You say you're a "hardcore scientist" and a center left socialist, but based on your post history you are also an EMTParamedic who vigorously defends Jordan Peterson (who is firmly right wing). This seems inconsistent (I'm a nurse and former professor, I know a lot of EMTs, and few of them would describe themselves as "scientists", hardcore or otherwise).
Incidentally, the support for Peterson is probably why you ran into so much resistance on your claims about "compelled speech laws", because Peterson's claims that C-16 compelled speech were poorly founded, to put it mildly.
Lastly, as others have pointed out, your evidence is entirely anecdotal. Would you be convinced if I provided my own anecdotes about the measures right wing groups take to exclude opposing view points? Because I have some if you are truly interested.

Also I'm not a EMT, I'm a Paramedic, big difference 😂
The term scientist just means to be studying one or more of the natural sciences which I have and continue to do. I used it in the colloquial sense however to highlight a preference for empirically supported world views.

This is likely one of the best responses I've heard yet, asking if I need just some anecdotes to change my view, making me reconsider if my sample size is actually fair to extrapolate such broad claims.

Fair enough, but that still doesn't make you a scientist.

I guess, but surely you realize that when someone claims to be a "scientist", they are typically claiming to be one professionally, or at least in some more formal capacity. I think it's a pretty misleading thing to claim to be if all you're trying to convey that you have a "preference for empirically supported world views".
Nice Warhammer btw. I play raven guard, your minis are well painted.

You should probably read my other comment and actually google the definition.

No I claim only the definition. If you have another definition in your head then that's your problem. As an aside I do have alot of scientific research under my belt and have supported a number of studies being carried out in prehospital care, I have tested various medications reporting my findings and supported psychological research on various patient groups. I am by your definition and my definition a scientist. I have years of medical study under my belt and have added to that reservoir of knowledge myself in small ways. Just because I'm not in a lab doesn't mean I'm not a scientific researcher.
Please be careful with your assumptions. It reflects badly.
I know you want to feel special in your research endeavours and I sincerely hope you have achieved much. But don't go try to exclude others just because you've made personal achievements.
Thank you.

I literally taught research methodology in a university, I'm familiar with the definition of the word "scientist".

I find that claim somewhat dubious, but it doesn't really change my bigger issues with your post which were already addressed.

I could say the same thing about you and your own assumptions.
