Enough braying
The only “capitalism” in Europe is of Lenin’s “state capitalism” model.
Denouncing science is a stupid place to start a political screed.
Especially since it was the Marxists that attempted and continue to attempt to steal the banner of science (i.e. real science, from the religious who believe in and look to God) and apply it to their pseudoscientific quackery.
Excellent...akin to the definition of cultural Marxism.
“Cultural Marxism” is a redundant term since Marxism is an attack on culture by definition.
Marxism has been a very costly set of errors.
When has Marx ever been RIGHT???
Actually, it’s pseudoscience that is being politicized. Since real science gives data that is not politically correct, they don’t want aught to do with it.
Marxists always end up resorting to murder, intimidation or mass incarceration to impose their mandates. Mao and Stalin killed probably near one hundred million which the new left never mentions. Marxists consider it to be justified by the nobility of their intentions.
If? IF?
That cretin did a pretty good job of being wrong about everything.
“Science for the past hundred years has been more wrong than right.” And so on, repeated & paraphrased for several paragraphs. Yes, I get he’s about the politicization but that must be made properly clear.
You lost me as soon as you started talking about leaded gasoline. First, lead wasn’t taken out of gasoline to reduce lead exposure, it was taken out because the chemical additive fouls catalytic converters that clean the unburnt by products of combustion. As a person who hates driving behind old, pre-catalytic cars because they all stink I am glad of it. The relatively clean air around cities today compared to 40 years ago is at testament to the value of taking out lead and adding catalysts.
The reduction of environmental lead was a happy by-product of that change which has had it own beneficial results. Lead is toxic to the nervous system. I work in a lead acid battery factory and we take lead exposure very seriously, monitoring every employee, even those of us us in the offices, regularly. In children the effects are pronounced at much lower levels than adults so as a parent I am very happy that particulate exhaust and road dust are not a source of lead for my children.
I stopped reading at that point. If you are going to bring up something tangential to your point, at least get your facts straight so you don’t ruin your credibility up front.
As opposed to our Founders who built a government designed to make the individual and his freedom as the center of the government. Hence, ''We the People.''
Sadly, people have forgotten our true American nature.
“Science” is now political; scientists spend much of their time recruiting public and private research grants. To get the grants, they must present liberal ideas that the American people have been led are true. In fact, such ideas are “unscientific”!!! I don’t think the American people will ever catch on the duplicity.
I have my facts straight, how about you?
I will accept your apology although I think you have other issues with this and you were just trying to shut me up.
Some popular liberal Americans in particularly have long admired Mao if not Stalin. They don’t know any better.
