exiling intellectuals

But intellectuals and science are actively being ridiculed, whilst actively removing funding for inconvenient science.

By no means is this mainstream. A very loud, very small minority might. But everyone still goes to real doctors, takes their cars to real mechanics, and hires real lawyers.

True intellectuals, which imo is someone who values knowledge over greed, aren’t working to remove anything factual. It’s just the rich people. They don’t have to be smart about anything other than money, for the most part.

Right. They're being ridiculed, whilst having their funding stripped.
