>Do you want to sound smart but be barely understood
This is totally true. Everyone I talk to thinks my friend is "very smart", and to be fair, he does have an IQ around 130 so he is smart. But he is so vain and concerned with the esteem of others that he does shit like this which makes him sound like a retard. It's also why he's a Leftist mess who thinks race is a social construct and is then forced to defend that position which makes him look retarded.
This is more inline with foolishness than stupidity. You can be really intelligent but also a fucking foolish retard.
Well, see, there are people who I consider anti-intellectuals. When intellectualism is about bringing information, understanding, leadership, advice to people, anti-intellectualism is about obfuscating, deceiving, misleading, creating taboos, etc.
In order to be a "good" anti-intellectual, you also need intelligence. If it's too low, you are too stupid to convince anyone, if it's too high, you cannot sustain being an anti-intellectual - your natural pursuit of truth bars you from rejecting so much information and patterns. Unless you are a bad faith actor, aka malicious. Jordan Peterson is an example of a person who is highly intelligent, but went utterly corrupt.
An IQ of 130 is quite high for the midwit range which makes ideal leftists, but there must be some in order to have their ideology maintained. There must be individuals who are smart enough to maintain the institutions that push it, and to get into teaching positions for indoctrination. If they were retarded ogres, their entire ideology would just fall apart because it would be indefensible.
But the trick is to push laws, taboos, avoid debates, and just run propaganda and indoctrination - all of which avoid intellectual challenges which could tear apart their ideologies. They do not have to convince - they just have to manifest the systems.
