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 one extreme or the other, either new atheists end up seeing the oppressive aspects of organized religion as just one aspect of a larger oppressive political economy and go leftist, or they become right wing nationalists cultural Christians. They don’t believe in it but they also see the systems and practices as being the thing that gives rise to rational Western society, as opposed to the savages with their undeveloped cultural/religious practices.
Alas, it is none other than Lord Commander St. Bhagavan Shree Matt Christman (SWT) awaits at the end...
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
Within the left–right political spectrum, Left and Right were coined during the French Revolution, referring to the seating arrangement in the French Estates General. Those who sat on the left generally opposed the Ancien Régime and the Bourbon monarchy and supported the Revolution, the creation of a democratic republic and the secularisation of society[7]
the left, has always been secular by definition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot's happened since 1800, I think we can value the input of our religious buds and religious Marxists while still keeping in mind that materialism is the lenses we used for a reason
I support people to pursue whatever religion they want, but the society should be secular.
Can confirm. Got converted by Hexbear over the last few months on Lemmy
Ya know it's wild these folks still exist, I'm amazed AA didn't just like go into IT or something but idk if that'd be impossible considering his decently high profile
Amazing Atheist fun fact: there is a video of him shoving a banana up his ass. A few years ago he tweeted something that Jk Rowling saw and somehow she became aware of the banana video. A billionaire may have seen a video of a youtuber shoving a banana up his ass because of her obsession with twitter.
And in that very same comment he called the victim "mean-spirited." Because irony is dead.
Didn't he awkwardly proposition skepchick and then get real weird about her saying no or am I thinking of someone else.
I think that was someone else at an atheist convention if I'm thinking of the right thing
I think that TJ may be left in a v*ush-type way. TJ has always had reactionary beliefs while claiming to be liberal. As the other comment mentions, he was pro-Bernie in 2016 and I remember at the time there some attempts to make TJ the face of the "bernie bros" because he was pro-Bernie while also having made sexist content. Despite TJ making sexist and somewhat racist content up until at least 2016, he was still anti-republican and in some ways pro-LGBT from the start.
In the recent years, maybe since covid, his position seemed to change from antiwoke/anti-SJW to prowoke/proSJW, in his terminology. In the video of the thumbnail of this post, TJ is arguing against an antiwoke youtuber. I don't think he's actually read any left economic theory like Marx or Kropotkin or whoever. He had a video 1-2 years ago where he said that he was refusing to read theory because he was lazy.
The most recent interaction I could find between TJ and V*ush was 8 days ago on a podcast called Deep Fried Fat, podcast owned by TJ also features his friend Paulsego and his brother Scotty. I skimmed a few minutes of the 2 hour video and it seems like V*ush is arguing that people should vote for Biden in 2024 and everyone else is arguing against voting for Biden.
It would be funny if he was on hexbear but more likely one of his fans gave him the meme image. I am happy that he has somewhat changed his ways, he's no longer leading the anti-SJW youtube, but I still can't stand to watch his videos.
Oh cool, so he's literally just another shoeonhead, another ex gamergater asshole who everyone will pretend is left because he wants healthcare until he inevitably goes mask off and everyone pretends they were never taken in by his "change"
seems like V*ush is arguing that people should vote for Biden in 2024
Been a few years I think. I'm pretty sure it began around Sanders' 2015 ascendency but could be wrong, I've seen TAA two times in the last decade.
It is wild how much of the atheism movement was just weaponizing white supremacy to fight god.
Is this some other type of Blade? The only Blade I know is the vampire hunter played by Wesley Snipes
