      The people who get into education and teaching more often than not don’t care about education, what they care about are politics and furthering their ideology. They know the most effective way to do that is to control what is taught.

      Still looking for the people who gave a fuck about George Washington cutting down a tree

    6. That’s a very common conspiracy theorist talking point. Robert Maxwell didn’t have a monopoly in science, his publication wasn’t the only one either. This is how conspiracy theorists sow doubt in the so-called establishment to feed shitty theories like electric universe flat earth etc. Pergamon Press wasn’t the only publisher, nature and science are the best two journals in the world who started way before Pergamon.

    7. I may require context, all I’m getting from the comments is that this is related to academic publishing and it’s a negative thing?
