I recently saw Jordan Peterson share that an edited version of a portion of Mein Kampf had been submitted to a feminist journal and accepted (although I think it didn’t make it to publication)

Then he twitted this article that I found interesting:

The Grievance Studies Scandal: Five Academics Respond - Quillette

Which begins thusly

Editor’s note: For the past year scholars James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian have sent fake papers to various academic journals which they describe as specialising in activism or “grievance studies.” Their stated mission has been to expose how easy it is to get “absurdities and morally fashionable political ideas published as legitimate academic research.”

To date, their project has been successful: seven papers have passed through peer review and have been published, including a 3000 word excerpt of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, rewritten in the language of Intersectionality theory and published in the Gender Studies journal Affilia.
