Thank you for this video, I am currently struggling with this very issue 🙏🙏 This afternoon, I just skimmed through the alumni newsletter from a European University I used to attend (mind you, this is the European country that used to colonise my country). All I felt was a sense of dread & second-hand embarrassment as I cringed through Sinophobic retoric, some First World “protest” about education, and ZERO acknowledgement of the fact that Palestinians are being unfairly punished for the Holocaust they're commemorating.... Just very, very disappointing. 🍉💔 Especially after the Islamophobic media propaganda in Amsterdam exposed & even the mayor of Amsterdam backpeddled. They're turning a blind eye on everything-Apartheid, genocide, prejudice-it feels more like conservative media than a newsletter coming out of a critical-thinking academic institution. They're known for their International Law programmes too. And now I'm questioning everything I studied/experienced there & everything I was guided to do there too-I feel betrayed and brainwashed in the worst possible way as somebody from a former colony. You know it's a worthless degree when it's no longer about HOW to think but more about WHAT to think. I feel like distancing myself & “starting a new life”, starting fresh 🍃 and just pretending I never studied/lived there, it's utterly shameful.

The end of academic freedom is not a singular phenomenon. It is part of the restrictions, if not the end of freedom of expression that can be observed especially in the "western" world. It goes to the extreme of banning citizens of the EU from entering particular countries of the EU as is the case with Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek citizen, politician and academic, who is still banned from entering Germany. It reaches as far as military experts in the USA, Canada, the UK and the EU being shunned and excluded from publicly expressing their opinions that are based on personal experience and scholarly research. The term "freedom" has become a sad joke.

Professor Rein Müllerson is practically the only representative of the academic community who has remained faithful to his specialty in the genre of international law. It is certainly not Him, the spiritual light that prevails in Estonia, where a mass political TERROR OPERATION OF "CANCELLATION" is taking place for the so-called public benefit of people. In the first, of course, various personalities in cultural circles are destroyed (musicians, writers, artists, well-known figures in entertainment circles). The liquidation of Rein Müllerson's emeritus status by the emissaries of the government clique is undoubtedly a CRIMINAL act. The only hope that Mr. Professor will wait for his legitimate rehabilitation and will not reach God before that, because ALL HONEST and FAITHFUL people who do not change their SENSE OF TRUTH to the mentality prevailing in adult society will eventually reach there. In Estonia, this has actually been truly SATANIC for many years.... Rein Müllerson has remained true to his SENSE OF TRUTH and unfortunately he is currently the ONLY PERSON who represents such a role in his academic circle. Respect and honor for that to him...!😇✌👋
