Lol. So true. Reminds me of this:

"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
Ronald Reagan

George Orwell described intellectuals perfectly. They claim that they are smart but in reality, they're pretty stupid and ignorant.

@Barefooter25 Well, some of them certainly CAN be ignorant, in some very important ways!!! However, lately, with all the brainwashing going on in our ivy league universities and colleges, that number is growing exponentially!!!

@Barefooter25 George Orwell WAS an intellectual. Also, best to check out who he fought with in the Spanish Civil War and the subjects he wrote about in The Road to Wigan Pier and Down and Out in Paris and London before claiming him as being anti-socialist. Consider his whole writings, not just one sentence, otherwise you may appear ignorant.

True or not, I do question its use on that poster or whatever it is.

Orwell was deeply worried about authoritarianism generally.
