In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.
I went through some of my papers partially supported by US grants and all of them use a bunch of forbidden words. This is basically pure maths, and you are not allowed to use "equality" as in the relationship between one expression and another is an equality? It is so increadibly stupid. Look:
A dangerous sign of wokeness

Well that's doubleplus ungood.
Tell me this: if you were watching a movie and men in black masks were taking people off the street and sending them off, never to be seen again, and those same men were separating children from parents forcibly and locking them all in cages/compounds for months on end....
Would those people in this hypothetical movie, strike you as "good" guys, or "bad" guys?
Because that's what's happening, in real life, in the USA, right now.
Cue the "are we the baddies?" meme.
God, that's so right-woke.
Twenty years ago I was sitting in a city council meeting in middle Statesia where the city engineer was giving an estimate of traffic at an intersection. He described a liberal estimate (in this case the higher estimate) but led them that if he called it a liberal estimate they'd ignore it, so he was redefining conservative estimate to mean the opposite of what it does for all of his estimates just so they wouldn't dismiss them out of hand. And it worked, the dumbfucks on the city council liked the numbers just because he called them conservative.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
I watched an interesting video recently on "Lysenkoism".
In short, it's a horrible example of what happens when party politics are more important than correct science. And it should all feel very familiar to what's happening in the US right now.
Yeah that's what happens when "science" is based on capitalism, fascism, etc. It's just more explicit now.
Anti-Woke stuff is ridiculous.
Instead of "Leftwing" and "Rightwing", we should just use "Alpha" and "Beta" respectively, just like they wanted. 🤭
cool to read that you lot use "verboten" as a legit word
Thank you for participating in the latest moral race to the bottom
How DARE they Assume Mice can be MORE then just Male AND Female! NONMALE means ANYTHING THATS NOT MALE you Stupid Libtards Commies!
-A Happy Republican Voter who just Lost their Medicaid and SNAP Benefits and saw their Toddler get Deported!
real men don't have trauma and women don't exist. case dismissed.
Wow they didn't need to take the George orwell concept of double speak so far
Ironically enough, if they used German words for such, it might just pass the Turd Reich censors. 🤷🏼♂️
Who cares about those grants as long as the clown school grants are still there and our supreme clown are still in power! Glory to Americlown!! 🦅 🤡
