Why the far right hates intellectuals and academia? Do they understand that if it wasn't for intellectuals and people of academia, computers and the internet would never existed?. Does the far right even understand the irony of being anti-intellectual in the XXI century while being surrounded by all this great technology that wasn't here 50 years ago?

Do you realize the irony of your grammatical errors coupled with the premise of your post?
Oh look, another troll post from a liberal smearing the boogeyman "far right."
I guess I don't blame them for not talking about their failed leaders, policies, and ideology.

The resentment comes from Professors rewriting history and in-doctorating our child to be something beyond what is taught. The perceptions in these high end Universities not of this world and professor's punish those who have a different view in Political Science course.
Its been proven on tape and testimony by parents and students alike.
Our best and brightest got men to the moon and we have supersonic flight now.

It's envy. Go into most rural counties. See firsthand homes that look like they are barely better than shanties, check out their college grad rates, median income, unemployment rates, and meth use rates.
They are little different than they were when RFK toured such 3rd world slums in America over a half century ago.

The far right has always chosen religion over intellect, and they really are no different than those in Third World countries all over the Middle East.
You want to see real far right anti intellectualism on display, ask them about climate change. They despise science.
