Reddit discovers Stalin's stance on science

>Scott Adams is an idiot who shouldnt be taken seriously by anyone but he has one solid quote that I've always found endearing: "Leadership is natures way of removing the incompetent from the workforce."

This kind of phrasing is funny because it implies that the author correctly thinks that Reddit is full of idiots who assume that any use of a no-no person's words is the same as supporting them.

"he used his political influence and power to suppress dissenting opinions and discredit, marginalize, and imprison his critics, elevating his anti-Mendelian theories to state-sanctioned doctrine."

This appears to be a recurring theme in Russian history.

Oh jeez, I'm glad nothing similar to this ever happens in the science community in the West.

"Kill. All. Communists" - Stalin

We have become so concerned with micro aggressions; we have closed our eyes to macro aggressions.
