The Problem with Transgender Activism
Nickel usage or significance
Usage notes
Motifs or claims
- Science is not compatible with anarchism -> appears in a relatively soft way.
- The value of science to a free society (Liberal republic or post-structuralist civilization) should be judged specifically by whether it is nice people or mean people that support science, and particularly whether it is more common for mean people or nice people to be against it; if a significant number of mean people support science then regardless of whether it is accurate to reality everyone must band together against it and get rid of it
- Rejecting science is bad purely because it causes people to form into conspiracy theory movements that want to break out of society or take it over, which in turn is bad specifically because when people are tied to hateful movements they are not within freedom and not capable of recognizing others' freedom and granting them equal freedom; rejecting science does not occur based on what is accurate to reality but is a matter of bigotry versus freedom where when people refuse to perceive reality through anti-essentialism and to baselessly assume that things are "not always bad" they go beyond a natural moderate state entering an unacceptable extreme and thus create bigotry; accepting science occurs based on practicing anti-essentialism and deciding to tolerate scientists and grant them freedom
