Intellectuals, academics, journalists, and the morality police exist to rationalize, enforce, conserve, and ultimately perpetuate the current order with as little change as possible. Those occupation holders ARE the bully's mind. Morality is bunk they made up to keep us out of the intelligentsia's "rightful" business of property preservation, limit us to "speaking truth to power" as if it fucking cared, and discourage us from defenestrating the lot of them.
