Harassment, violence and mud - Digging Aliens 46

Something that's become more and more common on the web is the use of harassment tactics. Skeptics and archaeologists have not been spared from being on the receiving end of these campaigns, so let's have a serious discussion about this. I will look into the harassment campaign by Graham Hancock and Jimmy Corsetti and previous attacks concerning the Bosnian Pyramids [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-20-bosnian-pyramids.html] and Gungun Padang [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-31-ancient-apocalypse-ruins-of-knowledge.html]. I will examine the relationship between the manosphere and pseudo-history and their draw into the alt-right speaking points.

Parts of the section are based on a talk by the president of ESCO [https://www.ecso.org/], Claire Klingenberg [https://www.clairek.com/]. In addition, with the newly released book "The Routledge Companion to Gender, Media and Violence" and Lucy Cookes "Bitch: A revolutionary guide to sex, evolution and the female animal [https://www.amazon.se/-/en/Lucy-Cooke/dp/0857524135]."

Then, we will also look into the Asaro Mudmen and see how quickly a tradition can evolve. Especially when it plays into the Western romanticization of tribal culture. Can a tradition be copyrighted, and can some practices be considered a commodity? These are all valid questions when Asaro is trying to defend a practice that originated in 1950.
