Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don’t think it’s appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it
If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?
Reddit atheism is white nationalism under the pretense of philosophy. Famous examples are Asmongold going on a rant about inferior cultures. Richard Dawkins recently said he is a cultural Christian and there is no genocide in Gaza.
What they meant was “we hate brown people” but they wrap it in a few layers of pretend.
It is largely a consequence of liberalism and the focus of trying to prove the white man is scientifically superior by figures such as Darwin.
Here is a large video addressing it https://youtu.be/xPgTeq8d8tg?t=31m25s
This is correct, reddit atheism is basically just islamophobia / western supremacy dressed in an atheist garb.
It’s basis comes from the 90s-2000s US imperialist wars on Iraq and the Middle East, and defenses of western imperialism from an anti-religious standpoint:
I used to think so too but the actual past was far earlier than 90’s imperialism. It was at the core of the ‘enlightenment’.
Darwin was notoriously obsessed with proving the white man (not woman) was the ultimate specimen.
The video I linked covers quite a lot more history, I timestamped the colonial era but even figures such as Hegel which inspired Marx had some pretty edgy ideas about religion and race. That is discussed in a segment before it.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
