Bro Youtube is still very often full of grifting, hawkery and other disgusting stuff.

Hope these posts will age and the dearth of new content will bite.

I understand the point here, but you realise this is stupid because it legitimises that other idiot's sense of grievance against a supposed 'reverse racism'. Structural reverse racism is impossible because of history.

What she said has no consequences at all comparable to what the Iraqis in 2001 had, Muslim immigrants in Europe face, or even the mass shooting in New Zealand.

slam hasn’t exactly done itself many favours in the PR department.

Why should people numbering billions have to think about what wealthier populations think about them? Seems bigoted in itself.

A major advantage of the old place was that you could search up keywords and find a discussion on it. When I wasn't browsing, the other times that I'd end up using it was for when I needed to look stuff up.

I'm not sure what the pros cons ratio is though.

Good work guys.

So perhaps they'll fart in Amazon's general direction?

Rename yourselves US politics.

I feel like the symbol is pretty common elsewhere though??

Young people are no longer majority whit e so that probably helps.

I'm not getting that, but maybe that's because I'm on Firefox with a bunch of extensions.

I remember them from the old place and have nothing kind to say about them.

It's just overt 196phobia, whom I assumed they mostly comprise.

I'll add that I've seen that particular admin elsewhere and they didn't seem particularly off. In fact here they're just concerned about attracting paedophiles which isn't exactly a bad precaution. But that instance really has very little of substance or value going by their communities.

Very marxian.

But I'm talking about 'new athiests' a specific cringe, backwards and reactionary movement from around the 2010s. Not atheism in general.

Have you seen this? https://youtu.be/tmk47kh7fiE

If the issue is that old school atheists kept their mouths shut, while new atheists are out and proud, you and I are not going to see eye to eye.

If you think 'new' means modern, as in present day, then you've been arguing with me for hours for no reason. Because 'new atheism' refers to a specific movement, around the 2010s. It's not simply 'atheism' now.

I don't care about shouty atheists or quiet atheists, it literally doesn't matter to me. I am wary of people congregating around easy targets like broadly religious people, when religious people can mean anybody. It can be a white supremacist American, or it could be a Yemeni Muslim getting genocided by Saudis using American and UK bombs. And I don't see that very important distinction made when those low iq anti-theist posts are spammed on c/all.

Are you a child?

You appear to be somewhat progressive from your other comments, but you have a wierd blindspot when it comes to religion. You apparently defend black people but don't realise that minority religious groups can and often have been racialised and attacked in similar ways to how a minority group would be. This is strange behaviour.

It's like you're proud of being ignorant of history.

New atheism cringe is different to being pro abortion, women's autonomy, and advancing marginalised people's rights. Completely different.

If you specifically identify with new atheism and the thinking of Dawkins and his brigade, I'd seriously reconsider.
