There is no opposite to the brainwashed retarded individuals...
There are also - people with education, also dogs and cats lovers, some of us promised to clean the Ocean...

don't serve any useful purpose.. the article is just a flamebait, same as this topic.
WTF??? speaking like the present here brain-dead regressive pigfuckers (ch) I have to consult retards now which topics to open? :-) (L)

Intellectuals are the opposite of brainwashed :) by definition intellectuals think for themselves vs being spoonfed

An intellectual is a person who uses intelligence (thought andreason) and analytical thinking, either in a professional or a personalcapacity.


... from the given information...


Unlike the "Enlightened" - who prefer to teach the populous ...

400 years ago (today ) one of those evil progressives observed that Jupiter had 4 moons orbiting it, this and other findings lead to his publications station that earth was not the center of the world.
the "conservatives" of that time repeatedly tried to suppress his studies and was actually tried for heresy. He was imprisoned and his books were banned.

by definition intellectuals are those who think and make conclusions,some conclusion will always turn out to be right and others wrong..
making empty, unsubstantiated by facts statements in tune of "In the 1930s, it was the intellectuals who pooh-poohed the dangers from the rise of Hitler and urged Western disarmament"
you got to be the most spoonfed or unread person not to know about the appeasement views policies in Europe..
you got to be the most spoon-fed and unread person not to know about the appeasement views and policies throughout the world during that time..
that kind of views and post are intended as flamebait..

Mike,
You are playing words.. he was from the time of Enlightenment...
in reality - He was an intellectual from the time period called Enlightenment. It does not mean he was Enlightened... and definitely he did not call himself that..

Rabinovich, you are free not to address any topics I open, because you are obviously here to insult people..so it's kinda disgusting to have this kind of conversation...
I don't know what kind of idiot or uninformed person doesn't know that the NYT likes were always supportive of the Soviet regime, would write dishonest articles, cover up facts,etc. for as long as they exist..and they are the ones who consider themselves intellectuals..and anybody with the opposite views are anti-intellectuals..and that's why the moonbats here repeat the mantra..

Gera, he did not have to call himself that.. this is what he was, someone who was enlightened and an intellectual and a progressive..
The roman church was "the conservatives" of those times..
If the church still had the power we would still think that the world revolves around the earth.. actually if it was not for the "enlightened progressive intellectuals" we would not even have a wheel, as "conservatives" would argue that wheels are an evil invention of the satan and our life was perfect for thousands of wheelless years :).

The roman church was not "the conservatives" - they were uneducated nuts and they had inquisition and pushed their dogma onto the masses!
Similar to today's Enlightened ones... do not play the words.

This not the discussion about educated vs. uneducated... I thought - this is about people who can think for themselves.
