    I never stopped! When I was much younger and a clueless reactionary trad I was mostly operating on vibes. I had some personal experiences that made me catch up with reality, realized how privileged I was and how my ideology was fundamentally unsustainable, then began to rapidly move left and explore the radical traditions that have existed across Catholic history.

    e: wait I see why my first comment was confusing, 'as a reaction to annoying reddit atheists' is all part of the same clause. I mean that I was reacting to that style of atheism by being more 'trad' because I perceived all of the effects of new atheism as really negative and the opposite of what I wanted to be.

      Ohh, yeah. I guess your comment and mayo_cider's got blended together in my brain, lol.
