Seen this shit before with Reddit's most astroturfed poison producers: Monsanto.

"Glyphosate is so safe that you can drink it." eco-porky

"Then drink it. Right now. With the cameras on you." ecoterrorism

I saw this said once about "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" reddit-logo types: "You don't 'love science,' you stare at science's ass as it walks by."

Exactly, as the song says about the fetishism of science:

Eternalized, objectified
You set your sights so high
But this is beginning to feel like the bolt busted loose from the lever

One can only hope, and he does seem to be really losing it lately.

But I have a strong feeling that the "death professor" referred to in the song could be Oppenheimer, which makes sense if you see the song as describing the progress of science towards a nuclear detonation, from the barely controlled locomotive (steam era) to the static explosion of a nuclear warhead.

I'm pretty sure that was the intended subject of the lyrics, too. I just wanted to apply them further.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
