I am drafting a long post for Activist HQ about something going 14 years back.
It has to be drafted with concentration and care. I am attacking a system not any mentor I personally ever had. Certainly not my mentor at an institution I will be attacking as harshly as I can. He was a decent man and a good scientist and shoud not be scapegoated for having the politics of his era that most people had back then and many always will.
That’s how the system/machine etc wins. It will isolate the problem to the least culpable people , purging them from the system and making it all more fascistic. He was a decent man, but many scientists and doctors have somewhat blah politics. I did. But in practice they are decent people, but university and hospital admins and the private institutions with ties to universities and the lawyers for these entities-that’s where the problem lies. Or in business and economics departments or those heavily indebted to billionaire philanthropies.
I have to draft it with care or I am just shooting my own foot off.
This wouldn’t make much sense to someone like James Buchanan. It is not self interest in the narrow way an ass like that would think of it.
Apparently, I am a “zealot” 
. So be it.

(Hat tip to the awesome Yasha Levine for a reference I found on his site that lead me to this idiotic man’s drivel..Buchanan that is. Those people are a nightmare.
To keep stubbing your toes on the thought processes of this type of person’s worldview…)
