You only need to look at the all "the science" which gets ignored by people pushing an agenda to know it's not about science it's about power and control.

The ones who are ignoring "the science" to push agendas are the ones currently without power and control, who wish they had it. Since they cannot earn it honestly through correctness, they try violence.

I see lots of power hungry people doing it, and they have varying amounts of power and control, many have a lot of power and a lot of control

I guess people like Joe Rogan do have lots of power and control. But those are outliers.
