Antirelativists repudiate any aspect of Einstein's theory except for his 1905 false constant-speed-of-light postulate. Actually, they worship this postulate. Why? Because they are all etherists and Einstein "borrowed" the postulate from the ether theory:

Albert Einstein: "I introduced the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, which I borrowed from H. A. Lorentz's theory of the stationary luminiferous ether." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_ether_theory

Banesh Hoffmann, Relativity and Its Roots, p.92: "Moreover, if light consists of particles, as Einstein had suggested in his paper submitted just thirteen weeks before this one, the second principle seems absurd: A stone thrown from a speeding train can do far more damage than one thrown from a train at rest; the speed of the particle is not independent of the motion of the object emitting it. And if we take light to consist of particles and assume that these particles obey Newton's laws, they will conform to Newtonian relativity and thus automatically account for the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment without recourse to contracting lengths, local time, or Lorentz transformations. Yet, as we have seen, Einstein resisted the temptation to account for the null result in terms of particles of light and simple, familiar Newtonian ideas, and introduced as his second postulate something that was more or less obvious when thought of in terms of waves in an ether.

It is true that many antirelativists are etherists. Yet, it was already known circa 1850 that sound waves share the velocity of the source, causing the Doppler effect. Then why do we frequently hear that the wave theory of light has light independent of the source? Michelson thought light was independent of the source in 1913 in his paper on rotating mirror interferometers.. Why would light be the only wave exempt from the law of physics that everything shares the velocity of the source?

That's why he usually doesn't give arguments in support of his
beliefs, because most of the time he gets it completely wrong.

Laurence just argues and snipes.

In 1850 it was generally thought that light moves in aether as
sound moves in air. If so, then, according to the understanding
at the time, the motion of both light and sound had to be
independent of the motion of the source. Both were also seen
analogous to waves in water surface, which also move independently
of the source.

That motion of water surface waves or sound is independent of the
motion of the source is fairly easy to check experimentally. To
test the same about light is much harder but can be (and has been)
done.

You just keep displaying your personal ignorance of basic physics. Sound
waves DO NOT "share the velocity of the source" -- the speed of sound
waves in air is ~343 m/s RELATIVE TO THE AIR, independent of the speed
of the source (relative to the air).

As it does not happen, that cannot be the "cause of the Doppler effect".

Grow up. LEARN SOMETHING about the subject before attempting to write
about it.

That's not his way. Remember how he "reviewed" a book (Cosmology in
Crisis?: The Fallacy of Universal Expansion by Kenneth Gonder) at
Amazon without bothering to read it first. This "review" has been
edited since I mentioned the original version, posted on 8th July,
which read as follows: "I just bought it, but I already know it's good
because I read a previous book by him. Thumbs up!"

Indeed. The first reliable measurements of the speeds of sound
were done by firing cannon on hilltops. (in suitable weather)

Observers noted the delay between seen muzzle flash and heard sound.
The delay didn't depend on their orientation with respect to the cannon.

Jan

FYA: a 'noon gun' is still fired daily at Kaapstad, South Africa,
every day since 1806.
They are said to be the oldest still functioning guns in the world.
Captains wanting to synchronise their chronometers with the observatory
had their telescopes trained on it, rather than wait for the sound.

Relativists?
Look at retrograde motion. Begin to move yourself on your world line
and there is an equal but opposite appearance around you.
How did you give the other frame your motion? No. It is just
an appearance of it. The real creates that.

Einstein failed to come up with the idea of wave-packets instead of photons particles. Wave-packets are formed by the absolute motion of the source in a structured ether called the E-Matrix. Read my book "Model Mechanics:The Final Theory" in the Library of books in Amazon. .
