Dr Julie Chernov Hwang didn't respond to me on Bsky, but only responded to my post on LinkedIn. She claimed that my work had nothing to do with, quite forgetting she had reposted my exact article that discussed the Paragon Siam attack before (clear evidence of consumption).
Which is why it's even more heinous when white women from DC like Julie Chernov Hwang steals my analytical frameworks to preserve their precious regional invites—all built on appropriated labour and erasure of local experts like myself. And I'm not afraid to call it out.

It's really amusing that America is still not seeing the parallel between IOF and DHS.
DHS is actually leaning into the argument that icy pavement is violence against ICE.
Icy pavement in Minnesota in January—truly outrageous.

Here's your weekly reminder that Julie Chernov Hwang is a plagiarist who steals from Southeast Asian researchers while pretending to be an expert on the region.

If you look at fascist participation as collective make-believe (ie people participate through vibes and suspension of disbelief instead of being convinced by evidence and reasoned argument), mockery can be a way to break up the play-act and spoil the game for the participants.
This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

And this just further underlines how stupid these assholes are. Like we don't have to speculate, multiple researchers have established pretty robust evidence that the BLM protests in 2020 hurt Trump and GOP. They're just too high on their own supply to comprehend it.

Every person killed in Palestine (and other occupied territories) by American and Israeli forces was someone with talents, loved ones, and a future that was taken from them.
