Hear hear, @LetsRoc !!! 💯

So you are part of those? Why do you criticize it then?

I've been an anti-war activist since the 1980s, @AdeptVeritatis . I've spent most of my life criticizing the US.

Trump saying, Iran needs regime change, is the same as you saying, US needs regime change.

(I know, there are A LOT of differences.)

But if _we_ cannot break that cycle, how do we want to tell others how to break the cycle?

The disruptive regime change itself is wrong. The whole idea. Even for us.

I fall for it again and again.
Russia? Regime change!
US? Regime change!

How can _we_ break that cycle?

The term "intelligentsia" emerged in my head yesterday. I read the wiki page and 🤯 it explains a lot.

Especially revealing were the different views about the intelligentsia at different times from different people.

The "See also" section directly answered my next question:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-intellectualism

And again 🤯. It is not only about 3rd Reich, Russia and China. The section about the US is huuuge!

That is one of our problems.

@AdeptVeritatis Anti-intellectualism describes MAGA to a "T"!
