(4,213 posts)There is no room on the Left for anti-science nonsense. We must always be aggressively in support of the facts, the evidence, and scientific advancement. Let the anti-science crowd join their allies on the right.
I think it is legitimate to attack business practices, and have a debate around that. However, there should be zero room for spreading anti-scientific nonsense.
On the right we have the climate change deniers and the anti-stem cell folks. On the left we have the anti-vaxers and the anti-GMO folks. They are two sides of the same anti-scientific coin, and both need to be actively purged from our politics. They are actively responsible for killing people all around the world. Those of us on the Left are anti-War out of concern for the lives of the innocent. However, we sit by and allow these people to cause the death and suffering of millions upon millions--numbers that would make even the most genocidal warlord blush.
