    This thread is admirable for many reasons, not least of which is maintaining calmness in the face of absurd claim.https://twitter.com/JeannieSGersen/status/1358267692256493568 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Thread. 1: My colleague Mark Ramseyer @Harvard_Law has written two recent articles that together make clear his view, that well-established historical accounts of atrocities against Korean and other Asian women by Japan during WW II are “historically untrue” and “pure fiction.”

        I have to say, "Korean women under Japanese military occupation weren't forced into prostitution, they just had to fulfill a contractual obligation" is a level of libertarian galaxy brain I didn't even imagine was possible.

        This shld really be seen in the context of the larger absurdity of much of the legal academy in which amateurs freelance in fields they have no expertise in under the imprimatur of elite university distinction. We might call it the Law and Economics Grandiosity Problem.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I'm always fascinated by absurd, relatively esoteric claims like this. Obviously reasonable people can be wrong -- in that they interpret law, evidence, or reason incorrectly -- but when *this* wrong, I have to suspect some sort of emotional investment animating the conclusions.

        Agreed. I also question his detractors who insist on "we disagree" framing when the more accurate frame is "he's wrong but refuses to concede that he's wrong"

        From the Crimson story she mentions: “Asked why he did not cite any Korean sources in the paper, Ramseyer said he is “very upfront” about the fact that he does not read Korean.”
