Radiorum Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 (edited) This is how censorship works in Trump's America. A list of about 100 words has been compiled (see the complete list at this link) – words that are flagged in papers submitted to the National Science Foundation for funding. If any of the words appear, the research will not be funded. Examples of offending words: Disability Diversity Equality Female (but not male) Gender Inclusivity Minority Racial/racism Trauma Victim Women (but not men) Edited February 13 by Radiorum 2 Quote

No one is stopping anyone from using any language they want to... but if they want tax payer money, they better have better reasons than for any of that left wing DEI BS. Quote

You are a victim of perception bias While this does make decision-making easier, it also leads to a lot of established assumptions, beliefs, or attitudes that are known as unconscious biases.

That's prioritization. Another great example of the left using the emotion of the word rather than the definition. 1 1 Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition. If they are wrong, blame the opponent. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa. If all else fails, just be angry.

Who was "censored" BY THE GOVERNMENT for that? Be SPECIFIC and PROVIDE EVIDENCE. And who was it that had or didn't have the expertise to determine "likelihood." I really don't see anything wrong with tamping down SPECULATION on a PUBLIC HEALTH MATTER when lives are on the line. Do you? Quote

They're just not being funded by A specific group, they are free to raise their own money from other groups and do the research and publish the results. They're saying we as a customer do not want to buy products that are like this. There is a ton of research they probably aren't interested in funding and never have been This would be like saying you are censoring Disney plus because you don't pay for a Disney Plus Membership. It's not censorship 2 Quote
Radiorum Posted February 14 Author Report Posted February 14 A lot of research will be impacted by this, and it's naive to think otherwise. An oppressive atmosphere has been created, and it goes against what I thought the US stood for. 2 1 Quote

Leftards would have assembled a commission, those unelected cronies would enact 'regulations' backed by hefty fines, and the little commies would all work from their iphones on the beach 2 hrs a week. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed. If you missed something on the Cultist Narrative Network, don't worry, the dolt horde here will make sure everyone hears it. "If it didn't come from CNN, it's heresy!" - leftist "intellectuals"

Don't care. You started this thread based on a lie, now you want to argue something else. Quote
