A dissident mad science joirnal would be pretty cyberpunk.
But there are some massive hurdles to overcome. What we call "science" uses network effects like citation and prestige to convey legitimacy. That network took decades if not centuries to manifest organically.
The network itself wouldn't be difficult to create. The problem is, science requires money, and all that money is held by universities and the government, both of whom belong to the leftist hegemony. The only way dissident science could be achieved is via private funding, and unfortunately most wealthy right wing people don't care about buying nudges to the Overton window, unlike nearly all wealthy left wing people.
Thousands of scientific journals exist and new ones get created on a regular basis even by dissident scientists who want to publish their own research, however crazy it might be (there is notably long-running one even for cold fusion topics, I'm aware several exist for parapsychology, etc), but they don't have the "Impact Factor" of Nature, so almost nobody cites or even reads the papers they feature.
