Det er vel ikke så relevant for KrF om "kristne verdier" er bedre enn andre verdier når KrF holder seg milevis unna kristne verdier uansett, er det det da?

Jesus hadde aldri i verden stemt på KrF, det sier de jo selv også 🤷

2/2 demonstrating (yet again) why a feminist analysis is absolutely essential to understanding our times. It is a real problem that much mainstream research extremism or the far-right completely (and willfully, in my view, given the brilliant research already out there) ignores this.

1/2 “We are witnessing the restoration of patriarchy, nationalism, racism, and capitalist individualism. It's the nostalgic fury of right-wing movements that want to return to an idealized past ... and to reestablish hierarchical orders.” Butler expertly

This is truly excellent work and provocative thinking by my dear comrade Petrus Liu. Do give it a read!

Made in China Journal @madeinchinajournal.com · 2d

What does it mean to speak of decriminalisation or depathologisation of homosexuality in China? In his new essay, Petrus Liu challenges Western narratives of queer progress, arguing that same-sex desire was never criminalised but rendered unintelligible within prevailing legal and cultural norms.

Queer Unintelligibility in China | Made in China Journal

It has become something of a truism, in both academic discourse and everyday conversation, that invisibility is a central form of queer oppression. In a culture in which queer lives are erased—whether...

Joda, jeg ser for så vidt den. Men jeg mener, som så mange andre forskere, at kjønn er så sentralt i disse ideologiske mobiliseringene at de koblingene og deres potensielle og faktiske konsekvenser er svært viktig å ha med.

Rett skal være rett: ak annonserte rett før valget at hun hadde trukket seg fra for og ikke var aktiv i valgkampen for partiet lengre. På athena er det jo også uthevet at hun er politisk uavhengig.

Designating antifa and "Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism" (TIIVE) and removing funding for research to monitor and counter terrorism and violent extremism is a threat to the language and tools we have to protect public safety everywhere.

5/5 Clueless media + desperate politicians fall for their rhetoric far too often, in the name of free speech, both sides, protecting kids + 'women' etc. Instead, far more critical attention should be paid to these targetted campaigns attacking progressive bills that protect LGBTQ+ and repro rights.

4/5 of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals". Denmark, Sweden, and Finland as so far members. In Norway, transpobic 'lesbianfeminist' Tonje Gjevjon keeps promoting them quite tirelessly.
These networks may appear legitimate to those who are largely unaware of the pattern of anti-gender mobilizations.

3/5 (Denmark) and Linda Hart (Finland). Where is funding and resources coming from, to finance these websites and campaigns, I wonder.
Then there is the new LGB International, which seems to be essentially LGB Alliance just with a new logo. It claims to be "the federation of national organisations

2/5 which in reality is a cut-and-paste glossy ideological manifest, completely lacking any references or sources. The notorious Norwegian Anne Kalvig (WDI) who self-publises similar rants in book-like formats, is apparently on the expert panel. Alongside other Scandis like Jacqueline Vejlstrup

1/5 The common strategy to invent organizations to advance anti-gender and LGBTQ+ hate continues, and Norwegian actors are (as usual) enthusiastic active participants and cheerleaders. Recently formed Athena Forum works to "advance sex-based rights", and has already published what they call a report

3 Oct 2025 -- CBS, long known as the Tiffany Network for its new excellence, is bringing in anti-trans lesbian Bari Weiss as head. Weiss resigned from NYT, citing its “illiberal environment, to start the Free Press, which frequently features transphobic pieces. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Who is Bari Weiss, the right-wing anti-trans queer woman being given the keys to CBS News?

She’s about to control the editorial direction of the once-celebrated network's news.

The fun part about transnational movements like Hindutva that attack scholars is that this happens across multiple countries. For the Weiss’ of the world moaning about being cancelled, this is what actual intellectuals face. Anyway as good a time as any to share www.hindutvaharassmentfieldmanual.org

However, they are weaker than they look…
