Anti-intellectualism in convenient meme form. No thanks.
I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.
I saw someone else post this:
The legal presumption of the “reasonable person”, often criticised by legal scholars, has most successfully been debunked, of all things, by social media.
It's easy enough to see that it's satire. But satire has made people into Nazis on 4chan.
The right state of mind is boring. People only want boring when excitement becomes tiresome.
Except that it is clearly satire - it's poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.
Having said that, one could argue Poe's law - it can be hard to tell these days what's satire and what's not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism
You may be misinterpreting the meme - it's meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. "YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS" is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.
this is how I interpreted it as well

This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn't choose that community name. Lol.
Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.
