I don't believe there's any alternate history out there about "well what if the Soviets just lost the eastern front" because they weren't ever going to

Non-profits are just as captured by corporate interests as for-profits. Hell, more so since the top end of staff are either supported by bougie enough circumstances to not need a high income or have funneled all overhead directly into their own pockets via a series of opaque pass throughs.

Remembering the story about the guy who listened to a specific song during sex and his gf realized his thrusts were timed to the beat and he couldn't do sex without that song.

wouldn't go that far. he was a spineless cuckold who would change his opinion to whatever guys in the room he wanted to suck off/impress, lacked any personal convictions, and thought everyone was out to get him seeing shadow mods in every corner. but if he didn't like someone (who he had power over), he would troll them constantly

however, he did love slurs and that makes him based (as a fellow slur aficionado). many past presidents kept wine cellars and instead he collected only the finest vintage of slurs.

I think I’ve mentioned being cornered by conferences, or seeing how many conference papers this year are about hugging and kissing Israel. All of these Canadian liberal academics who had previously used wishy washy “it’s complicated” language, and appealed to “liberal values”, like Israel’s record of women’s rights, LGBT rights*… Israel is a “western” country, a “democracy”, blah blah blah - they’ve all pivoted, while retaining the saccharine liberalism, into “Israel has a right to commit genocide”, essentially.

*neither of which holds up to scrutiny btw, Israel doesn’t even have civil marriage.

The China poo poo kills me because any religious scholar can read Zenz’s millenarian work, and from that dismiss his alleged sudden ethnographical insights out of hand. He admits he’s writing for teleological purposes, how could that not cloud all of his output allegedly on current events?

For the “genocide” it’s even less excusable because tonnes of scholars of Late Antiquity have visited and worked in Xinjiang recently because of the importance of the Silk Road, transmission of Gnosticism, and Nestorian Church in the past 10 or 15 years. I know at least two personally.

I’m not saying digging in Crete makes you an expert on Greek politics, or if mainland Greece was somehow vaguely discouraging the promotion of culture on that island, but surely people in a field like this - where people were working in Algeria during the civil war, people are starting to trickle back into Syria, etc. - can see that you couldn’t work in an area and not notice. Greg Fisher, the expert on Pre-Islamic Arabia, presented several papers on how the treatment of the Sunni community, drought in Syria, and War in Iraq, precipitated ISIS, because he saw it while digging over the years.

Like imagine coming back from 3 years in Crete and saying “it’s awful, I read about the genocide of Cretans by the Greek government in the Globe and Mail”. That’s what these nice, smart, academics trained in cultural history and ethnography are doing.

e: For work-work at least everybody talks about it in terms of containing China, peer adversary etc. I don’t think there’s any pretence that this is a real thing, it’s the little script of our enemies’ barbarism we recite, just like with Russia.
