Department of Energy is the primary funder of American particle physics so they are threatening to cancel almost all funding for particle physics in the United States 🧪⚛️

"Data are also truncated to hide facts that subvert a liberal narrative. "
i got no access to that article so i can only HOPE mofo actually bothered to provide some evidence for this serious accusation

ah yes, the famous civil libertarian position of "don't violate civil norms while doing what you have a constitutional right to do"

if only you had been able to read the the post with which i "inserted" myself for comprehension. it would've answered the question in your 2nd sentence and could've saved you from writing the factually incorrect statement in the first.

the right to challenge rightwing ideas and not have to take reheated versions of phrenology, for starters.
(i'm not rehashing the last 10 years with you, not my fault you haven't been paying attention)

believe it or not, you are not the topic of conversation. the attacks on academic freedom by fire & co is.

30 disinvitations in 13 years. vs +1000 visa terminations in 3 months. one of thse is a disaster the other is nothing

or sufficient historical education. attacks on universities are always one of the early symptoms of a dictatorial regime gaining strength. academic freedom is anathema to autocratic regimes

EXACTLY. we knew. but centrists always seem to wanna write about what personally inconveniences or annoys them as The Threat, rather than what actually causes harm to ppl who aren't them
comment in response to
post
this i guess is the core of it. being threatened by sociology poking holes in cherished beliefs is being put on the same scale as literal fucking fascism. it's rank bullshit and should be called out as rank bullshit. only one of these is actually any kind of real threat

also, to be clear, your claim is a strawman. that is NOT what michael is saying. he's saying that the threat from left academia was always overhyped and verging on a moral panic and is thus fully irrelevant, especially now that we're facing actual threats that actually exist

this. people WERE already pointing out back then that the right was gearing up to do a fascism. gamergate was in 2014, after that it was a personal choice not to lnow what was coming.

in 2015, people DID forsee this, and also there was literally nothing to criticize; every single "intolerant left academy overreach" story turned out to be a fabrication or extreme exaggeration of a harmless situation

seriously, "students engaging in first amendment right to protest" isn't like "students being illegally kidnapped and removed from country". it's not murder vs genocide, it's playing a bloody videogame vs genocide
comment in response to
post
in this case it was literally just "single foreign student experiencing culture shock", so it's not even jaywalking; it's like when white ppl think a black teen walking thru their neighborhood must be some sort of crime but isn't

the "threat" is incomparable both quantitatively AND qualitatively. one threatens fascism, the other threatens conservative understanding of society and social hierarchies.
like, we're not talking about tankies taking over and making the us a stalinist hell; we're talking academics

oh noes, not the threat from the left academy, whatever will we do when the horror of young ppl learning to analyse sociaty via class analysis becomes even greater [/s]

where the fuck did he get "pro-trump" from, anyway. ppl are saying his writing contributed to the trans panic and the pro-trans-panic party winning, not that he is a trump supporter
