   A story I had been following. Background is 3 self-identified left leaning scholars submitted nonsense studies to peer-reviewed journals for publication…and they were! And they were praised!!
   Purpose: ‘The hoaxed submissions — built on what the trio of professors said were “absurd or morally reprehensible” conclusions — were part of an effort to expose what the scholars describe as a “corruption” across humanities fields of American colleges and universities.”
   The professors describe the ascendance of a neo-Marxist political dogma across academia, which they warn is bleeding into the cultures of news media organizations and large corporations.
   “The threesome observed a lack of academic rigor within scholarly fields focusing on gender, race, and sexuality.”
   Below are some of the professors’ submitted papers’ titles and summaries which were published and praised by academic journals:
   “Dog Park” – Human Reactions to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity in Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon
   Discipline/subdiscipline: Feminist geography
   Summary: That dog parks are “rape-condoning spaces” and a place of rampant canine rape culture and systemic oppression against “the oppressed dog” through which human attitudes to both problems can be measured and analyzed by applying black feminist criminology. This is done to provide insights into training men out of the sexual violence and bigotry to which they are prone. Arguably our most absurd paper.
   Purpose: Journals will accept arguments which should be clearly ludicrous and unethical if they provide (an unfalsifiable) way to perpetuate notions of toxic masculinity, heteronormativity, and implicit bias.
   “Dildos” – Going in Through the Back Door: Challenging Straight Male Homohysteria and Transphobia through Receptive Penetrative Sex Toy Use
   Discipline/subdiscipline: sexualities studies
   Summary: That it is suspicious that straight men rarely anally self-penetrate using sex toys, and that this is probably due to fear of being thought homosexual (“homohysteria”) and bigotry against trans people (transphobia). (It combines these ideas into a novel concept “transhysteria,” which was suggested by one of the paper’s peer reviewers.) Encouraging them to engage in receptive penetrative anal eroticism will decrease transphobia and increase feminist values.
   Purpose: That journals will accept ludicrous arguments if they support (unfalsifiable) claims that common (and harmless) sexual choices made by straight men are actually homophobic, transphobic, and anti-feminist.
   “Feminist ​Mein Kampf​” – Our Struggle is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism
   Discipline/subdiscipline: feminist social work
   Note: The last two thirds of this paper is based upon a rewriting of roughly 3600 words of Chapter 12 of Volume 1 of Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler, though it diverges significantly from the original. This chapter is the one in which Hitler lays out in a multi-point plan which we partially reproduced why the Nazi Party is needed and what it requires of its members. The first one third of the paper is our own theoretical framing to make this attempt possible.
   Summary: Feminism which foregrounds individual choice, responsibility, female agency, and strength can be countered by a feminism which unifies in solidarity around the victimhood of the most marginalized women in society.
   Purpose: That we could find Theory to make anything (in this case, part of Chapter 12 of Volume 1 of Mein Kampf with buzzwords switched in) acceptable to journals if we put it in terms of politically fashionable arguments and existing scholarship. Of note, while the original language and intent of Mein Kampf has been significantly changed to make this paper publishable and about feminism, the reliance upon the politics of grievance remains clear, helping to justify our use of the term “grievance studies” for these fields.

   Update: They were told to stop it and write no more. Censored.

   The squaw talks big wampum!
   “The Democratic presidential candidate published an online essay this week saying that a rise in consumer and corporate debt is imperiling the longest expansion in U.S. history. “Whether it’s this year or next year, the odds of another economic downturn are high — and growing,” Warren wrote.”
   Government debt?
   Not a problem. No siree!
   Got to transfer the student debt into public debt and we’ll be just ducky.
   Cause you plumbers need to pay off your doctors debts.
   Sounds fair.
   Cause doctors donate more to Warren than plumbers.
   Get it?

   Just a reminder for our pro dope smokers.
   Which is more important to you? your right to own a gun? or your desire to fry your mind?
   https://dailycaller.com/2019/07/23/missouri-medical-marijuana-guns/
   “Federal regulation forbids marijuana users from purchasing firearms and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) added language about marijuana three years ago to its gun purchase form clarifying that federal regulations take precedence over state laws”
   “The ATF’s position on cannabis is based on federal law. Marijuana is a “Schedule 1” controlled substance classified under the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, regardless of state laws, according to USA Carry.
   The Gun Control Act of 1968 maintains the “unlawful use” of all substances on “Schedule 1” prohibits gun ownership, because under federal law it is not possible to use cannabis lawfully.”
   I bet good money a few FED law breakers are posting here.

    Aha! Somalia made the list for the ten most dangerous countries on Earth for women. Yemen, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Syria, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and, of course, the United States. The US always makes these kind of lists, always. America is berry berry bad.
    https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/worst-countries-for-women
    I bet they surveyed modern day new feminists, social justice warriors, social commentators, and academics. “MeToo and #TimesUp catapult America into the club of world’s most anti-women countries”, the only country in the Western Hemisphere to make the top ten of of the worse of the worse. Yep, I thunk right.
    Milo and the old feminists are correctt. The new wave feminists are just a herd of whinny vicious men haters that see themselves first and foremost as victims…and beyond criticism.
