Sounds like pizzagate

Anti-education disinformation
Anti-trans moral panic fueled by disinformation
Anti-LGBTQ moral panic fueled by disinformation
Ah yes the tyranny of math
You know what really helps solve these imaginary issues? Blocking traffic in Canadian cities, inconveniencing random people, and committing acts of terrorism. Brilliant plan, fuckwits. If only they cared about real issues as much as their imaginary ones.
Oh and then there's this gem:
"We have met the enemy and they are us."
You beat me to it on that last line, but I'll highlight some others [emphasis mine]:
[…]
As soon as I saw the headline, I wondered if Romana Didulo would be mentioned. She's a conspiracy nutbag who declared herself the Queen of Canada and started her cult of followers caravanning back and forth throughout Canada. She's been active since 2020. There's a fascinating look at her org at Vice. She wasn't mentioned in the original article, however.
The QAnonAnonymous podcast just did an episode about this lady too.
Well, if Her Majesty ~~Roman Dildo~~ Romana Didulo I, Queen of Canada, isn't endorsing it, must be fake gnus.
I can "understand" what they dislike about everything here except for ... math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?
They seem to hate and vilify what they don't understand.
Let us just say they hate a lot of things.
Maybe they are fans of Terrance Howard's new math?
It's those fuckin' numbers, man! I keep trying to make them do what I say, but they keep responding rationally. I want 2+2 to equal 5, but they won't fuckin' listen!
Idk man I'm pretty sure the number 6 transitioned from number 9 and now wants to have sex with children.
My wife just got back from a literal math conference with fellow math researchers. I asked her what the math agenda is and she said snacks & coffee at 10am because everyone was tired from being up early to make it to the conference.
I'll let you know if any other nefarious math-based plots are exposed.
Lol my daughter teaches math, I'll find out what she knows and we can compare notes
I use it professionally and I hate it
Yeah, math leads to logic; it's a slippery slope.
It is so dumb that I would not even consider this line to be good satire. Yet, here we are, they literally hate math because it leads to logic.
The theories and basis are always the same for centuries. They only wrapped them with a new tinfoil.
FTFY
