In what way? This is a list of words to identify applications that the Trump admin wants to deny grants to. Isn't that restricting research quite broadly based on very ideological grounds? This isn't about US research priorities, it is just political interference.

- drawkward 2y agoi am curious: do you actually believe the lies that you are parroting? i would hope you were not so easily fooled by these obvious liars.
- lelanthran 2y agoYouvegone through this entire thread calling everyone who points out that the title is misleading gullible or evil. The title is literally different to the article; people complaining that review is not the same as banned aren't evil in the same way that people who complained about master vs main weren't evil.
- drawkward 2y agoIn point of fact, I have been asking whether they are parroting lies or gullible. This type of "review" is simple McCarthyism. DeSantis, in Florida, has shown us how this goes. The Trump admin is doing this on a pretext of removing politics from science, when it is demonstrably injecting politics into science.
- lelanthran 2y agoYeah, but we saw this coming years ago when hordes were cheering actual banning of words. I wasn't the only one on various forums who pointed out to all those cheerleaders in the "main replaces master or you're a nazi" camp that normalizing banning of words can only hurt in the long run. I do not support banning of speech in any but the most extreme cases, but this still uses "review" at least. The previous "master vs main" proponents didn't even bother to pretend that there was any context in which master would be approved. We've been warning for years, stop being so extreme. And now you, too, gets to see the result of normalizing language policing. Enjoy.
- drawkward 2y agoBelieve it or not, while I think that MAGA is on the precipice of turning the USA into a fascist state, I, too, oppose the control of language.
- immibis 2y agoI have never been called a Nazi for having a Git branch called "master". This happening is something right-wingers invented in their minds for reasons yet unknown.
