The whole article is quite funny, especially the lists of most used tankie words, or the branding of foreignpolicy as a left-wing news source.

holy shit you weren’t joking, if you ctrl+f lemmygrad we appear in it lmao
edit: I still can’t believe this is real, which one of you wrote this paper??
We made it comrades, we’re going to get banned from flights
no but it’s the funniest thing, it was written by 2 randos from some backwater uni in new york state (not the city), and a third co-author from Cyprus (??? why), and published on arxiv.org which is:
Meaning they found whoever would publish them without asking questions.
Like this thing says the word tankie 71 times, which is an average of 2.5 per page, of course they would not have been published anywhere else lol. If I was their uni honestly I would give these students a talking to because it would reflect really badly on my reputation to let them publish this drivel.
Best part is these mfs are prolly reading us shitposting about them now
don’t say shitposting, you’re gonna add an instance of severe toxicity

Tankie
Time to go for the SEVERE_TOXICITY high score:
Amerikkka is run by fascist Yankees, and Mayo Blinken is the Secretary of Legitimizing Imperial Conquest.
Actually, the authors of this are professors from that university, lmao.
They were even given some grants and awards.
Arxiv and similar services are mostly used in actual academic circles to publish pre-prints or just to get articles out there while they’re still being reviewed by actual journals, so it’s possible that this will be published in a journal at some point.
Many papers published as pre prints in arxiv never make it out of there, there’s too much rubbish in the academic world, just like this article. And not only in the social sciences, I’ve seen plenty of bad papers in chemistry and biology there too.
ArXiv doesn’t filter anything afaik (or maybe they have policy against really egregious stuff). If you take a peek at their mathematics section, any nutjob who think he’s solved the collatz conjecture can export their microsoft word ramblings to PDF and publish it on ArXiv.
ArXiv does have value because journals overcharge authors for publishing, overcharge other researches for access to journals, hold strict opinions on what they will or will not publish or censor, among other complains. ArXiv levels the playing field a bit by being basically fancy PDF file hosting. Not every valuable piece of thought comes from a “prestigous university”, and restricting access to knowledge is overall a bad thing.
lol, I never read papers anywhere else for my work. ArXiv may suck if you wanna go looking at random, but it’s invaluable to be able to read the actual legit stuff in preprint form on there.
It actually has “tankie” 399 times or more than 10 times per page.
