Same. Not gonna lie I got like that because of earliest Marx, Emerson, Thoreau and Kaczynski, but I don't hate people who read for fun, only intellectuals and so-called "overintellectuals". As Gomulka said "artist are faggots"

No, though that's very common. As for me, I've developed an anti-anti-intellectual mindset and despise those learned people who glorify the vulgar and benighted philistines.

I suspect that you (understandably) dislike the modern intellitgensia as a social group because of what they've wrought. It'd be a mistake to confuse this group with literature and the humanities, though - you shouldn't think that this group has a monopoly on these things

I'm getting there yes.

Most of /lit/ feels like pointless pretentious wankery by edgy 19 years olds too.
