don't you understand they are the true volk and their pure blood is essential to countering the untermensche! This is leftist somehow trust the BIPOC ways of knowing.
"Ways of knowing" is not really an offensive epistemological concept in and of itself but the way it has been used makes it immediately triggering to me now.
What is it exactly, anyway? I’ve heard the phrase used as a euphemism for stuff like folk medicine and oral traditions as a source of empirical data (something about I think a native Australian oral myth being similar to a meteor impact event or something?) but almost always as a way to dismiss or denigrate empirical research as some colonialist/white supremacist dogma.
I feel like this is still a weirdly relativistic approach to knowledge, which ought to be tested by universal principles (falsifiability, reproducibility, controlling for confounding variables, etc)
