Why We Politicise Science

I wrote some time ago about how figures like Anthony Fauci, Michael Mann, Susan Michie, also Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty etc. etc., from 2020 onwards played cups-and-ball with science and politics. Ah, you thought it was politics under this cup, but it was in fact science! If not ‘The Science’.
Observe how no one has ever referred to such a thing as ‘The Politics’.
No one ever says, “The politics says that climate change is happening.”
No, we always say, “The science says that climate change is happening.”
Why?
Well, politicians are either 1) unitary, our overlords: sovereign, government, the ruling class, or 2) partial, the 24-hour-political-party people. And either way, we don’t like it: either something is being imposed on us from above, or it is being urged on us from one side or the other.
Let me lay this out in textbook manner:
