Thorsten J. Pattberg

Thorsten J. Pattberg (born 1977 in Hamm) is a German philologist and cultural critic from Peking University.

[1] Pattberg's research focuses on Translation Studies, in particular linguistic imperialism, the competition between cultural key terminologies, and the resulting sovereignty over the definition of thought.

[2] Pattberg uses his personal blog to spread conspiracy theories, as well as antisemitic, homophobic, racialist and racist views.

For instance, he describes East Asian people as “extreme outliers in cognitive abilities.” He further claims that mass migration from Africa will set European “civilization back to the neolithic age.” He describes European and American countries as “terror states”, as “most censorious and domineering”, and their “caged people” as receiving “Jewish marching orders.”[3] His Twitter account links the supposed “Great Reset” to Hitlerism and likens LGBT parenting to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Pattberg writes anti-Western propaganda for China Daily,[10] Beijing Review, Global Times and other state media, claiming, among other things, that "no power in history has ever attained greatness by being a democracy.
