I won't say "less science based" but I will say "mixes science and politics".
For example, there were covid lockdowns because "science" but then if anyone wanted to participate in the George Floyd protests and join a huge crowd of people that was A-OK, no pushback on that, no "scientific" worries about virus transmittal applied.
In that case "science" just becomes another tool to suppress the other side.
- kaibee 2y agoThanks for the reply. I guess I see your perspective, but I kinda just saw that sorta thing as like... fighting for civil rights has always been a dangerous activity? And that specific talking point to me always read like: "Oh I have to wear a mask in a grocery store and can't go to movies, but they're allowed to protest for their civil rights??"
