Fascist Science Is Always Reproducible

The "reproducibility crisis" is being weaponized

One of the goals of fascism is to sideline the truth-tellers in society — professional journalists, scientists, experts, and judges, just to name a few. The Trump Administration is going at it hard and openly, even trying to claim that critiquing them by calling them “fascists” is a predictable move by people who don’t want to be held to account. Again, trying to sideline the truth-tellers by owning every angle, per this weekend message about science from your favorite danger to democracy, and mine, Jimmy David (JD) Vance:

The old tactic is to attack science as partisan via his voting pattern swipe — as if voting however you choose is undemocratic. (Only a fascist would say that, Jimmy David.)

The new tactic is to attack science because of the so-called “reproducibility crisis,” which their conspiracy-first communication habits portray as a grift perpetrated by elites and scientists to generate papers with claims that mean nothing, feather nests, and don’t matter.
