The science is bad and the politics are deleterious. That has nothing to do with prejudices on my part; thinking that the methodology and behavior is naively toxic at best doesn't mean I disagree with the egalitarian aims that are claimed to be the motivating factor behind this political ideology.

What science and what politics? Why are they bad or deleterious? Why are they naively toxic? Can you provide any examples? I'd be happy with just one because even an isolated incident can be learned from and used to improve the community.

You can't claim to agree with their egalitarian aims and then absolutely refuse to provide constructive feedback or even any evidence of your claims that their behavior is naive, myopic, counter-productive, etc. It's the logical equivalent of "I'm not racist but..." followed with a comment about how other races have smaller brains as if its a statement of fact with no evidence to back it up.

Don't tell us, show us.

You're being remarkably disingenuous; please consider your comments an example of deleterious politics.
