strongly dislike the implication that being an atheist makes you of inferior moral standing such that it entails being a chud, or, in the elision popular these days, a fascist. all the fascists are religious nutjobs and their friends in this country

"Reddit atheists" are real, and they have an incredible hit rate on picking groups that would be malefactors in our society. The real issue is that there were largely teens and therefore posted cringe. Since everyone is 12 posting cringe is unforgivable

And maybe this is because I fell out of the community before it got rancid('05-'10) but of the groups that I viewed as malefactors in that period, only 1 has managed to get better. The rest have all metastasized into worse versions and formed an alliance.

reddit atheism is only real insofar as it points to a caricature of an early 2010s subculture of people dealing with actually awful home environments but you're right in that it is probably the hardest self-cringe instinct for me to kill at least i'm not white enough to have needed gnosticism

Honestly I thought the same up until 4 days ago (got quoted Ayn Rand 6 times in one day)

I didn't know these people were real up until one slid into my DMs
