The Fabric Felt Is Linked to Racism

At this point, anything whatsoever might be denounced as racism — the word “Chinaman,” for example, or even types of fabric. Felt has been targeted by University of Toronto Associate Professor Stephanie Springgay:

In her paper, “‘How to Write as Felt’: Touching Transmaterialities and More-Than-Human Intimacies,” published online in late July by Studies in Philosophy and Education, Springgay suggests that felt, a “dense material of permanently interlocking fibers,” can be linked to racism and capitalism.

“[T]his paper addresses ‘the problem of education’ that is predicated on cis-heteronormative White supremacist settler colonial logics that assume knowledge enters from an outside, that is predicated on progress, and that regulates and violently disavows particular bodies,” it states.

From there, it follows logically that felt is racist.

Vast fortunes pour into academia to fund this worthless gibberish.

Springgay received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for her felt research, she states in the paper. According to her curriculum vitae, Springgay has received $1,244,992 from the council since 2011 for research on various topics.

Astonishingly, taxpayers don’t seem to mind the flagrant way their money is wasted. They actually vote for the thieves who confiscate the wealth they create.

On a tip from 1-Bodhisattva.
