and on the rare occasion that they lose they act as though the world is ending.
It's absurd.
