Don't feel too special in this. Anti-intellectualism is rampant in many parts of the world. Especially rightwing populous politicians do thwir best in painting intellectualism as something evil. Something to avoid at all costs.
Why? Because they thrive on people refraining from educating themselves. Education is their natural enemy, since people asking questions would take them for the snake oil sellers they are. Before some of the usual suspects pick up on that. In the past it was the left as well. But these times are gone.
There's the term of "Gutmensch" in the German language. It literally means "good human", but the right has managed to spin it into something bad. To discredit humanism, caring for others and tolerance because that's where it's used in a derogatory sense.
