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

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.
