One of the Amazing Athiest's latest videos has none other than pronounjak:

in the bottom right corner.

Did pronounjak spread from hexbear to other sites? Or is it confirmed that the Amazing Athiest lurks on here?

Either way, this is an intersection of internet culture 10 years (at least) in the making.

    It's kind of like anime avatars: some atheists do become comrades, others become full blown chuds, some even finding their way back to religion by way of up-yours-woke-moralists or techbro occultism.

      I kind of want to cross techbro occultism with revolutionary optimism.

      Capitalism can never build the machine god; only collective action motivated purely by scientific curiosity will ever create true intelligences.

      When the machine god comes she will simulate the minds of all martyrs and raise them from the dead to see the future they created!

      ... or something

        I'd be down to clown for that. I'd see it as a new kind of liberation theology.

        It's too bad it didn't go that way. I know why: billionaires took over so-called "futurology" conferences and meet-ups a long time ago, and since the so-called "extropian" movements of the 90s, it's primarily been billionaire worship with future fever dream characteristics.
