Mike Cernovich is helping gin up the mob against one Flint Dibble, linking to someone contrasting Dibble to politically-compromised Peter Hotez. I don't follow Dibble, myself (Colavito-bro, here); the claim is that Dibble is blocking work on Gunung Padang, the Sundaland's answer to Baalbek (and not to Gobeklii Tepe). Funny, Dibble doesn't look Javanese or even Dutch.
In Colavito's circle Dibble is most-known for beating the pants off Graham Hancock; some months after said ass-spanking, Hancock cried about it.
As for Gunung Padang: again, I am not doubting the intelligence of ancient Southeast Asians - on water. But the Hancockians're talking about deep inland. Since I posted on this topic in late 2023, the paper scored a headline in... Retraction Watch. I wasn't aware that Dibble was such a dark jedi lord to stop research on the other side of the flat earthglobe. One learns a lot from CernoTwitter, I guess.
