The New Dark Age

I want to reassert what this thread is about: the attack by the Trump administration on learning, education, science, medicine. In other words, human knowledge. It is a concerted attack. This thread has nothing whatsoever to do with any of the subjects raised by the laziest troll, who is apparently unable to figure out the subject matter of the threads he floods with nonsense. It should not be hard to recognize that “marching naked people, Russiagate, Rogan does Hillary, oil pipelines, and democratic socialist mayoral candidates” have nothing whatsoever to do with attacks on human knowledge and learning.



Executive orders, sweeping budget cuts, and other actions in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration have had innumerable impacts on science in the United States and throughout the world. Science News staff members weigh in on how these changes have affected the funding and practice of scientific research, and what kinds of lasting impacts the administration may have on the global scientific enterprise.

@PJF, you wrote: “This thread and that Atlantic article are a load of crap.”

Then maybe you should have given some thought to ignoring this thread. Posting comments completely unrelated to the subject matter is lame, and lazy. One of your comments, yesterday, might have constituted a zinger for you, if posted in the Trump economy thread. Here, it makes no sense whatsoever. Not to mention the odd scene of seeing someone posting to a thread they consider “crap”. You’re only broadcasting your ignorance of the subject, and your own hatred of learning.

Attacks on Science

Disappearing data. Silenced scientists. We've tracked threats to the federal scientific enterprise for decades.

I think only you and maybe a couple other guys don't have the laziest troll on ignore. I don't even see his "contributions" to this thread at all. Not sure why we know he is a troll, it's been reported multiple multiple times, but we can't get him banned from the site. Disappointed in that honestly.

You are far from the laziest troll. In fact you put so much work into it you're like a little lost puppy frantically nipping at people's heels. But you're just a little too mangey to be cute.

There is a definite need for truth and reality on this forum. That is what I provide.

The Donald Trump fascist war against Truth….Its not just about killing science, killing medical research, killing climate science. I’ve made this claim before, but it will always bear repeating: Historical truth is Trump’s enemy. Historical truths are always the enemy of fascist dictators. They need to alter history to justify the fascist leader’s rise to power. In this instance, everybody knows already that Gabbard launched this, now, to deflect from the Epstein Files. The people leaping on Gabbard’s nonsense, her fact distorted fairy tale, are truly the Stupid of the Stupid. And it won’t work. Obama will never be charged at all, lol….It will NEVER happen. This is so easy….

Here we completely destroy Gabbard’s lies:

. I post positive things in your stupid post "the new dark age" because just creating that post is idiotic with all the good that is happening in front of your faces

So, you are here admitting you have no intention of adding to the subject of this thread. You admit that you are posting in this thread in order to derail it, to throw a monkey wrench in, for no good reason other than spite?

@Jason, can this be addressed? Maybe remove his unrelated comments from this thread? Here he is admitting he’s doing it deliberately for spite. A post about Tulsi Gabbard has nothing to do with this thread, although I did find a way to turn it against him, since historical knowledge is being attacked by the administration. But here he is, clearly saying he has every intention of continuing to disrupt the thread. Yes, I know most have him on ignore, but it’s the principle at this point.

The reality is this is one of the most relevant subjects of the Trump era.

Government cuts to budgets and workforces, cancellation of research grants and pausing of public health information dissemination are among the most condemned actions​

Americans disapprove of the Trump administration’s policies targeting science and medicine by a margin of more than 2-to-1, according to a survey by Rutgers and other universities.

Nationwide data collected by the Civic Health and Institutions Project, a collaboration between Rutgers, Harvard, Northeastern University, and the University of Rochester, found that cuts to science- and health-related budgets and workforces, agency reorganizations and changes in research priorities are sharply unpopular.

“Across the board, our research showed that government actions to defund scientific work and conduct massive layoffs in science and health agencies are not being met with strong public support,” said Katherine Ognyanova, an associate professor of communication at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information and the survey’s principal investigator.

The title of the thread is "the new dark ages". I'm simply pointing out how dark it was under Democrat leadership. The theme is the dark ages, not whatever theme you think it should be. It still a free country @red. I know you hate that and would prefer a lefty dictator to make everyone cozy and only allow lefty talking points.

Click the report button and report it as trolling. Maybe we can finally get him removed entirely.

The theme is the “new dark age” brought on by Trump and his attacks on science, medicine, History. Since I created the thread. Further, none of your posts are about anything to do with dark ages under Democrats at all. You have not connected a single one of your comments to the theme. And yes, it’s a free country, and if you were posting rebuttals to the actual subject, it would be a different story, and absolutely acceptable. But you stated you are posting, not the theme you claim in this BS comment, but doing exactly as you yourself noted: you are posting, because, in your opinion, the thread should not exist. But, you say, because it does exist, you tell me you will continue to post things having nothing whatsoever to do with the thread. As an act of anger!

So, I did report you. But, if nothing happens, (and I am not for one second suggesting you be banned), your irrelevant comments can stand as proof of the theme: America is waxing “stupid” where human knowledge is concerned, andyour comments being good examples of just how stupid it is becoming…..

And by the way, the theme of the thread that I create? I decide the theme. You don’t, lol. So what the hey are you talking about. I chose the theme, and I explained what it’s about in the first comment. So no, you DO NOT get to decide the theme at all.

Since none of you comments have anything to do with the state of knowledge, science, or learning under Democrats, as you above bizarrely claim(!), you are therefore lying above, in an effort to avoid the truth: in so many words, you said you are posting unrelated subject matter to the New Dark Age thread because you do not think the thread should exist! So what you say here is a transparent lie. “I’m simply pointing out how dark it was under Democratic leadership.” Then why do none of your comments talk about that? You are a liar. And you are a coward, here seen trying to squirm out of what you said. Listen, you clown: I do not want a dictator of any kind. And you do not decide whether you want a thread I create to exist. And you do not alter the theme simply because you don’t think the subject of the thread should exist. I might simply ask: who the hell do you think you are?
