And they kept going for decades after that. This is my objection to straying from the scientific method, when we decided to deny one part of science, we undermine the very epistemological system by saying that special cases COULD exist, so long as the political pressure was significant enough. It started with denying the science of racial differences, which explained the differences in performance between the races, and gave way to antiwhite conspiracy theories as the alternative explanation, conveniently not held to any standard at all, and denied even the responsibility to be questioned. Christians had aided in this with the big push against evolution in the new atheist years, associating it with not just being wrong and stupid, but also evil, expelled and way of the master and Kent having were the worst offenders. Then we ignored the science of what defines a mental disorder to declassify homosexuality, this led to a rise in all manner of increasingly disturbing psychological disorders being waved off as being normal, since doing otherwise would offend the people with them, pedophilia is down the line. We rejected gender differences and that led to the feminist movement that ravaged across the world and did significant amounts of damage throughout the gamergate years. We rejected the scientific method when it came to historical events, which led to a jewish historical narrative being accepted as fact for years and years, where whites were made to look worse than they were, while other races were made to look a LOT better than they were, most of the antiwhites today were a product of being opposed to a scientific basis for history, in favor of some social engineering that was sold on a false bill of goods as benefitting other races, rather than just hurting whites. Most people have a very distorted view of history, lots of gaps in their knowledge of important events, like how whites being enslaved and occupied by other races (worse and for longer), never did anything to stop them from progressing to the point where they could allegedly do the same to other races, like how whites weren't the sole contributors to the crimes their ancestors would be made to be ashamed of, and in fact whites had a lesser role in them than other races, that many of the unjustified acts whites did commit were in fact very much justified (Tulsa massacre), and that they tended to affect whites more than other races (lynching, which were mostly directed at white people who committed violent crimes, interesting how all the whites lynched without due trial were guilty, but all the black ones were falsely accused), and of course that some events are straight up fabricated, like the genocides that occurred at german internment camps for groups that produced large amounts of communist sympathizers, and communist agents or terrorists, at a time when Germany was going to war with a large communist country.
