    I don’t think knowledge can be destroyed in this day and age.

    Research institutions are more international and globalised than they were in the 20th century.

    Even if american fascists started burning Research documents and books, the knowledge would most likely not be lost if it’s already shared on an international level.

    As usual, american politics is completely detached from material reality and can only deal in aesthetics and theater.

        Sure, it would in the US when the yanks completely remove themselves from scientific studies.

        But the current research and discoveries will continue their development in other places like Germany, France, China, or other nations who research the same things.

        If the US banned mathematics for using Arabic numerals, mathematic discoveries would still continue elsewhere.

        The US seems to cannibalise itself and speed running its own collapse. It should be celebrated. A destroyed or diminished US is an absolute blessing for the rest of the world.
