The abstract for a new humanities paper published by the former Nazis who now own a surprising chunk of science media (Holtzbrinck Publishing Group) reads like it was created using a postmodernism generator.
Maybe it was. It's hard to imagine a human with any critical thinking let this go by, much less the dreaded Reviewer #2, but a pay-to-publish journal like this Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics is really just "editorial review" - the credit card has to clear and then it gets the same level of scrutiny as a paper about astrology gets in an astrology magazine.
I didn't even know what "settler science" was until I read this, I assumed no one did a spell check before publishing because she also claims shrimp reproduce using "pathogenesis", but then I did a search and it means that science is not science, it is only an opinion framed through colonialism. So if native Americans never learned to read or write 2,000 years after the rest of the world, they were still doing science, and it was probably better than Newton or Darwin, because they were white dudes.
It is all very postmodern, Paul Feyerabend would be proud he has ruined understanding of science in a majority of humanities academics and an alarming fraction of science academics, but all this stuff about hydrosexuality is just gibberish.
But yeah, let's pay off the student loans of the young people going into debt to fund this diatribe against white cis heteronormative whatever, framed through a climate change social justice prism.
