Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

That the republican party, the party of traitors and fuckwits, isn’t a fringe party is an indictment on America. We fucking deserve trump, idiots that we are.

Whelp if science is a religion, at least our pastors aren't covering up for child-molestation.

But seriously though, even when not being grifters, it's like as though conservatives just never developed a theory of mind - they can't process the idea of people who don't possess some kind of dogmatic faith.

Some people prefer to follow where the evidence leads, rather than what the pastor says.

But like it’s not faith it’s literally facts and logic

Let's have a contest. Let's see who can get to the moon first. She can build temples, and churches, make sacrifices at holy shrines, and get thousands and thousands of people to pray for her to get there. Me, I'll take a rocket built by scientists.

She couldn't even get across an ocean or to the top of the highest mountains on Earth with nothing but religion. She couldn't even feed her drivel to her ~~victims~~, sorry, listeners if scientists hadn't developed the various technologies used to send her words and images to them.

The "false science deity" is evidence lol.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Candace Owens has described science as a "pagan faith," after saying she had been reading literature supporting the theory that Earth is flat, rather than spherical.

Owens made the statement on Monday's episode of Candace, the podcast she launched last month following her exit from the Daily Wire in March.

Explaining her stance, Owens, who recently announced that she had converted to Catholicism, took aim at, among other things, COVID-19 vaccines and safety measures that were implemented at the height of the pandemic.

Owens proceeded to play a clip of controversial influencer Andrew Tate, in which he expressed his own distrust of scientific data during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Owens said that she was open to reading literature on flat-Earth theory not because she believed in a flat Earth, but because she disbelieved "the notion that science is ever settled."

"It just keeps turning out that if you follow the Bible and believe in biblical scripture, your life gets better and better and better," added Owens, who recently said a "Christian holocaust" was taking place around the world.


The original article contains 883 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Utterly moronic of her.

When a political governing body, not associated to any of the sciences, claims it owns the science... that's when we need to pay closer attention to the scientific method before we start claiming scientific facts.

This is a literal unscientific problem

Can you summarize the main point of the video?

[–] StaySquared@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

The video I posted?

"We own the science, Google will comply with our demands and eliminate any questions/criticizations/opposing views in their search results about what we say about science"
