Maybe, but didn’t he actually plagiarize a lot of his work?

He was investingated for plagiarism by Liverpool University, where the degree in question was from, and they found his work flawed in attributions and references, but not full on plagiarism.
The current media storm came from a self a owed race realist who says “in a meritocracy there’d be no black people at university” stirring it up repeating the claims he was found innocent of until he quit his job and killed himself.

He was also investigated at Cambridge, but they concluded it was racially motivated so didn’t complete the process.
Times Higher Education was preparing a major investigative story into his fabrication of medical study subjects and plagiarism of his students, but Arday hit them with a SLAPP action via the high-end law firm Carter-Ruck last autumn and they spiked the story.

So all this shit stirred from substack. Why fuck substack didn’t remove such a racist article from the beginning?

Because substack is a nazi bar.

Substack has had a Nazi problem since it’s inception and refuses to deal with it, citing “freedom of speech”

Every single member of the aristocracy and political leaders of both the Confederacy and apartheid South Africa should have been very publicly executed. And said executions celebrated with drinking holidays. We’d be in a much better spot globally

Truth, we did at least have the Nuremberg trials for them but more should’ve hanged

These movements did a lot of work to blur the line between national identity and the fascist racist agenda of the day. I think it’s as important to clarify to everyone that South African doesn’t mean apartheid supporter and German doesn’t mean Nazi.
I have a friend whose dad is a German WW2 survivor. Whenever my childhood friend talks about Nazis he calls them Germany… Which is so upsetting because today’s Germans might have some things to say about that association!

I did specifically say the leaders and aristocracy of apartheid South Africa, which I would hope to your point implies something different than a citizen of South Africa.
But if the sympathize with Rhodesia they should catch the noose

As a South African, there could’ve been at least some punishment for some people. Basically everyone was forgiven, and presented with the opportunity to learn lessons by themselves and evolve. And 32 years later, Afrikaner farmers are trying to convince Trump that there’s a white genocide and that they’re all precious little victims.
I know that conservatives have a hard time learning anything and doing any evolving (if they could they wouldn’t be conservative) but maybe it would’ve helped if at least some examples were made. Because ‘love and light’ and ‘forgive and forget’ didn’t work.

What that they couldn’t be nazis because they support Israel whatever it does?
