Is being against identity politics a loser trait? I feel like you can tell a person is a loser by adhering to it...

What people are saying seems to be something like the following:

From my experience real leftists that are into anti-racist and feminist activities are perfectly fine with class struggle. The ones I've dealt with all agree that the destruction of the class system will alleviate a lot of what they are railing against. Although some artifacts from the old society will persist.

Class focused people only run into trouble when we belittle the things people are doing. Like, yeah, BLM isn't going to bring about the end of capitalism but that doesn't mean that reforming the police isn't something that will help a lot of proles in the immediate future. Solely class focused leftists should be lending support to these movements to build solidarity which can make the difference between someone being open to listening to you or not. We should be ready to talk about class without hijacking what they are doing. Class consciousness should develop organically. It shouldn't feel like a hostile takeover.

Or, you know, he could fucking stop posting

The one and only problem with that post is that it ignores class interests. Tyson is saying here that politics is simply and uncritically engineering.

This is liberalism.

I went to see a lecture presented by one of the scientists working on the ATLAS instrument used in the Large Hadron Collider a few years back. He presented the basic ideas that were behind particle physics and the search for the Higgs boson in an easy and concise manner that the layman understood.

Yeah I also don't get this. First of all resentful elitism isn't part of our practice but also how in the hell is particle physics and quantum mechanics relevant to policy?

If his point was that pop-sci masks a real need for greater access to education then yes I completely agree, otherwise what a tool.

Completely correct.

If only evidence is used to produce policy won't that cause massive stagnation as the country will be less likely to experiment with untried policies?

Brocialists are losers. Manarchist master race reporting in.
