Männlichkeitsbilder in SchulenMein Sohn wird ein Mann – und ich bin besorgt
Toxische Vorbilder lauern überall, auf dem Schulhof wie im Netz. Als nichtweißer Jugendlicher hat der Sohn unserer Autorin noch ganz andere Probleme.

‘What really matters is defeating the left’
The messages in “Everything Is Fine” are all long gone from the chats. So are many of the liberals.
By then, Silicon Valley was moving right.
In May of 2022, Andreessen asked the conservative academic #Richard #Hanania to
“make me a chat of smart right-wing people,”
Hanania recalled.As requested, he assembled eight or ten people
— elite law students and federal court clerks,
as well as Torenberg and Katherine Boyle,
a former Washington Post reporter then at a16z and focused on investing in “American Dynamism.”Later, Hanania added the broadcaster Tucker Carlson.
The substance of the chats no longer exists, but Signal preserved the group’s rotating names, which Andreessen enjoyed changing.
The tone was jesting, but “Marc radicalized over time,”
Hanania recalled.Hanania said he found himself increasingly alienated from the group and the shift toward partisan pro-Trump politics,
and he came to see the chat he’d established as a “vehicle for groupthink.”(A friend of Andreessen’s said it was Hanania, not Andreessen, who had shifted his politics.)
The group continues without him.
Hanania argued with the other members “about whether it’s a good idea to buy into Trump’s election denial stuff.
I’d say, ‘That’s not true and that actually matters.’I got the sense these guys didn’t want to hear it,” he said.
“There’s an idea that you don’t criticize, because what really matters is defeating the left.”
He left the group in June of 2023.

These freaks live in a world where clearly seeing what is happening and what powerful people are openly planning to do is "an extreme case of derangement"
There are no words for how fucked up that thinking is.

Scientific racism today must be seen and rejected for what it truly is
—a hollow attempt to dress discrimination in the garb of science and reasonAcross Europe and the U.S., racist and anti-immigrant groups have embraced
long-discredited ideas that races constitute biologically separate groups
differing in everything from intelligence to birthrate.With immigration a defining topic in fractious debates on both sides of the Atlantic,
#scientific #racism is now explicit in right-wing discourse.In October an exposé in the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper revealed a network dedicated to proliferating race science worldwide had received years of funding from Silicon Valley.
That same month came Donald Trump’s comment decrying immigration as
“a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”In June it was revealed that a U.K. Reform Party candidate had previously insisted that sub-Saharan Africans were lowering IQ in the country.
But while its modern advocates rebrand scientific racism as “human biodiversity,”
such insidious euphemisms are just attempts to give a veneer of respectability to hateful, pseudoscientific beliefs.These beliefs have a dark history tied to the racial pseudoscience of #eugenics,
and its popularity sadly continues unabated.On social media, avowed racists misrepresent genetic research to bolster the narrative that white people are intrinsically superior.
In the rarefied world of Silicon Valley, race science has made a dark renaissance,
elevated by Google and other search engines.(In response to a request for comment from Scientific American, a representative of Google cited a statement from the company that had been included in a Wired article on this subject:
“Our goal is for AI Overviews to provide links to high quality content so that people can click through to learn more,
but for some queries there may not be a lot of high quality web content available.”)Last year a then forthcoming book,
"The Origins of Woke", by right-wing author #Richard #Hanania was lauded by tech industry figures
#David #Sacks and #Peter #Thiel.That same year the Huffington Post reported that Hanania had previously written under a pseudonym for white supremacist websites.
He then wrote an essay in which he claimed to give “an explanation for why I wrote such things,
and why I no longer hold such views.”But critics suggest those views are reflected in his book and in racist comments he has continued to make,
including his suggestions that people of color need aggressive policing and more incarceration.

Hanania’s name keeps turning up in the media. He’s one of the loudest, rich, #racist eugenicists in the US.
“[Hanania’s podcast] featured Steven Pinker…Marc Andreessen, [and] Elon Musk, reads Hanania’s articles and replies approvingly to his tweets. A third billionaire, Peter Thiel, provided a blurb to promote Hanania’s book, “The Origins of Woke,” which HarperCollins plans to publish this September.
In October, #Hanania is scheduled to deliver a lecture at Stanford.”

#Richard #Hanania, Rising Right-Wing Star, Wrote For #White #Supremacist Sites Under Pseudonym
Hanania is championed by tech moguls and a U.S. senator, but HuffPost found he used a pen name to become an important figure in the “alt-right.”
Richard Hanania, a visiting scholar at the University of Texas, used the pen name “Richard Hoste” in the early 2010s to write articles where he identified himself as a “race realist.”
He expressed support for eugenics and the forced sterilization of “low IQ” people, who he argued were most often Black.
He opposed “miscegenation” and “race-mixing.” And once, while arguing that Black people cannot govern themselves, he cited the neo-Nazi author of “The Turner Diaries,” the infamous novel that celebrates a future race war.
A decade later, writing under his real name, Hanania has ensconced himself in the national mainstream media, writing op-eds in the country’s biggest papers, bending the ears of some of the world’s wealthiest men and lecturing at prestigious universities, all while keeping his past white supremacist writings under wraps
