I agree, it all comes from the same place.

I like the spastic tube meme.

I also should point out that it isn’t an issue of left or right, but rather an issue of control.

Science has no boundaries. The truth does not come from one race. The laws of nature do not vote or care one whit what humans wish they would be. They just are. Any science that has to apologize for what just is, must fail from the outset.

The Russians had there share of state accepted science.

The Church… Galileo, rhythm methods, evolution denial and an endless list.

The Nazis had “Aryan science” and an order to eliminate “Jewish science.” The Russians wanted to eliminate “Jewish science” as well. Landau pointed out that without “Jewish science,” the Russians would have no science. The Russians were a little smarter about that than the Germans - who arguably lost the war because many of the cutting edge people in radar, code breaking, proximity fuses and a host of other war toys - not to mention the atomic bomb, were Jews making “Jewish science.”

And now the GOP…

They have GOP accepted science, which is any “science” that promotes their agenda.

In all of these cases, the measure of science is not truth, or data or independent lines of reasoning. There are no careful calculations. Often there are no calculations at all.

All there is are lies to push a social order based on control. Yet, they call it “science” to usurp the authority of carefully uncovered truths.

Ultimately, this is why the truth will always be the enemy of the totalitarian.
