When you dump chemicals near the homes of poor people, Flint MI, etc.
Could a scientist please explain these scientific issues to me?
so like natural selection? really gets the noggin joggin
are only black people poor? how is dumping chemicals near poor people racist?
Well duh it's real
>>paradigm shift
Literally a paradigm shift

>Though they may agree with me on issues that I view as more important than the ones we disagree on, the ones we disagree on are apparently more important to them, which shifts the focus of the march entirely.
What is going to help with that?
>viciously memeing them for being off topic, contributing to the further obfuscation of the topic and marginalizing what's imporant
or
>keeping them on topic and ignoring the irrelevant behavior, bolstering support for the cause
The answer is obvious
Except for the fact you're nothing but a tool to push their agenda and will be discarded and ignored when they get their way.
I'd rather pressure my congressmen and lobby for better funding than waste an afternoon with rebbitors cosplaying as Rick and Beaker and making popculture/popscience signs.
I wasn't telling you to March, I was telling you not to ridicule the March. Because it further delegitimizes the reason they were marching. It's just pragmatic not to marginalize allies
I would like people to think about science instead of what actually went down
What the fuck is intersexphobia?
>keeping them on topic
This isn't an option, though. For a certain type of people, identity politics IS the topic (regardless of what the context is). You'll never talk sense into them, and marching alongside them will only support their ideology, rather than achieving anything related to science.
>It's just pragmatic not to marginalize
People who insist on turning every rally into identity politics are NOT your allies. They are using the current interest in science to push their own ideology. They are not in any way interested in scientific issues.
Once a cause is infected with these types of people, it's very hard to get it back on track. You're better off pursuing other avenues.
This.
Look at more benign thing's they've infected like video games and movies.
They pretend to like you then once they're good with you they'll turn on you.
They're locusts and I want nothing to do with them especially since I know my field, biology, is next on their list.
