I wish more academic folks on the left with strong anti-racist views would sign this too.
This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it.
We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else.

There’s a whole batch of these right-wing pseudointellectual grifters whose primary function is performing a stupid person’s idea of a smart person, with the content of that performance being sort of secondary.
Yarvin (and Peterson) are idiots that sound smart but aren’t. They say something like “the epistemology of derivative masculinity is negated by the hegemony of tautological feminism” and chuds assume they can’t understand it because it’s soooo intellectual and don’t realize it’s nonsensical babbling

most people are just fucking sad and stressed out because existing is unnecessarily hard right now dude

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Donald Trump is mortal and JD Vance is a Eurofash who lacks Donald's intuitive understanding that the American authoritarian model is about giving the Worst Guys You Know free reign to tyrannize their petty fiefdoms rather than esoteric woo-woo pseudointellectual tradcath philosopher king LARPing.
What evidence do you have that there will be a "next lib president"?
All I see is Americans accepting fascism.

i would never claim this mantle for myself but i have written 140 essays about sandwich history over the last five years and know a lot of random shit about various sandwiches now. i failed at academia and am a confirmed pseudointellectual dilettante tho
The last shred of justice in the cosmos is a random Guy being the world's foremost sandwich historian
i tell you what i keep being surprised when research on something like "who invented mayonnaise?" is an insane and complicated multicountry Saga but like of course it is

Wow who could have ever guessed FIRE was a rightwing prop-up who would abandon their commitment to free speech the moment their favorite authoritarian was in power?
Everyone. Fucking everyone who didn't have their pseudointellectual head up their pseudointellectual ass.

I know some of you get sick of me dunking on the free speech bros, but at a time when Trump is threatening his speech as no president has before, the head of FIRE is busy RTing a far right “researcher” whining about his paper getting rejected

The impression one is left with of Weiss is as an incompetent and pathetic social climber eager to please the people with the most money, high on her own pseudointellectual supply. It's not a surprising portrait of course but nice to have it confirmed.

Podbean keeps trying to recommend Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson podcasts to me because I listen to philosophy lectures and shit like that. But I don't want their pseudointellectual misogynistic fart-huffing on my feed, I have nothing but contempt for those trashy poseurs. Are there alternatives?

When Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor was attacked for her research on racism, you didn’t speak up?
But an openly racist pseudointellectual who lead a mob that killed Ardy faces consequences for his racist opinions & behavior and THAT’S what motivates you to speak up?
Please. Spare me.

The wider problem being that the pseudointellectual pederast archetype is one of the most surefire ways for someone to become a British national treasure.
stephen fry makes me legitimately angry it’s so dumb.
it’s the cosplaying as an intellectual that irks me. he used to be a toff type guy who was mildly amusing. but the pr character of ‘brain the size of a planet’ really got to him 20 years ago and he’s been an insufferable prick ever since.
