More system bullshit, system research can not be trusted since it's all politically and socially motivated.

Because academics can (& often do) lose their careers if they give a 'wrong' answer, that's all it comes down to really. Traditionalists & Fascists dominated many academic fields in the first half of the 20th century before they were deplatformed & the universities became solely the domain of Liberals and Marxists.

Due to this, either fear or bias, today's academic tends to treat State-backed theories uncritically while being hyper-critical of any opposing theories or evidence, leading constantly to skewed conclusions, which then more biased studies are built on top of & so on...

I definitely disagree with indeegenes that all research is BS, there's a lot of intelligent people out there doing good work especially when the topic is a-political, but there's also so many lies that it's hard to have much faith in these institutions any more. Nowadays I feel safer de-facto disbelieving anything published in mainstream media until I've checked it for myself.

Correct. Although I have seen some accounts that allege primary sources never come to RW conclusions, or that these theories are justifiably censored for truily being incorrect - such as a few BreadPanes comics for instance.
