it's a criminal organization far as I'm concerned
Corporations and "Capitalism" (in certain sense since it gets warped into Fascism) are worst menace Human Race have ever created, religion, "Communism", Nazis etc are so obvious In their thuggish arrogance and inhumanity, they are obvious and easy to rally against
But Corporate Fascism is more like a poisonous addiction, secret society of perverts and criminals etc, a sort of "Cult of Thuggee" if you will. They may not heap the corpses up in windrows like war and obvious genocides do, but over time, they kill a hell of a lot more.
SMC is just one of it's tools, and the scum who eagerly will serve and lie for ego and cash.
SMC and other such propaganda tools, spew what the "Bosses" want to hear and the Public to be blinded by
But doing it in an oily, sly way.
The Soviets suffered dreadfully thanks to their centralized system that had no give and let people like Trofim Lysenko literally ruled "Science" in the USSR, anyone who disagreed with his bullshit was liable to lose their position, if not their freedom or very life.
If you don't follow the Corporate line, you lose your job, mortgage and livelihood and as it progresses, eventually folk will lose their lives if they don't follow the corporate line, dying int he gutter or if societal degeneration and use as a tool, a tyrant take power.
Once you take the brakes off the law and societal acceptable limits, it always degenerates down to hell, just takes longer because the UK had long history of moral concern and Human Rights....but vermin like Ian Duncan Smith have risen like gassy turds to the top of the toilet bowl....and deaths are occurring
I have zero sympathy with anyone in the SMC, they know what they are doing, to hell with them.

Science itself needs massively decentralized
alas, for many good reasons it coalesced around Universities and the like in the later 1800s
but that itself led to terrible warping of Science
Tenure, publication kudos and later, patent and commercial interests have grossly perverted it :/
Science is NOT about a PhD and "white coat", it's something ANYONE can take part in, provided they are methodical and ethical and in greater scheme of things, moral, which is very necessary as well.
There really does need to be a "Hippocratic Oath" for Science, it's too damn vital to let ego, greed etc warp and poison its fruits :/
