When political dogma overrides true science
A reader in MeWe asked this question:
The moment I sent my reply, I remembered a scene from the HBO movie “Citizen X” based on the investigation of the many murders of Soviet Serial Killer Andrei Chikatilo.
Political dogma in the Left is everything. It defines truth, it defines scientific investigation and it will define the laws of physics if necessary. Dogma is infallible and if there is something wrong that does not match dogma, then it is you who is doing it wrong.
Dogma early on defined that “mostly peaceful” Marches by Antifa/BLM and any street celebration that upheld the goodness of the Left Party and against Republicans and Trump to be doubleplusgood and would not transmit the Wuhan V. However if two Wrong-People got together to peacefully address grievances or celebrate their chosen candidate, then it became an evil virus super spreader event that was designed to kill grandma and grandpa demonstrating once more why Conservatives have no heart and must be put on a list and “take care of.”
The movie also has the following and very much to the point quote:
And to publicize the case is to admit that such crimes exist in the Soviet Union, which is the one thing they would rather die than do…Publicly admit that anything is wrong.
The difference is in our version, the Party is willing to let us die than admit being wrong.
