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

"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.
@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
And all races
They never even know about slavery and stuff

Yes
Agree
Ah ok. I havent read the comics. I'll take your word for it, thanks for the correction. I think what we still could say though is that the SJW love for Wakanda makes them hypocrites.
Lol sjws would hate normal wakanda
They co operate with other countries, trading vibranium for tech
Free trade, full on capitalist
What makes it special is that it's like Wonka's factory
But vibranium
