I mean there will always be a social bias affecting science since it is done by humans who live in a particular society. But the range of restrictions can certainly vary a lot, and it's pretty certain that fascists will have a much more narrow of fields people are allowed to explore. We can already see this starting to happen with stuff like climate science, forestry, and other important fields being shut down.
That’s true, but I think we shouldn’t belittle the restrictions that exist in a liberal society. It’s not just a social bias, it’s ideology pushed onto us by government and other financiers. Just ask any Palestinian scholar about it.
I don't disagree with that, I'm merely pointing out that it will get a whole lot worse soon.
