It comes from the "Enlightenment bad, medicine is degenerate and burning books is heckin aryan" school of thought of self-destructive regimes.

To be fair this isn't a MIGAtard thing, it's a class thing. Some people would say anti-intellectualism is more prevalent in America than in Europe, but I don't think that's accurate, I've seen plenty of it here. They just get mad that they're not university material and therefore are denied certain career avenues, and calling secondary education a libtard thing is a good way to cope.
This includes Trump himself by the way; Rich as he might be, he is not upper class in the slightest, he's only the second generation in his family to have money and it shows in his demeanour, preferences, lack of taste and behaviour.

Part of the annoyance is that with so many foreign students it means fewer Americans could go there. It feels odd giving grants to schools to help out with their projects only for them to turn around and hand out opportunities to foreign students that people hoped would go to Americans.
Then you have:
-Annoyance with how conservatives feel like their political opinions have been discriminated on college campuses
-Hatred of credentialism
-Dislike of Title IX
And so on, which all kinda got mixed together even if doesn't much sense, since you end up demanding more Americans get access to elite universities that you think are brainwashing kids to be libtards getting credentials that you think are worthless.
But then in the end, the main reason the White House seems to be going against the universities is they weren't wanting to crush all anti-Israel protests. So most of those cheering on going against Harvard are really siding with the Israel-firsters that many of them despise.

Aren't black guys treated like shit in China? I heard there was a ton of racism there towards them
Because people with an education typically are usually smarter and education helps see through Republican, especially Trump's, bullshit. It's why AM talk radio, Fox News and Russian botfarm slop on social media has spent the past few decades trying to make education sound bad and "woke". Studies have shown that MAGA typically have a below average IQ as opposed to people who don't want an elderly, senile, obese conman to penetrate them.

They are, same for Caucasians or anyone that is not Chinese, but Africans get the worst of it. In any case, you're either a white or black monkey to them. You can still become their favorite monkey, but you will never be equal to a Chinese person of same status. The Taiwanese are slightly more chill in that regard compared to continentals.

The whole “book learnin’ is for fags” shit was rampant during the Dubya era and the reason was simple: they needed more cannon fodder for more forever wars. In this case, they’re trying to establish a caste of jeets for white collar work. That was the whole foundation of Elol Musk’s rants about how white people can’t program. Whenever Retardlicans want to discourage their base from higher education, their alternative is always something shittier for them to do. Skip college to get blown up in Iraq or skip college to work on the factory floor for $20 an hour. Sure your body might be a mess by 40 but at least you didn’t have to get taught by a libtard at college!

Every single political regime, from monarchs to communists, despise the educated classes, to some extent or another, because they invariably always remain a threat to any regime they're subject to. Even some people operating exclusively within a STEM field, like those who worked on the Manhattan project, turned out to be Marxists. Even the Democrats aren't safe, as seen with how students started protesting Biden's inaction in putting a stop to the conflict in Gaza. This can be best encapsulated by how Plato deemed democracy to be inefficient, but instead advocated for Greek city states to be ruled by a "Philosopher King". A lot of academics hold a similar bias, even if they don't realize it, the desire for their ideas and beliefs to dictate societal norms. And that's true regardless of what political affiliation they hold (which is typically always contrarian to the status quo).
It made more sense during the cold war era, when things like "operation paperclip" or accepting jewish scientists like Albert Einstein revealed that adopting educated foreigners within your country yields very high reward at a time when there was very strong pressure to technologically outcompete USSR. Not only that, but it allowed to indoctrinate students from the 3rd world into western ideology. Today, in a multipolar world order, where current tensions are dictated by trade wars and not ideology, it is harder to justify such projects, if the educated foreigners decide to go back to their country, as they're no longer seen as ideological pawns, but an economic loss.
Yeah, it highly depends. Although when people refer to Europe, they typically just refer to the same 3 countries (UK, France and Germany), they don't refer to Armenia, Slovenia or Albania... I'm not sure most people would be able to point these countries on the map.
This is exactly what is happening in Russia and other Eastern European countries right now. White trash culture like Gopniks went from being vilified as a societal nuisance to pinnacle of masculinity. It is surreal how just over a decade ago, there was a prominence of moral panic surrounding violent video games, that it will make young men violent and aggressive and now everybody's complaining that young men today are sissies and pansies, while kids at school are sharing footage of literal war crimes being committed, and nobody bats a fucking eye anymore, even though it's substantially more gruesome and disturbing than anything put in a video game.

