Even beyond the malady of feeling liberated by others struggling, all you’ve done is express poisonous anti-intellectualism.

Anti-intellectualism is not worse than being against the actual working class (those stupid rednecks who don't even know what is best for them).
That’s pure straw man. There isn’t anyone against the working class in this thread, and there is anti-intellectualism in this thread. I don’t doubt there are some academics who are jerks, but you’re incorrectly assuming something about all academics (not to mention all working class) that simply isn’t true.
