Mia de los Reyes and colleagues should be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

Their hatred for our civilization is insane. One feature of narcissism is a "parasitic lifestyle."
These pseudo-scientists are definitely parasites.
I can't do astronomy, but I can screw astronomy up. Aren't I grand?

The left wants to disrespect European (in this case Latino but who cares) explorers, statesmen, scientists. But whom would they respect instead? What discoveries have they made? What inventions? Anything like the story below?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan
Magellan was killed after interceding in an ongoing war between 2 Philippino kings. No one circumnavigated the globe for 58 years after Magellan did it.

naming things in the night sky, which belongs to everyoneAn awful lot of the stars have arabic name origins. Lots of slavery associated there. Greek and Roman mythical stuff as well for much of named astronomical bodies. Still more slavery associations from ancient times. I have no connection to these things so change every named item pretty much in the sky. Of course only if one is being consistent which of course the left never is.

Magellanâs voyage helped pave the way for Spanish colonialism in South America, Guam and the Philippines, says de los Reyes, who is Filipino American. âMany people see Magellan as a villain in the Philippines.âIn my best Archie Bunker voice Would it make you feel better, little girl, if they was enslaved and killed by Chinese explorers instead?

“Scientists” obey their colonial masters.
Today they have new colonial masters so they need to rename everything.

How about “No”.
These types are never satisfied; they’ll just continue to move the goalposts.
Give em an arcsecond and they’ll take a parsec.
