ITT: irrationals who are afraid of science and want poor people to die

>>8746227
Their PR shills have done an incredible job of brainwashing millennials into thinking that DRM for crops = "science" and if you're not slavishly supportive of vile rent-seeking behavior, you're some kind of anti-vaxxer luddite

We had a thread like this on /g/ a few days ago regarding John Deere tractors. Apparently if you think buying an object gives you the right to repair it without paying $10,000 for an unlock code, you're some kind of leftist nut

I wish I was making this up

What's the problem with GMO, besides "I don't understand it therefore it's bad"

Now that Agent Orange has been approved for domestic use, MRSA is everywhere, and normal ordinary conventional chickens, the kind that weren't systematically used to breed bioweapons while being fed poison for their entire miserable lives, cost $40 each at farmer's markets exclusively patronized by the very wealthy, have we finally exceeded the wildest dystopian fantasies our limited 20th century imaginations could have come up with?

> In germany alone (basically the biggest fucking bio-organic stronghold in the world as far as i know)

Wow, who in 1939 would have predicted that the world's leading innovator would come to reject science like that. Sounds like they got "culturally enriched" if you know what I mean.

Yes, plants naturally evolve fish genes and toxic soil fungus. Natural random mutations over thousands of generations are exactly the same as physically inserting DNA from another organism. EXACTLY THE SAME. Why does everyone hate science?

If consumers were allowed to decide for themselves what's best for them, billions of poor people will die. I suppose you support Hitler and the Holocaust too.

Why do liberals hate science?

Why do cappuchino-drinking liberals hate science?

Roundup isn't a pesticide, it's a yield enhancement treatment. Do you want poor people to die?

That's because consumers, most of whom know nothing about science, would then develop this prejudicial view that "less beef" means "lower quality".

It's the same as the GMO witch hunt. There's no need to label because GMO is not something to be afraid of.

It amazes me when fearmongers demand to be given information that they're unable to understand in the first place.

Roundup ready

>implying the organic farm didn't pose a public health threat

If any of you guys had the slightest understanding of how actual science-based agriculture worked, you'd be grateful that the government supports the good guys.

/ck/ - hating science since 2005

Because GMO have been a mainstay of human civilization since agriculture began, and it's not my job to explain the benefits to a follower of a voodoo cult.

Thank goodness you're not in charge of anything important in real life.

I couldn't agree more. Ever seen that picture of American and South Korean soldiers with the North Korean soldier at the DMZ? Science is why we're so healthy and you only have to look at places like North Korea to understand why we need science.

People who spread fear and lies about science are the gravest threat humanity has ever faced. These militant vegans, hippies, and shrill propagandists (who are mostly leftists, unsurprisingly) are literally advocating the extinction of the human race.

Looks like the anti-science loons are out again. Doesn't /ck/ have mods?

Most people on the internet have a very poor understanding of not just science but also economics and history. If only they knew they'd be starving without Monsanto - or, more likely, they'd never have been born in the first place.

If you hate corporations so much, throw away your macbook, your iphone, your life saving medicines, your food, etc...

Haven't been reading this thread, but I agree with this guy.

This. Anyone who thinks that there's a significant difference between maize that was selectively bred for hardiness, and transgenic maize that was spliced with soil bacteria genes to produce useful toxins, is a luddite and is literally advocating the murder of billions of poor people.

Organotards and libruls should just stop posting from their macbooks if they hate corporations so much.

Section 735 of HR933 (the Monsanto Protection Act) guarantees that the safety of our food supply cannot be threatened by a corrupt activist court system that doesn't properly understand the science behind modern agriculture.

How does this make you feel, /ck/?
