actually happen.'

Why the Khmer Rouge Killed Intellectuals and City Dwellers (And What It Meant) The Khmer Rouge killed intellectuals and city dwellers because the movement embraced an extreme agrarian, anti-urban ideology that cast educated people, professionals, and anyone linked to the old society as enemies of a new peasant utopia. Under Pol Pot’s rule from 1975 to 1979, cities were emptied, money and markets were abolished, and suspected “intellectuals” were executed or worked to death in rural labor camps.

The Khmer Rouge targeted intellectuals and urban residents in pursuit of an extreme agrarian vision. We unpack the ideology, terror, and consequences. What should the world learn from it today? #CambodianGenocide #Intellectuals #KhmerRouge #KillingFields #PolPot

#Western #intellectuals have long had a soft spot for #Iran’s #Islamic #Republic.
Michel #Foucault saw #Islamism as a way of ‘liberating’ the people from Western shackles.

Iranian women saw the revolution’s danger first | The Jerusalem Post While Foucault praised Iran’s 1979 revolution as spiritual, Iranian women warned it would mean coercion, veiling, and the erasure of their rights.

The Right Side of History?

#Iran, #Intellectuals, and the #Far-Left.

#Ironic that a country created in large part by an assemblage of #Enlightenment #intellectuals has its #institutions and #publiclife so thoroughly degraded by an especially virulent expression of #anti-intellectualism.
#US

The perks of surrounding ourselves with #noble, #righteous, #professionals, #intellectuals, #students, #scholars, #teachers and #professors, #masters and #grandmasters, in the search of the #NobleTruth. I've always wondered #wtf was #AbrahamLincoln thinking, choosing #TheEnemy to be #VicePresident?

Looks like Sadler's new book shows academy finally waking up to Nietzche's baleful metapolitics and its continuing allure for Far Right. It only took 50 years or so. #nietzsche #farright #intellectuals #academia

مصير المثقف الذي يختبئ خلف الصمت ، ويحوّل عقله إلى قبر على قدمين، ويترك أثره ضائعًا.

#PolPot killed all the #intellectuals first. #Stalin the same. Most #revolutions intentionally wipe out what they consider "elite" whether it's #science, #education or #intelligence. Now an old, addled heroine addict with illusions of grandeur and belief in his own bs is in charge.

If there is a "death of expertise" it is because expertise has failed to protect us. I'm not blaming academics and experts, not at all. I empathize, but knowing things isn't enough, clearly. That's all I'm saying. #intellectuals #academia #epistemology
