       @LadyMont It might be fun, but it's also part of a bigger picture that's deeply unpleasant. He's a symptom of the state of academe, not a cause. I'd feel a bit sorry for him for the pile on, except that I think he knew what he was doing and was happy to be the beneficiary of the rot. I'm sure he'll pop up again in a few months with a gig in the *consultancy* or QUANGO sector, and he'll milk the *it's not me it's you because racism - duh* cow for as long as he can because there'll always be a market for that. We've known for a long time that academe has devolved into a Ponzi scheme, a grift, a cycle of self-referential nonsense, and a means of putting truly terrible ideas into public life through credentialed activism. This is the real problem. But when there are a lot of people whose careers, income, power and status depend on this set up we'll have the devil's own job to sort it out.

       @KeepTakingTheSoma * but it's also part of a bigger picture that's deeply unpleasantThat makes it fun to watch. That it gets pointed out amongst all the drivel of supporting that fraud, claiming he’s a victim of “institutionalized racism”. The vid is massacring that bigger picture.

       @LadyMont If only it might lead to actual change. My money's on an *inquiry* which will take three years, cost 2 million and conclude that mistakes were made and lessons will be learned.

       @KeepTakingTheSoma Of course it won’t. It’s gonna happen again and again due to actual racism. DEI isn’t going anywhere I’m afraid. It’s too lucrative