I'm from Eastern Europe too - I assume you're a Balt - but this isn't just about anti-intellectualism in Eastern Europe, a lot of which is explainable by the communist period and it's overglorification of manual labour and the like. The working class should never be maligned, but neither should they be praised, and their specific pathologies especially should not be encouraged.
You see it a lot in the UK (Bazza's eternal disdain for the toffs). In France and Germany it's not as common, but there still is a certain spite for highly-educated people from the usual suspects (welfare recipients, people left behind in rural ghost towns, the remaining crucifix-clutching boomers et al.)

Just look at this video and the comments on it.
If I didn't know better, I'd think it was an Onion parody.

It's the Art of the Shart! Those europoors won't know what to do when Trump flip-flops on his threats in a matter of less than a week.
I used to think it was contradictory to be rabidly against big pharma, big medicine, doctors for profit, etc. while decrying socialized medicine as communist and ineffective (Canadian doctors just kill you hur hur). Then I understood what they really want is kook medicine like Alex Jones' supplements, ivermectin for viral infections and chlorine dioxide (miracle solution).

The goal of a reactionary regime is to shrink its followers' frontal lobes until they have a completely predictable response to any stimulus. This happens on the left as well as the right, except on the left they are socialized to have a radical acceptance of whatever insane new decadence comes along from furries to tranny-ism.
Look on A&N for ample evidence of their success. Thread about California / Hollywood? Hurr, I hope it all burns to the ground, fuck Commiefagnia / Pedowood, I only watch films that are 60+ years old / John Wayne movies! (He was a Freemason btw.) Thread about the Middle East? Hurr, I hope they both lose! Glass it until it's a parking lot! Any mention of white women? YOU JUST KNOW THEY FUCK DOGS! THIS IS A REAL THING AND NOT MY ANTI-SOCIAL SEXUAL OBSESSION!
Layoffs in tech? LEARN2WELD! Layoffs in blue collar work? LEARN2CODE! Just look at the threat title and think to yourself, "What would a spiteful, ignorant troll have to say about this?" and you'll have predicted like 60%+ of the replies in the thread.
And this can change week to week, according to the needs of the regime! In Maoist China, one month the hydraulic engineers were bourgeoise individualists who should be put on stage and humiliated because they are estranged from working the land, which is the true good. Next week, the scientists and engineers are exalted geniuses who will uplift our nation to prosperity with science, the true good! Adherents should never think about the internal coherency of the plan; that's for the Inner Party to worry about. Followers should just foam at the mouth and hate whatever the designated target is -- and that has a very primal appeal to nearly everyone.

Don't forget how their position on tariffs went from:
Trump plans tariffs: "IT'S A NEGOTIATING TACTIC! MARKET WILL GO WAY UP AFTER DADDY'S PLAN!"
Trump implements tariffs, market crashes: "TARIFFS IS GUD!" MARKET CRASHING IS GUD! YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING AND LOVE IT!"
Trump removes tariffs: "DADDY REMOVING TARIFFS IS GUD! MARKET GOING UP IS GUD!"
They literally have no positions at all, except supporting whatever it is that Daddy Trump does.

The tariffs are a nice negotiating tactic and could help a bit with some markets. They were just implemented in a retarded way by trying to apply it to everything and then backtracking on every meaningful industry people actually want brought to the US.
Like Trump had a tariff on bananas. Yet you'll never see most of those defending Trump's blanket tariffs noting stuff like that because it never gets talked about by their influencers or niche commentators.
But then Trump did exemptions for tariffs on chips and other tech stuff, which are the industries people actually would like brought into the US (hence the CHIPS act). Feel like more Trump supporters would be annoyed about this stuff if they actually knew how poorly this stuff was being implemented.

Curating a conspiracy feed tends make your feed cross-over with the evangelicals who are waiting for the rapture, and QAnon types. I can't believe some of the stuff coming out of there. It's actually whats going on in their heads.
