R9, it's another attempt at co-opting progressive sensitivities into potentially harmful/destructive paths. Like the protestors who gather for a peaceful demonstration until some of them heed the troll voices on Twitter urging them to burn it all down.
It's not originating with progressive sources, but with impersonators from the far-right, frequently from overseas. Violent or destructive rhetoric is key to identifying it.
See the Seattle Times article, business/technology, titled "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩." (It won't link here.)

Not trolling at all, R47.
It's no coincidence that Darwin grew up in Adam Smith's England. His notion of 'survival of the fittest' is an adaptation of the invisible hand of the market, applied to biology. Darwinism as widely professed is an historical story, it is not a hard science. It is closer to Rudyard Kipling than it is to Newton or Einstein. It is unfalsifiable -- meaning it lacks the primary criterion to be a real science. Karl Popper wrote extensively on this.
One needn't be a fundie to say these things; one need only be decently educated and think a little.

When the statue-toppling frenzy started here in the UK, I did wonder if some of the protesters (at least, the white ones) were jumping on the bandwagon out of frustration at three months of lockdown. Suddenly they had a "noble" reason to mingle with other people, vent their anger, etc. - and they knew that the police were reluctant to intervene, because the protests were sparked by police brutality in the first place.

The museum will most likely 'review' this by tweaking a bit of label text or shifting things around in a case - I work in a big museum and this sort of things happens all the time and isn't that new. The Press strike the appropriate position for their demography , there is a bit of Twitter fuss then it all dies down. Often the museum is just doing something it would do anyway, but takes the opportunity to negate a bit of controversy. My museum recently moved something from being free-standing into a case, to help conservation and also reduce the risk of woke vandalism, while it publicly talked about reviewing and updating. Easy win.

R55 is correct. But I do wish to point out that the Telegraph being referred to as "right-wing" and therefore "unreliable" above is a typical example someone making accusations whilst not seeing the beam in his own eye.
The Telegraph is a broadsheet, and a respected one, and one of Britain's oldest newspapers. It is centre-right, not the Express, the SUN, the Mirror, or the Mail, and is no more "unreliable" for being centre-right than the Independent is for being well to the left of centre. I could of course bring up the BBC, which charges a heft licence fee from everyone regardless of political persuasion whilst forcing its own increasingly biased agenda down everyone's throat.
Respected professional journalists work for the Telegraph - which, by the way, in the interests of free speech, took down its paywall this weekend to counteract those far-left "champions of the truth" in Extinction Rebellion who cut off the means of distributing the print version.
But that's the far left for you (and there are rising complaints even within ER about infiltration of the far left): "unreliable".
The Telegraph is no less reliable than other self-pronounced media outlets with biases: The Guardian, the Independent, the New York TIMES.

R60 - read the post again. No one mentioned "quality". The issue was "reliability" on the basis of political bias.
As for Boris and BREXIT - yes, the Telegraph is pro-Brexit. It's also had several pieces up in recent days criticising Boris' handling of the pandemic AND the trade talks - the headline this morning was that a high-ranking member of the Civil Service quit over Johnson's mutterings about tearing up the Withdrawal Bill.
But then, you wouldn't have noticed articles critical of Johnson in the Telegraph, would you?
You're proving my point: all an entity needs to be is in disagreement with your political viewpoint and it is, ipso facto, "unreliable".

The BBC held an 'avoiding racial bias' training session with their on-air talent
The purpose of the session was to avoid using certain words or phrases
A total of 450 people from broadcasting took part, Sportsmail understands
The BBC held an 'avoiding racial bias' training session with their sports commentators on Tuesday, listing the words and phrases which they must avoid during the new season.
'Cakewalk', 'nitty gritty', 'sold down the river' and 'uppity' were among those on the banned list, Sportsmail can reveal, along with 'blackballed', 'blacklisted', 'black mark' and 'whiter than white'.
Those tuning into the webinar were also warned about how describing black players as having 'pace' and/or 'power' could see them 'fall into the trap of racial stereotyping'.
On describing a player as having 'pace and power', the guide added: 'Is there a danger of spreading a perception that black players' success is purely based on their athleticism and doesn't require hard work and intelligence? Do you need to spend more time thinking about how to explain the variety of reasons for a black player's success?'

The BBC extorts a fairly high licence fee from everyone, therefore it has a duty to balance in reporting. Instead, it took the money and then set itself up as the Woke Czar of Culture in Britain. It's reportage is heavily slanted, and it stocked panels on BREXIT before and after the referendum with Remainers, something it later admitted doing.
The BBC is like the monarchy: if it doesn't maintain at least a pretence of balance, it forfeits its right to taking EVERYONE's money and asserting that it has some special place in the nation's culture.
The Telegraph has never pretended to be anything but the centre-right newspaper it has always been. It doesn't take a broad-based license fee, and it is neither a tabloid nor Breitbart.
If you want to dance, you have to pay the band. The BBC, like Harry and Meghan, needs either to forego public funding, in which case it can get as political as it likes, or realise that with public funding, it has a duty to the public to fulfill the requirements of balance.
As it is, the BBC has made a complete arse of itself in recent years, its integrity is in shreds in the mind of the public, and the licence fee is teetering on a precipice of anger.
Except, of course, amongst the Woke who believe everything it says and does.
Oddly, the Telegraph has no such woes to contend with. Anyone is free to read it, disagree with it, not read it, not pay for it, etc.

R74 - Open a history book. Feudalism of one form of another was the norm throughout human history until, in the West, after the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Or did you suppose that China and the Sultans of the Middle East or the Pharoahs were all leaders of democracies? It was all authoritarian leaders, state religion, etc.
In the West, it was the rise of monotheism and, particularly, Christianity, that cancelled female gods - the Church built its temples right over former pagan temples and the Horned God became Satan.
And unless you're speaking of Jews, "minorities" as we understand the term today was a meaningless term. The only real marginalised minority were Jews.
Female gods which is to say, paganism, and the Old Religion (which, oddly hangs in bits in some rural parts of Europe), were cancelled by monotheism and its three primary branches, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Well, we can now add David Hume, Father of the Enlightenment and probably one of the greatest intellectual minds Scotland ever produced, to the Cancelled. University of Edinburgh removed his name from (it must be said, an atrociously hideous modern) building because 260 years ago Hume was, as was the entire rest of the British Isles, fine with the slave trade. The removal was due to a petition with less than 2,000 signatures on it by a group of moronic snowflakes without an iota of historical perspective.
The new address is 4 George Square. The "George" stands for George Floyd, a man whose death may have been tragic and murderous, but who was still a man with a criminal record, who had no relationship to Scotland or Scottish history or Scottish culture whatsoever, who has made no contribution whatsoever to life and thought in Scotland.
The decision has brought major jeers and backlash, and a photo in yesterday's article showed a group of grinning students with their fists in the air smiling victoriusly.
David Hume - Father of the Enlightenment (whether you agree with everything he asserted or not). Replaced by an American criminal of no achievements whatsoever except to be fortuitously killed by an American police officer and provide a convenient motive for pulling entire cultures down.
The University of Edinburgh, like so much of the test of the lunatic pandering going on in Britain right now, is just another lemming heading joyfully off the cultural cliff, patting itself on the back as it heads down to the rocks below, for being so virtuous.
