>>9773045You really are hung up on Watson. I'll repeat myself: he continues to receive a lot of respect in the scientific community for his work, and he actually still has his office in the place where he formerly held an honorary title. He still holds memberships in dozens of associations and learned societies, none of his many, many honorary degrees or awards or honors have been rescinded, and his long bio page at
chsl.edu's library section doesn't even directly mention anything about the controversies he's been involved in. Ditto for many of the bio pages Google yields. This blip in his career is vastly overplayed and exploited, largely by people who don't seem to think about him otherwise.
>I get this feeling that we wouldn't agree on what constitutes extremism or "dehumanization and oppression"Some things would be agreed to fall in that category by everyone acting in good faith. For example, ties to literal neo-Nazis or their organizations, apologia for regimes like those of apartheid in SA, colonialism, or segregation in the USA, support of ethnic cleansing or racial separatism, or persistent refusal to disavow or condemn the above while producing material that could reasonably support or condone them.
