criticism

Even the mind of a brilliant scientist can be subject to strange aberrations. However, because “also”, it is possible for scientists in the first place to risk getting bogged down in all kinds of academic pseudoscientific conventions that can make even good material seem far-fetched, bizarre and simply propagandistic by the standards of their colleagues. For example, we know that Aleksandr Dugin has many critics, and that's fine: criticism is a pretty sacred thing, but Dugin has even more followers, and the saddest thing is to find them in that very conventional “academic” environment. Okay, fine, when the label of “fascism” itself is tempted to be tacked on to Dugin by the untalented and uneducated Andrew “Herald of the Storm” Rudoy, who recently released an hour-long video on the subject without a single substantive argument or thesis; but when something even remotely similar happens in the scholarly world, it already deserves some critical interest.
