People gotta understand that "science" under capitalism is a means of violent control. Research and development is almost entirely directed by interests of "defense"/imperialism and the preservation of capitalism. There's nothing "cool" or smart about these servants in the MIC building missiles, bombs, and whatnot.

Gonna push back on the umbrella term “science”.

“Science” funded using Department of Defense funds are mostly everything you’ve said.

Science funded by the National Institute of Health is required to be publicly available (after a short period of time, journal dependent IIRC) and is going to have reduced funds under this maggot administration.

A general anti-science stance is extremely stupid and how we got to this situation in the first place. Look at the stupid shit anti-renewables people are saying.
