It is a simple and straightforward question that I would like answered. It
makes no inferences about whether recruitment is effective, or even
deliberate rather than aesthetic. But I'm grateful for the evidence you've
furnished, dear, about the way in which women are told to calm down and
shut up, no matter the tone they take, so that those who think women and
black people are less than human and not entitled to take up space can keep
ranting on at length about how everyone other than white guys are less than
human. I mean, I'm grateful that you've illustrated the reason why I asked
this question in the first place. That said, I have no interest in debating
this further.
I simply repeat my question, and would like it answered. Preferably in the
negative. But if in the affirmative, then I would like to suggest that
Nettime be shuttered because any benefit it had for creating a better world
has long past. The world doesn't need a longform version of Gab, or Gab for
that matter.

Alexander Bard is a typical example of a "Querfront" activist, and a member
of this right-wing party:

Thank you very much for doing this Nina. Frankly I was just 'bard stiff'
after reading such flat, leaden prose by someone attempting and failing to
antagonise whilst posing libidinously, apropos of celebrity
https://twitter.com/Bardissimo/status/973224337976315907
Have filtered under BS.
