Perhaps the most significant finding: "Thirty-six percent (36%) believe that, most of the time, scientists’ research findings are motivated by a desire to advance their own careers. Only 32% say that they mostly rely on the best scientific evidence. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe that political views of the scientists generally influence their work."

What's with the rampant anti-Semitism on Voat? Seriously, I've been away. When did this happen?

It's a function of Voat's demographics. Voat isn't your first choice. You come here when Eddit bans you for not being PC enough. Now you've got people trying to be as inflammatory as they can out of sheer spite. The same types also happen to partake in the kind of right-leaning science denial you see in OP's post.

"Science denial." As an actual scientist, fuck off with your worship of the pseudo-scientific establishment. You think you're enlightened, but in reality you are just brainwashed.

Exhibit B.

You will probably never admit that you were gullible enough to be fooled by this BS. It's ok, when I was young and naive I bought into it, too. But I'm sure that one day you will realize that you were manipulated, even if you never admit it.
