The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard once wrote that there are two ways to be deceived: one is to believe what is not true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. Between 2017 and 2018, around twenty fabricated articles were submitted to a number of respected academic journals. These articles dealt with several topical and controversial subjects, including postcolonial theory, identity politics, queer theory, gender studies, obesity, and sex.
The people behind the “studies” were three left-liberal commentators: James Lindsay, an author with a PhD in mathematics; Peter Boghossian, a philosopher and educator; and Helen Pluckrose, an author and writer. They were concerned about the wave of postmodern nonsense and critical theories* spreading throughout the Western world and beginning to take over schools, government agencies, and politics.

"He met Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler, and he was one of the first to warn about the rise of fascism. Seldes also exposed how moguls in the West early on supported the fascists, but the more he revealed, the more he saw his own work being censored."
