The scientific journals, Nature and Science were shut down for a day, because … because …white privilege!

“Radical activists persuaded top science journals to stop work on June 10 and to validate their claims of “white supremacy” throughout the American science sector. The willingness of top scientists to submit to the radicals’ half-disguised political goals is a dangerous failure, said Bret Weinstein, a biologist and a champion for free speech. In a June 10 broadcast on YouTube, he argued thas the radicals will use the one-day June 10 concession to demand more damaging concessions from science, he said, adding: If you think you’re helping black people by “Shutting Down STEM!,” you have not understood what’s going on. Science is the key to avoiding bias. It is the key to escaping oppression. It is the key to discovering what it is about our system that is systematically biased, and to eliminate it. So you are doing black people no favor by challenging that mechanism. Scientists should reject the political pressure, he said: The question is, do you have the intelligence to see where we are? And do you have the fortitude to stand up to this nonsense and say, “No, I won’t be a party to it.” And if you do, then, welcome. Weinstein’s response came after a small group of black academics and scientists used the emotional wave caused by the police death of George Floyd to demand that science be reorganized to help black Americans in science. The group pushed the hashtag #ShutDownSTEM. One of the manifestos demanded that the goal of “justice” be prioritized above scientists’ discovery of objective reality: We must confront the institutional barriers to justice for Black people in academia and beyond, challenge the notion of the meritocracy whereby “objective and neutral” criteria infused with systemic racism are used to exclude Black people from physics and other academic disciplines, and rebuild our institutions and collaborations in a way that is just and equitable … Every single institution around the world can and should get involved in this work. Another manifesto portrayed all scientists who put science first are racists: “Unless you engage directly with eliminating racism, you are perpetuating it.”
The only real phenomena here needing explanation is why this is all put up with. Notice that there were few protests about Floyd in Africa; could it be that these people have more important problems of life to solve, like eating?

When they are not shutting down STEM, there are always statues to destroy. This article shows footage of the busy beavers at work smashing the symbolic representations of Western heritage, the soft targets of statues. But, notice how the universities, surely a symbol par excellence of “white” and now “yellow” privilege, are never touched. No, the nest must not be soiled by the middle-class children of the revolution.

I don’t wish anyone harm, but it is sure ironic that the confederate statue fell on this vandaliser’s head. Was there a hidden meaning there? Was this Nathan Forrest from beyond the grave?
