Pranksters or Heroes?
Scammers, pranksters, or heroes?
What do you think? I think heroes.
"However, what are broadly known as “grievance studies” (where grievances are attributed to a collective and a political solution is prefabricated) seemed to me a postmodernist trick."
Thus, I concurred with philosopher Roger Scruton that they are fake subjects “constructed around an ideology” for “the pursuit of political conformity.”
"Academe’s Snowdens submitted 20 papers, ever more nonsensical, had 7 acceptances and 7 in review (revise and resubmit typically leads to acceptance) at the top journals in the hallowed field of grievance studies. Some of the fictitious authors even got invited to “peer review” others. How come? Because they submitted papers with inferences no more outlandish than what’s already published; indeed, they mimicked what was already out there."
