Half baked Intellectualism 

Half baked Intellectualism refers to individuals whos only merit or credibility in relation with either political or social topics or matters lies explicitly upon their research and study and not backed with any level of first hand personal experience. therefore lacking any level of true or real incite and understanding of the mentioned topics or issues. Whereby they simply recite the works of others and thus fancy them selves to be knowledgeable and educated. Without having made any real contribution to the discussion or issue at hand.
The best way to summarise Half baked Intellectualism. Is to say that

Mike who has his whole life lived in a free society and thus has never experienced first hand the horrors of tyranny or subjugation, but has a Masters degree in political science. Writes a book addressing his views in relation with life under tyranny and suppression.

pseudo-intellectuals 

Pseudo-intellectuals are people of average intelligence who are enchanted with highly intellectual topics and discussions such as philosophy, socioeconomics, destiny of humanity, etc.

Unlike a genuine academic, a pseudo-intellectual’s main reason for being interested in these topics is because it makes him feel intellectually superior to his peers. He usually despises main stream culture, accuses those who disagree with him as being ignorant, and when his ideas are challenged, he often retaliates with “That’s a straw man argument!”

Pseudo-intellectuals can often be found in political discussion boards on the internet, patronizing boutique shops, participating in various Anti-something rallies, sitting on a park’s bench during a weekend afternoon and playing a guitar, or spending eight consecutive years in college trying to earn a B.A degree in political science or philosophy.

anti-intellectualism 

Hostility towards people who care about facts and education.

The mentality that truthiness satirizes.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

psuedo-intellectuals 

Ignorant bastards. Individuals who are gifted with a large vocabulary and quick wit, and use it to other's expenses. Often very sarcastic, and thrive on making fun of those they view as different or slow-witted. Also incredibly critical and judgemental, these individuals believe everything that is not them is stupid and moronical. Anything deemed as immature or stupid is subject to their quick, aggressive tongue.

I really hate these people, they are so close minded and immature. Its like a five year old girl putting on make up.
