My point is being an intellectual alone doesn’t make you noble… Academia produces some grotesque monsters (liberal ones and fascist ones).
I will give you a concrete example of what I mean: Samantha Power. Not someone who is a race scientist (at least not explicitly). She is a liberal intellectual who promotes imperialist and fascist policies using liberal virtues, i.e. right to protect as a defense.
I hope I am not being unnecessarily combative. My point is liberals won’t consider intellectuals who are actually left. They just mean their intellectuals (liberal interventionists and economists, etc). Just like they will defend their journalists, not assange.
