    I want to civilly hit him in the face with a brick. Dumb shithead set back my mission to kill god by years with his Islamaphobic dipshittery.

      It's a simple, biological fact and reality that Richard Dawkins is meant to be hit in the face with a brick

      source: same ass richard dawkins pulled his transphobic "facts" from

    I stopped paying attention a long time ago. But I'm shocked that Richard Dawkins would have an opinion this bad. I'm also shocked that FB gives a fuck about transphobia now.

      This was always going to be Richard Dawkins’ path. Over the past few years he’s really leaned into it though and now he knows where to get beanis for his toast.

      A few months ago Dawkins was calling himself “culturally Christian” to show that he was against the Ramadamification of Christmas in Br*tain.

      It was never about atheism, science, rationality, or enlightenment values. It was about otherizing non-white (edit: and non-cis people) people in Europe and “The West.” It’s why the new atheists got popular after 9/11 and why nobody blinked when people like Sam Harris were going around calling for nuclear first strikes against “the Muslim world.”

    Imagine having a PhD from Oxford in biology and still getting basic biology wrong.

    Richard Dawkins read Imane Khalif’s genome sequencing analysis out of a hat that he swears exists and is true but none of us are allowed to see it because God would be mad about it.

          Unironically this though

          I feel like people who value science and debunking conspiracy theories are important for society but every single time they just reveal themselves to be libs and end up spreading anticommunist lies like the DPRK being an "evil" country where the people worship the Kim family like deities

          I realize that no one is immune to propaganda but damn man....they at the very least they see capitalism is the problem but they can never arrive at the correct conclusion

    Genetically Neanderthal authors such as Richard Dawkins (crakkker undisputed) should not have civilized arguments with humans on Facebook.

    Somehow this sounds no more stupid than what he wrote.

          Well shit, I meant that he's less of a odious public figure than Dawkins within the last, decade maybe? I'm aware of the heinous shit Tyson did in the 90s and didn't mean to sound like I'm minimizing that

    Dawkins is such a fucking dork. At least when he was just a loud atheist, it was funny watching Christians clutch pearls but this "only 2 genders" era of him is just fucking cringe.

      If he'd just shut up, he could have been the guy who coined the term "meme" and been remembered as a relatively successful minor celebrity debate-bro.

        I think this a lot about of celebs that don't know how to shut up. Like, Rowling could have made Harry Potter, raked in millions and then disapppeared into obscurity instead of becoming Twitter's transphobia poster child.
