It was terrible to see several what I consider outright hatchet pieces and character assassinations Jason Arday, for example from Unherd.

#JasonArday #unherd

I wrote in the comment section that I thought this video was a hatchet piece, that is a video with the purpose of character assassination, and that I couldn't stand watching it to the end.
Now that Jason Arday is dead, Unherd has closed the comments and all comments are gone.
Sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought?

Equally unsurprisingly, the article is posted by #Unherd, a right wing website. It also entertains his thoughts on 'Why men are different from women', in which he goes out of his way to agree with Trump on a biological basis of gender.

Fundamentalist atheists seem to be quite right wing.

I subscribe to #UnHerd on the grounds that it's interesting to see what's obsessing their foam-flecked commenters. Sometimes I add a civilly-worded comment to observe the hostile reaction. But for three days, I haven't been able to comment. Have I been banned?

I'm sure Unherd magazine pushed back at that Reform UK candidate praising Hitler, right?

'A Reform UK candidate claimed the country would be "far better" if it had "taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality" instead of fighting the Nazis in World War Two.'

'In posts from 2022 on the Unherd magazine website, seen by the BBC, he said Winston Churchill was "abysmal" and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.'

#UnHerd publishes mostly hard-right propaganda with a veneer of intellectualism. And judging by the comments, many of its readers are far-right extremists.

I’m a big fan of Guy Debord’s work but have never read that of Marc Augé, who came up with the concept of ‘non-places’. These are spaces like airports and hotels where human interaction is largely transactional, leading to a form of psychic isolation.
This article outlines Augé argument that to counteract the dehumanising effects of these […]

What do we think? Has social media made us so Americanised that we don't even notice? Am I the only person left who winces at "leverage" used as a verb with a short E?

Closer to home, does the fediverse feel more culturally diverse than birdsite? Is this as important as being free of Space Karen?

Guerra alla "disinformazione": il terrore della #disinformazione, che ha oscurato la realtà negli ultimi cinquant'anni, è di per sé una delle campagne di #IngegneriaSociale più efficaci del nostro tempo.
