Science is absolutely a religion. In Fascist countries, you are raised to be a Scientist. However, essentially everyone [gets the joke] and doesn't actually grow up to be a Scientist. It's play-pretend.
Almost all online discourse can be explained this way: the Pseudo-Scientists are mad that the Regime wants to make the catechism too ridiculous or preposterous to even pretend to be Science. The Sophists Pseudo-Scientists perform folk-activism cargo-cult rituals analogous to coalition-forming, which makes them feel like they 'oppose' the change. Then they surrender, which raises your hopes. You think they might learn to surrender when attacked at unsecured points.
Soon, the game moves closer to Nash equilibrium, meaning even more openly corrupt and anti-Scientific. The cycle repeats.
You constantly see complaints that the lies are too transparent, and lots of unserved niche demand which is about rejecting a seriously transparent lie. However, all the action remains Pseud on Pseud, so they don't genuinely want it to go anywhere. Supply meets demand, and it doesn't.
