what bullshit. It is amazing to me that you can get suspended for saying that a nationality of people shouldn’t be treated as subhuman.
But the suspended Dr does have questionable taste in posters given that he retweeted Shaun “the grifter” king

I feel like Shaun king posts get retweeted and shared because they're easier to find / more detailed, especially early on. The reason why I heard about this was because someone I follow (who also doesn't follow Shaun king) shared a shaun king post on their story.
So I try to separate people that re-share his stuff, from the guy himself
I'll be honest though, I don't know much of the controversy around Shaun King. I have heard people referencing issues like this but I didn't follow up properly
The dude just loves to grift. Starts projects, raises big money, then the project ends in disaster.
Someone should add this to Dr. Yoni Freedhoff's Wiki page since it's clear they created it themself—classic academic..
I didn't notice that, a lot of professors do have Wikipedia pages but this one reads like a resume/cover letter. Also the sources don't really match what's written; they're related but not to some statements being made
Well, that's embarrassing. Especially as we have trouble finding doctors for everyone.
It's family medicine too
Dr. Ge grew up in Waterloo, Ontario, and is a family medicine physician and a resident physician in his fourth year of residency training
Yoni Freedhoff is an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa
This controversy has been a bit unique in that people are being canceled in both directions. In a way it's actually a good thing, since it shows that debate and democracy are at least alive. You could say we shouldn't cancel people at all, but then I don't really want the guy with a swastika face tattoo being in charge of anything important. Maybe there needs to be some kind of canceling rules, haha?
FYI, the blog post starts with accusations of "equating Zionism with the genocide of Palestinians" and "using the 'from the river to the sea' chant", which are not universally agreed to be antisemitic at all, even if you don't agree with them.
