don’t complain about anti-intellectualism when people ask for simplified language, or ask you what something means. simplified language can help neurodivergent/intellectually disabled people, people without much formal education, and people who aren’t fluent in whatever language you are using
anti-intellectualism is when governments and other powerful institutions try to silence teachers, scientists, artists, among others, because they don’t want people to question their power or learn things that those in power disagree with
two very different things
