    Megan MacKenzie, the more junior author (at the time a senior lecturer), received calls threatening her with consequences for her career.

    Why only mention the more junior author? Did the senior authors not get targeted? Did they receive different threats? There’s definitely an implication here and I’d rather not assume… :/

    And how “funny” - when “outed” (and were they?) for being biased, the reaction was to be an absolute turd? Ugh.











  • I think you missed the point.

    OP thinks their life isn’t impacted by politics. Other users are telling them their whole life is controlled by politics, and installing a dictator can have significant flow on effects on day to day life. They’ve already said they aren’t well off, so economic turmoil can mean their father has to exit retirement, amongst other possibilities.

    That, and it’s so very conservative to only care when something affects oneself directly… (The OP, that is)
