    By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.

      To be fair to the Trump regime (lol), the original Nazis were also really fucking dumb. They thought nuclear physics was “Jew science” because of contributions by Einstein and other Jewish physicists. Or how they rejected sloped armor on tanks because “German steel is superior. The soviets use sloped armor because they’re poor and stupid. Bolshevik steel is worse than aluminum!”

      There’s a bunch of examples of 1940s fascists being wildly incompetent. Italy not being able to invade Ethiopia or causing more problems for the Axis on the Eastern front. Japan’s army and navy competing with one another and not sharing intel. There was at least one instance where the Japanese navy left a bunch of troops stranded for no reason other than to make army officers look bad for getting captured/killed. Just cartoon levels of buffoonery.

        On some level it makes sense; Communism is objectively correct and better at improving outcomes for humanity. The only people who will strongly, actively reject that are fucking idiots.

        So of course the fascists are all the dumbest people you’ve ever met. It’s a movement by and for morons.

            Many of Lysenko’s findings have been validated by further studies into epigenetics, which was not known at the time. There was definitely some bunk science going on, but it wasn’t as bad you’ve been told. He was barking up a real tree. Environment has tons of impact on genetics and how they are expressed.
