Is there a historical reason why the left aren't considered

Positivists buying into the myth of progress

>>2132962
Because the science opposing element is at the fringe rather than being put in charge of the EPA.

This is opposed by more than a fringe minority

>left isnt anti science
>literally censors science that debunks their horsecrap
Hmmm

>>2132962
By Anti-Science do you mean Anti"""""Science"""""
You know the whole "anyone who disagrees me is an Ignorant redneck who never finished high school" kinda thing

>>2132962

Because they branded themselves "progressive" so in the minds of the average pleb, everything they do leads to progress/improvement.

>>2133272
Does it count as censorship if it's not being done by the government?

>>2133311
Actually it's because they genuinely are progressive and have been since the French revolution.

Okay retard

>>2132962
In the US the right wing is much closer with religious fundamentalists, who are usually anti-science to various degrees.

>opposes newer, better techonology because of feels

Yeah, really progressive.

Luddites are leftists, aren't they?

Never seen a leftist deny climate change or evolution.
>>2133370
they are reactionaries.
>>2133361
fracking really isn't new technology.

>>2133361
Which technology?

>>2133370
No, they were just working class.

>>2133429
probably talking about nuclear technology.

>>2133361
I oppose certain technology too, depending on their supposed goal.

>>2133439
Fair enough, although I'd counter by saying that "progressives" aren't a hivemind that opinions amongst self defined progressives towards nuclear power vary greatly.

>>2133476
I think it's safe to say a majority of progressives are against nuclear energy, while a significant portion of conservatives are against it for other reasons.

Nuclear power is just disliked in general.

>>2133361
>le feels meme
All viewpoints come from feels, basically this isn't an argument, just a smug dismissal.

>>2133553
People are just retards in general

Science is satanic

>Is there a historical reason why the left aren't considered as anti-science as the right wing?

Most scientists and engineers are liberal, or at least what passes as liberal in the US.

>>2132962
>anti-nuclear movement
>often associated with the left
Funny because me and every leftist I know are pro-nuclear power. Anti-npp sentiment in America purely revolves around NIMBYism.

>>2133267
Even if your source was credible it would irrelevant because black people, like white people are not a single entity but are individuals that share a catagorical similarity.

Leaning too far to one direction is never a good thing anyway.
