An intellectual hatred is the worst.

They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality.

Fascism must always fail because it creates the discontent which it is designed to suppress.

Just so. And wonder, my friend, is the intellect’s most feared foe. Its path is love, and love is the language of humility. The rational mind would stand over it with a bloodstained sword, and in the empty bleakness of its eyes you will see its triumph.

Fascists rejected reason in the name of will, denying objective truth in favor of a glorious myth articulated by leaders who claimed to give voice to the people. They put a face on globalization, arguing that its complex challenges were the result of a conspiracy against the nation.

They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool.

Nihil sapientiae odiosius acumine nimio

(Nothing is more hateful to wisdom than excessive cleverness)

Colleges hate geniuses, just as convents hate saints.

This machine kills fascists.

Scratch an intellectual, and you find a would-be aristocrat who loathes the sight, the sound and the smell of common folk.

To know all is to despise all.

Just as the most effective enemy of the educated man may be the half-educated man, so the leading anti-intellectuals are usually men deeply engaged with ideas, often obsessively engaged with this or that outworn or rejected idea.

Nothing is so odious to the mediocre as mental superiority. There lies the source of hatred in the world of today.

the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior.
