    Jewish banking and etc are tied to many (false) conspiracy theories. Me mentioning science has been part of the elites and immediately tying someone who happened to have a family that had bankers that were jewish ties into that in a distasteful/false/etc way.

    I’m sure it’s not intentional, but I don’t like giving these idiots more fuel for their fire

    Without independent wealth and deep personal connections it’s incredibly difficult to succeed in academia, regardless of the quality of your research.

    Always has been, why do you think he’s called SIR Isaac Newton?

    EDIT : Turns out his knighthood was afterwards, but he did have connections. There are several examples of science being the domain of already rich people.

    Honestly, who pays ridiculous amounts for a band shirt of one of the most well known fucking bands in existence? Does James’ retirement fund really need the money more than some other band that’s struggling to make ends meet? Like, IDFK, Exocrine?

    I’m sure they know how much they paid for the t shirt, and that you don’t need to advertise metallica the same way you would more underground bands.

    Wearing band ts are mutually beneficial; you get to express your taste in music and art (since the band t usually has a cool design), and maybe make connections with people (this literally happened to me several times, with my BTA, Archspire and Gorguts t shirts), and the band gets much needed exposure. I learnt about Batshuka from some dude wearing a band t, I don’t particularly like that band, but at least I became aware of them, which is good for Batshuka.
