Yeah, just like McClintock was known for her wildly racist views. Along with Watson and Crick - that whole "DNA is important" was just a ruse to get the redliners out. And who could forget Einstein? Only tools know the Theory of Relatively has anything to do with physics.
And anyone who uses the term "settled science" doesn't understand what science is

- passwordoops 3y agoI've met people IRL with these views... "Science Fundamentalists" who replace their lost religious dogma with Science and who have no concept that everything we know right now is the best possible explanation with the data we have available, and that it could fall apart with a single new data set or proof. The "racist dog whistle" is new though, so I hope you're right about the satire
- justinhj 3y agoCalling something a racist dog whistle is just a way to bully people into silence
- goatlover 3y agoIndeed and I have no idea what it has to do with questioning "The Science". Is that like "The Truth" or something?
- teh64 3y agoIt is "satire", because no one actually talks like this on the left wing. Its very obviously a right winger who thinks this is what the left sounds like.
- justinhj 3y agoWhat about Newtons laws of motion? Settled science? Was it racist to come up with a more accurate model?
