You don't even have to read #KOSA when it's authors opemly admit they just want to ban #LGBTQIA* content of any kind from the Internet.

It's #cyberfacism at best if not blatant #facsim and #antiintellectualism with no mask whatsoever.

If they ever cared about children they'd make all education, school lunches and healthcare free for minors!

People acting surprised that there are #vaccine deniers, #flatearth conspiracists, #qanon morons, #election deniers and a general wave of #AntiIntellectualism sweeping America.

What the hell do you expect when you build a society where we're just supposed to accept that 81% of the population believe in an invisible man who lives in the sky who grants wishes? And we're supposed to just pretend this is a valid point of view.

Where does anti-intellectualism come from? It's a mystery!

The trend in our society toward anti-intellectualism is a problem that needs to be tackled globally and with each one of us

Sorry, but if you're antagonistic towards the entire field of #psychology because of the atrocities a minority of its students have committed, I've got some bad news for you about the rest of #science too.

Anti-intellectualism is a sickness that pervades our society, and antagonism towards psychology (a field represented by the principles of science and not by any one of its students because it's not a fucking cult) only spreads anti-intellectualism further.

Can we put our attention on the #racists and other #bigots who use psychology and other #sciences to push their gross, fascistic agendas instead? I feel like that'd be more helpful.

After all, white people didn't invent science. They only fucked it up for two millennia by blending it with their dogmatic religious views, a process that has been reversing since at least the mid-20th century and has allowed for many amazing advancements in technology, treatment, and acceptance of human traits that need no treatment. Science is how we have finally come to know that trans and gay/lesbian people aren't sick, that autism isn't a disorder, and that humans need their basic needs--including the need for self-determination--to thrive.

Let's put our attention on the real enemy: people intent on perverting science by engaging it its literal opposite (pseudoscience) to pursue some gross agenda.

We who get into these fields to help others would appreciate that.

I don't know what happened but YouTube now wants me to watch lots of David Icke and even recommends 'Proof Karma is real' as well as Ben Shapiro. Thank goodness science gets defunded whilst YouTube grows richer 🙄 #algorithm #science #pseudoscience #socialmedia #antiintellectualism #disinformation

Probably an #unpopularopinion but I think #cunkonearth is the wrong thing to do in this age of #anti #intellectualism / #antiintellectualism.

92% of our food is produced by agricultural corporations, not Farmer Brown. This crazed fuQ whore that thinks child molesters are hiding under the floorboards of her porch, but she’s getting paid millions to spew this tripe. https://www.alternet.org/harriet-hageman/ #HarrietHageman #qanoncult #fucktheGOP #theholodomor #antiintellectualism #EnvironmentalInjustice

I have no particular affection for #Birkbeck, having taught there for a spell. But this is another classic example of why technocrats, philistines and bean counters shouldn't be allowed to run #universities.

The reason why Russians fall for any crap is as a result of decades upon decades of neglecting the #humanities in favour of 'practical' subjects.
