yeah sure cuba a morally decrepit familial authoritarianism with the second highest number of imprisoned journalists (after china of course), people arent allowed to use the internet, citizens can't even leave or enter the country without official permission and cubans are banned from Cubans watching listening to independent, private, or foreign broadcasts not to mention the rampant torture and extrajudicial executions

>Science is apolitical

I agree with you, i should have specified that I meant a 'moral' mandate to alleviate human suffering.

>hurr durr science has fucked shit up concentration camps were science's fault

you're fucking pathetic. Science has enabled human beings to be the first species capable of escaping the horrific cycle of natural selection, it has tripled our life expectancy and emancipated us from the daily, brutish struggle for survival from foes we were not even aware existed (bacteria, mental illness etc).

These things were achieved because they alleviated human suffering, something science is very good at and which is advantageous for the survival and wellbeing of our species.

Dropping several names of atrocities perpetrated by humankind against one another doesn't prove a damn thing about science until you explicitly link how the scientific method reasoned that the holocaust would be advantageous for our species.

I won't accept you defending the laissez-faire governance which allowed the economic exploitation of poor factory workers or the political activities of the catholic right-wing which triggered the second world war.

Why don't you talk about the emancipatory inventions like the printing-press which helped people fight back against the exploitation you described?

this place becomes more like a playground everyday.
