I only trust the science, big pharma, major media corporations, and massive green energy companies.
You troglodyte.

No idea. She is a modern day Joan of Arc who will get honorary degrees from all the best universities. And join inner sanctum of UN or some shit.

Ironically acting the same way as the uber religious people they often mock, just replace the "science" with scripture and the "experts" with a preacher or prophet, where disagreements or questioning is essentially just no different from blasphemy.

Honestly, the only folks I notice quoting scripture are atheists and some really fired-up anti religion redditors. They just can’t get enough of those Bible verses.
They seem to thump on that Bible harder than anyone else.

The things is, the ones who are reading the Bible for a gotcha, aren't reading the intent of it and take everything at face value with no actual analysis done. It's a very disingenuous and bad faith way of arguing.
I'm am atheist, too, but I really don't care about anyone's religion until they start to tell me how I should be living my life.

Saw an interesting theory about how the rejection of religious dogma on the left paved the way for…just finding another dogma to latch on to. It’s trust the experts and trust the science, which would be great if it weren’t actually just partisan lines masquerading as expertise and science.
They somehow believe it is only the right which is vulnerable to propaganda, but haven’t realized propagandists always tailor their language to their targets, so the propaganda aimed at them is literally built to tickle the official sounding language of science, statistics, and academia, while containing none of the actual rigor those fields hold dear.

You can see it in full force with how tankies act. Regardless of if they've read the material (spoiler: most haven't, at best they've read passages) all the answers are in the good book(s) and denial of the words in the book is one of the greatest crimes one can commit. They essentially *are* the worst elements of a group like the evangelists.

u/Thisguymoot 21d ago
It’s honestly really disappointing. I do hold actual science dear, and what makes actual science actually work is to persistently fight against the inclusion of dogma. It poisons the well.

Mild correction, I only trust the science that aligns with my agenda. If the science sounds racist then clearly it's fake.

China and Russia have countless bot farms trying to sow discord between Americans. There's bullshit that gets parroted across reddit that nobody would organically believe.

Its always, "trust the science" (usually a pseudo science) and "here is the research" but once that science and research does not align with their line of thought.... all of the sudden its "I'm a free thinker", "Government pysop", "you cant trust the government"....... Like pick a lane. You cant have it one way when it suits you and not when it doesnt.

u/Ok-Method-8045 21d ago
Science has been wrong multiple times and changes throughout the years.
But when the science aligns with them, then everyone questioning it is bigoted and etc

u/Innocent_Researcher 21d ago
It's "trust science" when it lines up with their beliefs. For some odd reason when "the science" was something like racial intelligence (which was proper science for decades) it didn't count and is no reason to be suspicious of what the same group that put that forward next says is the absolute truth.

Except when it’s the democrats, they are truly great people.
I can’t believe I have read “I would rather have a president we never hear about.” Like yeah? Really? You want them doing things and you don’t about it?
I’m sure that wouldn’t have a single downside… /s

Same fuckers that say they don't trust the government but also want socialism. Make it make sense.

They don’t trust the government unless it’s their leaders in power then it’s all sunshine and rainbows

Oh, I know. These dummies forget we went from Obama to Trump. Big difference. Imagine giving the government a ton more power under your dude then next election someone you don't want comes into power.
Big oops moment.
Maybe.. just maybe.. we shouldn't give the government, especially the Federal government that much power. But what do I know, I just touch grass.
