Die 70er haben angerufen und wollen ihre platte antifeministische Diffamierungsrhetorik - Kritik patriarchaler Gewalt = „Männerhass“ - zurück.

Meisterdenkerin der UK „Gender Criticals“ Kathleen Stock wie sie ihre Schwester im Geiste Nina Power supported, direkt nachdem diese per Gericht als Fascho-Freundin und Rassistin mit Interesse an Mein Kampf und den Protokollen der Weisen von Zion enttarnt wurde luketurner.com/victory-in-h...
Screenshot von Kathleen Stock vom 02.07. über Nina PowerAlso now public after having been adduced as evidence at trial are WhatsApp messages between Ms Power—who is currently a Telegraph writer and editor of Compact magazine—and Mr Miller. These reveal that Ms Power and Mr Miller both kept copies of Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’, with Mr Miller suggesting they might “find [themselves] agreeing with it”. This leads Ms Power to “Wonder what the real deal is with the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion]”, the notorious antisemitic text that inspired Hitler. The logs also show Ms Power claiming that “the social disapproval for ‘racism’ is a psyop to stop people realising that there *are* alien and fairy races”, and that “black and white were alien races and very different”.

Nach dem Totalversagen in Sachen #WissZeitVG versucht das BMBF jetzt auch noch die Wissenschaftsfreiheit abzuräumen. Wie viel Schaden wollt Ihr dem Wissenschaftsstandort D eigentlich noch zufügen? 🤯 Und all das in Zeiten, in denen wissenschaftsfeindliche Kräfte weiter an Boden gewinnen. Unglaublich.

One of the more toxic traits of the modern neoliberal university is the tendency for disciplines to dunk on other disciplines. In other words, the anti-intellectualism is coming from inside the house.

Forty years ago, Gay's the Word was reeling from raids by HM Customs & Excise. You might've heard of 'Operation Tiger', but probably know less about the books accused of being 'indecent or obscene'. Our new online exhibition reveals more – london.ac.uk/seized-books
