Do you notice how everything is like this now? "Speak your truth", "uh I'm gonna need a source for that" (and they keep searching until they find a title of a study that can be interpreted as agreeing with them). (1) https://twitter.com/HHHtotalwar/status/1330024448817295361
This is the foundation of leftist ideologies, that reality itself doesn't matter so much as our opinions of things. This puts human opinion at the center of our universe, opposed to Gods will i.e reality as events actually occurred. (2)
This is why naive empiricism (there are no actual foundational Truths just observations), Marxism (there is no truth, just consensus) are connected through pragmatism (there are no truths, just some facts which work better than others but could change at a later date) (3)
This is why so many scientists buy into Marxism. They are connected by their foundational assumption that Truth doesn't actually exist. (4)
This is also why it's totally incoherent to have a society "based on science", because empirical results are changing with each observation and new interpretation of the results, there is no foundation to build on. (5)
What the "Party of Science" really means is the party open to constant reinterpretation, i.e bending reality to suit our goals, i.e communism. (6)
Western Civilization must be torn down by "the party of science" i.e communism because it's epistemological foundations are incompatible. Western Civilization is based on Foundationalism, the idea that there are foundational (immutable) Truths that ground everything else. (7)
One foundational truth would be the existence of God, this is naturally the number one target of leftist ideologies, because God is not compatible with their epistemology that allows for mutable truths.
You literally cannot be a liberal and believe in God. It's incompatible (8)
People who believe in "progress" are actually telling you that they believe society can be rebuilt according to science. In which case you've (as I explained above) now lost your connection to reality as such and have gone against God and Nature. (9)
You need a connection to nature that isn't empirically determined. This can only be done via rationalism, i.e accepting Truths that are either derived or taken as foundational (eg God). Examples of non-empirical (axiomatic) fields of inquiry are Mathematics, Ethics, Austrian Econ
