And they're setting up for the hard sciences as we speak.

Look into heterodox academy and Jonathan Haidt, he got caught up in 2015 and brought it to widespread attention.

*All* these articles will attack him.

Well there is that nonsene about sex differences which some academics want to erase

Apart from that i read some hit pieces claiming that top research is extremely sexist

And female scientists are harased

The "science wars" is a thing. A really good Youtube channel detailing the arguments is King Crocoduck.

Remember the head mod that deleted the KotakuInAction subreddit?

Yeah hes not a mod anymore.

Basically postmodern critical theorists demanding that western science be ripped up because it's sexist and racist.

The good news is that this nonsense is worst in the Anglophone world. Somewhere like France is far better at ignoring its critical theorists and postmodernism is unpopular there (ironic, given French intellectuals played a huge role in its creation).

Yeah i think you are right

Its spreading tho

@Sarah Jessica Farter Is it like those Africans who wanted to "dismantle western science and restart it from an African perspective"

THose peeople piss me off

What does an "african perspective" add?

They havent even proven that much

And Africa is still a bunch of shitholes

Well, they prove the alt right right...

Black Panther was an altright movie

Replace everything with white, and people will yell racist.

Ethnostate that refuses refugees or helping other nations with their advanced tech

They see nothing but skin color

And that annoysme

@Deleted User Exactly. That's postmodernism mixed with postcolonialism (the academic field). Postmodernism or more specifically poststructuralism is, as the name suggests, about deconstructing everything. ie. Tearing everything down (because it's all racist and sexist). Postcolonialism is a branch of critical theory coming up with babble about how and why the western world and everything emanating from it is racist.

That "science must fall" case was your perfect example.

Its weird, because in the comics wakanda was like saudi arabia

Except instead of oil, it's Vibranium

You know, sometimes it's like it's the academics that are more retarded than the general public

@GingaBomber

"Through the black magic, you are able to send the lightning to strike someone. Can you explain that scientifically?"
-interrupts- "it's not true"
-some time later- "see and that response is why I'm not on the science faculty...western modernity is totalizing...you need to de-colonize your mind"

Wakanda is a fascist state! Really. Autocratic rule. Militarized population. Strong emphasis on "the nation". Isolationism. No foreign trading or immigration. And Wakanda will've had to have colonised land to have created itself.

'fallist' lmfao

@Sarah Jessica Farter wakanda isn't fascist, it's a constitutional monarchy

IIRC the guy who interrupted was thrown out shortly thereafter after challenging the speaker to 'use your voodoo to strike me down"

They have a book of rules

Proto-fascist then

And there's the king and smaller leaders

It's more like the UK

In the comics, that is

UK isnt fascist, fingers crossed we'll get there though 😝

In the comics they're fine with white people
