I dunno. IME dopey yokels -- the regressive, uberconservative types who make a bunch of noise about how liberals hate America and are gunna take away your beer and porn -- their insults tend to be more or less the same shitty stuff you hear all the time -- ethnic slurs, boilerplate misogyny, whatever. But some of the most cutting, evil, soul-destroying shit I've ever heard is from people who have command of a wider vocabulary than you'll find in a copy of the New York Post.

I'm not sure I'm making my point clear enough, but here's hoping.

Nah, I'm not so much disagreeing with that, I think everyone is very capable of being fucking terrible. But that cuts both ways - if intellectuals are no better than uneducated people, I think it makes sense to say they're also no worse.

You're not really WRONG, per se -- intellectuals/educated people/folks what think they're smarter than they actually are/whatever are just as prone to biases and petty bullshit as their more yokely brethren.

What I'm getting at is that guys who strive to appear intelligent (rather than simply letting their intelligence speak for itself) and therefore are drawn to perceived "classier" pursuits or interests, or at the very least academics, tend to create far more toxic environments.

It's probably subjective, I guess. I'm just going by experience -- dumb rednecks are good for a laugh whereas "geek" spaces are horrifying.

I think all human beings are capable of creating awful, toxic, abusive environments, and I think it's probably best to leave it at that

well, what you saying isn't reaching faith, in humanity.
it is being ignorance and blinded.
