Akademischer Boykott ist im Sinne der Wissenschaftsfreiheit Boykotte gegen Israels akademische Institutionen stehen in der Kritik, die Wissenschaftsfreiheit zu gefährden. Doch die Einwände erweisen sich als schwach und rücken durch die Zerstörung der Bildungsi...

Der Skandal liegt nicht im Aufruf zu einem akademischen Boykott, sondern in der fortgesetzten materiellen & ideologischen Unterstützung eines Staates, der offen gegen grundlegende Menschenrechte & Völkerrecht verstößt

'Het moet heerlijk zijn om als journalist zo nonchalant door het leven te gaan, de Haagse politiek te verslaan als een sportwedstrijd met winnaars en verliezers, en je perspectief als ‘nuchter’ voor te stellen. De vooringenomen journalist, de activist, dat is de ander.'

De 'ophef' is dat FvD'ers banden zouden hebben met extreem-rechtse organisaties. Maar nupuntnl - en ze zijn de enige niet - vergeet de cruciale slag te maken: de FvD is zélf zo'n organisatie. Dát is het verhaal: het FvD is extreem-rechts, en deel van een gewelddadig netwerk. Durf het te benoemen!

Recensie: In het Boekenweekessay van Doortje Smithuijsen komt zelfspot op de plaats van een kritische analyse Boomers en millennials blinken allebei uit in onuitstaanbaarheid, schrijft Doortje Smithuijsen in haar Boekenweekessay. Grappige lifestylekritiek, maar de klassenanalyse is wat magertjes.

Recensie van het Smithuijsen-essay door @helmerstoel.bsky.social. 'Wie alleen de havermelkelite op de hak neemt, blijft bij een lifestylebegrip van klasse, en zegt uitsluitend iets over consumptiegedrag.' Met verwijzing naar mijn boek. www.volkskrant.nl/boeken/recen...
