You want to march for scientists under a gag order, or NASA funding, or climate data, sure, I can support this to a certain extent. EDIT: words got mixed up.
But the only one of those "isms" that even comes close to applying to scientific development is "colonization". You know, the type of cultural advancement, enrichment, and competition that allowed things like The President, Council and Fellows of the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, or The Royal Society for short. Darwin's most famous work, yeah, accomplished because of the Royal Navy. Look at Boston Dynamics, look at the entire DARPA system. Even TOR was a Navy project. Our internet? What do you think type of installations wanted a hardwire communications system between machines?
I am tired of the respect that 18th, and 19th century institutions do not get in the past couple years by the left for their contribution to society as a whole. It's equivalent to ignoring Locke, Descartes, Milton, Voltaire, Mills, Rousseau, because they happen to have made their contributions under the same type of security.

"Science" is part of the Left's mindset of de-individualization and de-humanization. It's a philosophy of turning people into numbers and statistics to turn moral issues into scientific ones. For example, on the Left they would say you have a greater chance of being hit by lightning than killed by a terrorist; which is true, and is meant to pretend to replace emotion with logic and math because theory and logic beat reality. There were an undisclosed number of Parisians in a night club who had to watch other people get their eyes gouged out, have their heads sawed off, and worse until it was their turn. They did not care if they were more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist -- but you're not supposed to talk about that because it is emotional and divisive instead of scientific and theoretical.

Well the obvious counter to the lightning terrorism comparison is that humans have no control over lightning as opposed to terrorism which is directly perpetrated by humans.

I wish they would just admit it's an anti Trump march and they're just having a tantrum that they lost the election.
Instead we'll just have to double down and keep pushing our way through. Not like the people that do shit like this are disciplined enough to keep this up for four years.
