Anti-intellectualism is usually largely about "intellectuals who keep on bringing up their annoying facts instead of just being useful to those currently in power and not rocking the boat" although it often takes on a life of its own to their own detriment. There has been a large history of rage at military innovations which disrupt the "elite's" favored tactics from Spartans lamenting siege engines to the hatred of crossbows. One example which comes to mind as similiar but more practical than intellectual is millers being portrayed as literally satanic in European feudal systems for getting richer through cleverness not a part of neither the church hierarchy nor conquest or even patronage.
