Another one of these? It’s kind of entertaining right now to read this stuff about us, but if too many of these show up it might get burdensome.
edit: a bunch of communities they listed I have literally never seen. Have they conflated lemmygrad.ml with lemmy.ml?
It’s the same “researchers” as last time, they’re just republishing the original terrible paper in different ways, I guess to ride the grant money as far as they can? Their dataset even stops in 2022 despite this being a 2024 paper, it’s literally the longer paper but rehashed 🤦
Gonna start asking these bozos for a stipend if they’re gonna use my comments like that
Before you do can you find the Anarchists they say are here but provide no evidence are here.
I’m not sure what this paper is even trying to say aside from “when GenZedong was banned they came to Lemmygrad”. Well yeah? People don’t disappear from existence because you banned their hangout spot, they’ll just start hanging out elsewhere. Didn’t need a 50k research grant for that, I could have told you for 20k lmao.
Our analysis shows that Lemmygrad.ml’s top two communities, c/genzedong and c/genzhouarchive, are associated with tankie subreddits, r/GenZedong and r/GenZhou.
Oh shit they’re onto us
Anyone know what the “ridic, fkn, scheme” keywords apply to? I thought I was the only Pitch Black fan around here
Anyone know what the “ridic, fkn, scheme” keywords apply to?
I think they don’t even know themselves and that’s why they didn’t even attempt to explain that table lol. Lots of junk data. It might have come from the r/genzhou port, which they also should have removed from their dataset as it’s an outlier.
Our manual inspection on the banners of these sub-reddits finds that they fit Peterson’s description of contemporary tankies (Petterson 2020)
Christ this is some slop
Im not one to normally nitpick spelling but ‘peterson’ and ‘petterson’ without later citing the work; they asume we know who it is. Ctrl+f ‘peterson’ and its not even in the references so we’re just meant to guess.
im assuming thats jordan peterson too, trash paper lmao
Edit:
Found it
Petterson, C. 2020. Apostles of Revolution? Marxism and Biblical Studies. Brill research perspectives in biblical interpretation, 4(1): 1–80.
Its not jordan peterson, source is the church.
Cited literally twice
Marxist analysis of the bible is spreading, but clarity about what constitutes Marxist readings and Marxist categories of analysis is lacking. This lack of clarity is compounded by the different strands and factions within Marxist politics, which have subtle resonances in biblical scholarship. These issues are canvassed in the first part of the article. The major focus of the article, however, is the collaboration between biblical studies and liberal ideology, which is examined in two ways. First, by presenting and discussing some of the central Marxist categories of analysis, namely history, ideology and class, and how these categories have been co-opted into biblical studies and in the process lost their radical edge. Second, by discussing the emergence of the discipline of biblical studies during the Enlightenment, and to what extent the containment strategies of biblical studies overlap with those of liberalism and capitalism
The stunning thing about this though is they reference the definition used here, but dont actually provide it. I’d need to go ahead and actually read it if I want to know. Im no longer an academic so dont have acsess to the free paper portals and im not paying 80 dollars to verify a 4 page slop piece. Its still up in the air if the person they are quoting even actually tried to define a ‘tankie’ or if the researcher is just pulling shit out of there ass.
