An ongoing Zionist pressure campaign against Australian universities has resulted in government recommendations for an investigation. The resulting inquiry will put academia under constant political scrutiny in defense of Zionism.

    But we already dismantled academic freedom to stop it criticizing China!

      What? Why would the Australian state stop academics from criticizing China when it’s busy manufacturing consent for war with China? I’m sure it’s very much encouraging academia to criticize China.

        Has nothing to do with international politics or government diplomacy…

        … it’s coming from the universities themselves, because they’re run as private businesses already, and they service the needs of international students as their primary income.

        Which means some censorship of Chinese political history. Eg. Tianamen.

          This is wrong on so many levels 😂 If you’re this propagandized, then I’m sure you don’t know what actually happened in and around Tiananmen Square, which by the way is not even censored in China like we’re always told.

            Good luck with that, reporter.

            Those aren’t Australian universities, what are you even on about? China doesn’t even have YouTube.

            …also none of them are recent.

            Here you go: Chinese censorship on Australian Universities, 2021, by Reuters:

            https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinese-censorship-surveillance-found-australian-universities-rights-group-2021-06-29/

            You know… The actual topic… from somewhere actually relevant.

              These kinds of news articles are an example of how universities are being increasingly pressured by state actors to be more critical of China.

              High numbers of Chinese students at Australian universities have created an environment of self-censorship with lecturers avoiding criticism of Beijing and Chinese students staying silent in fear of harassment, Human Rights Watch said.

              Human Rights Watch’s core mission is to publish negative propaganda about states that the US wants to have regime changed. The purpose of this article is to put pressure on universities to get in line with the new cold war.

                … you’re posting a podcast titled “CitationS Needed” that’s clearly trying to pass its self off as famous YouTuber Tom Scott’s “Citation Needed” (no plural) and it features Trump supporter, Glenn Greenwald (his fall from grace and later support of Trump is well documented, up there with Michael Moore, and Matt Tabili).

                https://link.motherjones.com/public/35592388

                It’s pretty sad that this is your idea of media literacy - name swapped podcasts and deadbeat Trump supporters.

                Who did I present as evidence again? A small news agency known as Reuters? …and your idea of media litteracy is - a podcast pretending to be a more famous podcast.

                  This amounts to a conspiracy theory. It’s a completely different kind of format and the hosts introduce themselves up front. If it’s a knock-off, it’s not a very effortful one. You’d probably have an easier time saying they stole the name, because it’s a very good name.
