I always wondered how these fascists would directly kill science.
They don’t just kill science: that’s inconvenient and dumb but it can be put on pause fairly safely.
In this case, they’re putting public health in grave danger. That will turn them into literal mass-murderer if a new pandemic takes hold.
I think they liked the results of the pandemic, they want to cause another one. First term I could blame it on incompetence, but this time it’s very intentional.
Science is a tool.
20th century facists used eugenics (which was considered scientifically sound at the time) to argue for genociding disabled people.
With the small caveat that eugenics is not scientific.
It was an extremist interpretation of mendelian genetics. But it was a near dominant view among geneticists at the time.
What’s crazy to me is that eugenics is largely sound… It’s literally a forbidden branch of science not because it’s unscientific, but because our species can’t be trusted with it
So much so that it becomes worthless. Elon Musk is doing his best to spread his genetics, even inappropriately offering up his sperm to female employees… He thinks he’s one of humanities best and brightest. The kedamine addicted failed programmer turned conman, a guy so insecure he faked being good at video games and has created nothing himself, thinks his genes need to be spread far and wide
We are animals, we can indeed be bred for traits like animals, but we’re so bad at evaluating ourselves we literally cannot use this branch of science
Eugenics is not sound because
- It makes moral judgments as to what human traits are desirable and undesirable, which are non-scientific and largely based in prejudice.
- It treats all traits as heritable which neglects socialisation and other complex factors.
Like for example eugenics in the Nazi regime genocided 90% of people with schizophrenia to try and wipe it out. But now, in 2025, schizophrenia rates are largely the same between germany and other western countries, because schizophrenia only has a small heritability factor.
There’s already reporting of a “quademic” currently ravaging the US. Trump just put a gag order on the health departments.
Enter bird flu. That’s a good way to make the earth conveniently depopulated for the Tech Bros to rule over whatever scrap of humanity left.
Their Immortan Joe fantasies always make me think of this:
My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and people in several support groups I follow are now no longer able to participate in trials. These are people whose last hope was a trial; it is absolutely going to kill people.
Wait wait wait…
From TFA:
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health say they can’t purchase critical supplies
In other words, they communicated with the outside in direct violation of His Orangeness’ orders.
Somebody’s gonna get their pink slip soon.
Yeah that’s why they’re all anonymous sources
How much do you bet someone in their organization will rat them out to the Trumpistas to keep their job?
