A satirical attack on the intellectuals, writers, poets, and thinkers who are so educated and consider themselves at the forefront of culture, yet are completely mute when it comes to actually doing anything helpful for society with their knowledge, and are silent in the face of, or even cowardly capitulating to, authoritarianism against the country they claim to love.
