The number one reason why STEM folks should be mandated to take history classes on every field of science they study is because our methods of inquiry tend to hide the past errors, so ensuing generations need to be taught how we were previously wrong, and often, on the path to current understanding.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Right. Like, MAHA isn’t a push for equitable access to care. It’s eugenics under the guise of “healthy living.” There’s plenty of somewhat normalizing woo and almond mom and ~natural~ in the mix, but that’s just noise. The signal is the strongest survive, and no regard for the lessers who don’t.

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.

Instead of retreating into facile cynicism about the safety net and regulatory state, people on the left should be trying to occupy the bureaucracy at the state, local, and, after the MAGA putschists are finally expelled from power, federal level.

After MAGA, the left will need to be ready with a theory of how to rebuild the federal administrative state—not as it was before Trump, but as something better.

For a while, a common dilemma in video game RPGs was "Who do you support, the problematic hypernationalists or the rootless cosmopolitan hypocrites?" and I think it aged poorly seeing how the past decade has pretty conclusively proven the correct answer is "sign up with RCH and get over yourself."
