"PMC are working class" lol ok Hexbear, just try and do some science at your local university! I bet these class traitors won't even let you in the library unless you own some property or are a business person (well maybe you can get in because Hexbear is a PMC website, these redditors have those privileges and powers which normal workers do not)
medieval Euro-Christians: (a proto-fascist conglomeration of monarchy/feudalism and their religious counterparts)
Modern liberals: (the same thing but it's ruled by bourgeoisie instead of kings, and the religious dogmas come from Malthusian eugenics like "being fat is evil because it takes up our precious resources", "giving food to the third world is bad because they become dependent on aid, please ignore our glowie role in the ongoing genocides of these famine stricken countries. Our understanding of economics might be literally 200 years old, but we're actually woke progressives who want to uplift humanity!!! Trust our religious dogma, or else be excommunicated from our grifting"
As a PMC university researcher, I’ll say it’s actually not the research that they’re stifling. It’s the implementation.
We literally do not need to do more science to improve the world. Essentially all of our immediate problems can be solved based on what we know. Liberals and their chud “enemies” just refuse to enable the solutions. My worldview is so pessimistic that I try to do research that will hopefully sidestep the prevarications in the meantime.
Unbelievably frustrating to see my colleagues still think they’re saviors, when they don’t even realize we’re all just brainwashed cover for rich trustees plundering the earth.
