Re: <nettime> science wars replace culture wars as new divider in contem

thanks for your critical remarks. true the fascist cancer hasn't spared neither spain nor portugal, but it seems to me that they are not attracting large numbers of people from other sectors of society as it happens in the rest of continental europe (and canada!) with no vax movements.

best ciaos,

I was going to reply to this too. Yes, in Spain Vox is also quite
representative of the anti-vax movement. Santiago Abascal, its leader,
has refused to say whether he's vaccinated or not: https://cadenaser-com.translate.goog/ser/2021/09/18/sociedad/1631954620_782993.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

This is party that is managing to attract everything that's fringe on
the right and extreme right. One of its representatives in parliament
tweeted "Trust the plan" on Jan 7th 2021:
