- epistasis 10y agoNever said it was, and In fact I encounter all sorts of science denial from the left. However these people have no sway over the party and the party leaders disagree. At this moment in time, the leadership of one party is actively hostile to the pursuit of truth, and they must be held accountable instead of it bein whitewashed with false equivalences.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Everyone does it. Like, say, acting out of internalized ethnic bias, everyone does it, but not everyone does it equally, and that everyone does it to some extent is no reason not to call out the KKK (or their anti-science analogs) as a particular problem.
- r_smart 10y agoAnything to get a reference to Hitler or the KKK in, eh?
