Science and political movements with an exism suffix? They have a lot in common. Both pop up when old ways don't cut it anymore, and they both try to shake things up and change how we think and run things. To work, they need new stories, changes in how things are organized, and for people to get on board. Also, they both need different fields of knowledge to come together, people to get involved, and good reasons to ditch the old ways. Basically, they are like two sides of the same coin – big changes happening in science and politics because we need to keep up with the times.

Good day Chuckweubuka, thank you for taking the time to write.

What you are discribing there is the Thomas Kuhn's scientific paradigm evolution loop at work as it applies to science and politics, the old is not working and new idea comes along and bring us to a higher level place after consensus for paradigm change is reached, created in in the process science based and politically based paradigm shift knowledge gaps that need to be closed so the higher level place works well. Here the old is left behind and the new take over as there is consensus this reflects majority will. THOSE ARE NOT EXISM based movements. Exism movements are those form by groups within the science and poliical/democracy system that realize that their ideas/plans/power no longer work from within as the consensus is against them and become anti-science based or anti-politifcal/anti-democracy movements from within. Here the old wants to dominate by flipping science and democratic system from within at all costs to mantain the old, the best interest of the minority The science based exism movement no longer follows and avoids the the will of the scientific truth and the other no longer follows and avoids the will of the true political majority. The science based exism movements presents itself as a science based movement when it is not as to persist it has to behave as an anti-science movement; and the polically/democracy based exism movement sell itsel as a political/democracy based exism movement when it is no as to persist is has to behave anti-democratic.

Now may be you could be able to see what exism movements in science like the dwarf green market movement or the dwarf market movement or the circular economy movement and in politics/democracy a la Brexit and Usexit have in common, at least the two main one commonalities.

Respectfully yours;

Lucio

Good Day, Sir Lucio

Similarities Between Extremist Groups

They Disagree with What Everyone Accepts as True

In science, they don't believe what most scientists agree on after checking facts.

In politics, they don't support what most voters want.

→ Both weaken the systems they say they stand for.

They Keep Going by Fighting the System

They act like they're about science or democracy, but they go against those things to stay alive.

They don't want to make things better. They just want to keep old ideas alive, even if it means messing up the system.

Both used temporary authoritarianism first to create the conditions to later shift to permanent authoritarianism to maintain power regardless of the facts or legality or morality.

But all we have said so far can be summarized in 3 common factors they need to persist and spread, can you think what those summarizing common factors can be?

Science-based “exism” movements vs politically-based “exism” movements — commonalities: both types of movements share an epistemic claim (they assert a privileged way of knowing or acting), mobilize communities around perceived crisis points, construct boundary-setting narratives (who belongs to the movement), and seek institutional change, but they differ in legitimacy resources (scientific authority vs political-organizational networks) even as both can produce similar dynamics of polarization, policy capture, or agenda-setting.
