We keep normalising RWNJ like Kirk and nazis. The think pieces and obits this week are a fucking disgrace, all shaking their head while justifying and amplifying. Don’t be part of the problem. Reject this BS.

If I'm reading this graph correctly, there is a negative 5% impact on the acceptance of mathematics by being conservative....
