One of the biggest frustrations I have when talking to my normie liberal friends is their firm belief that Trump and MAGA are destroying science.
Liberals, you see, are pro-science, and conservatives are pro-ignorance or something.
Hogwash. The problem isn't that conservatives have become more skeptical about the value of science; it's that we have seen what liberals call "science" and concluded that it is bulls**t.
It IS cow manure.
🚨BREAKING: @Nature has just published one of the most insane papers imaginable. In woke studies, “feminist queer crip theory” leads the pack in terms of derangement.

But Nature has now embraced it, publishing an autoethnographic paper about “crip guts,” “queer stoma pride,” the… pic.twitter.com/MdprVLEMzR
A real quote from the paper:
“I was processing some memories around my gut condition and became overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It felt ridiculous explaining to the (English) therapist what had come up because the only way I could describe it was famine grief. The Irish Famine of the 1800s is of course before my time, but in that therapy session I felt overwhelmed with a grief that felt larger than my own. I made sense of this feeling through the framework of intergenerational trauma and described it as feeling the pain of the famine lingering in my guts.”
The author calls for “queer stoma pride,” which celebrates “the leakiness of bodies which disrupt boundaries” and “requires more collective and relational modes of knowledge production which value embodied experiential knowledge, holistic healing, and reject the idea that normality is a neutral desirable location.” It further “focuses on imaginings of alternative, more expansive bodily futures which foreground agency and a joyous plurality of bodies beyond category, refusing the idea that non-normative bodies are a site of unwantedness.”
She hopes that the concept of “crip guts” will “disrupt epistemic injustice and challenge Western biomedical models of knowledge production,” though she gives no concrete instructions about how that looks in practice.
Ultimately, she says “queer stoma pride” is “about talking about poop at conferences and in journal articles,” and “revelling in not being normal, being unexpected or disruptive, and rejecting colonial, queerphobic and ableist discourses around returning to normal, passing as normal, and aiming for normal, as if normal was ever a good thing.”
Modern academia has gone down the path laid out by David Burge years ago.
Americans have long appreciated the value of science and education, and far more than almost any other group of people in the world, or in history.
That's why cultural Marxists targeted academia for takeover in the first place, and in this, they have been very successful. So successful, in fact, that they have gained control over trillions of dollars and the educational infrastructure that is turning our younger generations into ignorant hysterics with zero common sense.
All it takes is the most cursory examination of our science journals, academic curricula, and even medical training to see that science has been corrupted to the extent that it is almost impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Journals such as Nature—once the most prestigious journal in the world—now produce papers explaining "Queer Crip Theory," which is much worse than nonsense. This article didn't appear under the flagship title "Nature," thank God, but was published under its larger umbrella of science journals.
There are entire books covering "Queer Crip Theory," and such concepts make their way into biology and medical curricula, along with discussions about "Indigenous science" and the ever-present Critical Race Theory/social justice BS.
Once these concepts become widely discussed in the "scientific" community, they enter the public consciousness.

None of this has anything to do with science. It is "scientism," which amounts to legitimizing absurdities or political positions by "sciencewashing" them. Gender ideology is taken seriously at all simply because "scientists" have sold absurdities to the public.
Before the late 18th century, Western science recognized only one sex—the male—and considered the female body an inferior version of it. The shift historians call the “two-sex model” served mainly to reinforce gender and racial divisions by tying social status to the body. (6/7) pic.twitter.com/x8KZ5rEaeW

No, Scientific American. Human beings have been aware of sexual dimorphism since we had multiple brain cells that fired in concert.
None of this is harmless. Not only does this crap science cause immense damage through justifying insanity, it also undermines our ability to make rational decisions based on actual science. If doctors start taking seriously the idea that a racial memory of a famine centuries ago could cause intestinal problems today, we might as well try Voodoo.
We expect this nonsense in Queer Feminist classrooms, but in Nature?
By now we should. Nature has been identified, killed, gutted, and now worn as a skin suit by cultural Marxists.
