It seems TJ has just made a retrospective on Atheism and new atheism. I wonder if he will cover the absolute shitshow that was Atheism+
Adding timestamps as I watch.
Edit: It is SURPRISINGLY self aware... Daaaamn.
Intro:
2:00 Calls it what it is, a Shitshow! Namedrops the people dead an still alive, some gratuitous callink Dawkins a TERF for good measure, so we know what to expect going forward.
3:21 /r/Atheism gets delisted from default subs because they are obnoxious
3:31 Atheism transitions into anti-SJW which in turn transitions into MAGA then back into religion for many of "them"
4:02 Thunderf00t, from atheism to Elon hater (OP: his science content still good)
4:14 Oldfags still doing the same, dark matter/aaron ra/etc...
My rise:
5:15 How I created the anti-sjw content and how irrelevant I'm now
How prevalent is atheism:
8:53 Literally that, Atheism is as unpopular as it gets online, but as common IRL as ever
Atheism as an aftermath of 9/11:
10:25 How 9/11 popularized atheism on the horse of anti-islam and anti-bush
11:59 Patriot act BABY!
12:30 People soured up on religion as a whole after 9/11, but 9/11 long gone, religion ticking up
13:08 Orange man bad and the start of my decline
14:15 How atheism got coopted by gamers and other culture warriors
14:44 Only sexist when men do it.
15:22 Atheism+ and GG mentioned, elaborates on A+ later on
16:32 Year of our Lord 2016, how anti-SJW became MAGA and dropped away from the broader anti-SJW community
17:24 How the algorithm changed because of trump and a mainstream media afraid of the new social media journalism
17:45 How mainstream media caused the Adpocalypse
Atheist bow down to MAGA:
19:46 How America forgot about bush and don't seem Christians as a threat anymore.
21:13 Sargon mentioned. With a surprisingly on-point clip by Sargon, where he says he's an atheist and that Christianity > Islam.
Atheists are cringe:
23:45 I have always being cringe.
24:40 Some feel good stuff
Atheism fractured and fumbled:
25:58 Nietzsche and his fear of nihilism.
27:00 What happens when we remove religion but keep culture; Dawkins and his uneasy relation with cultural christianity
28:10 How a lot of people buy christianity culturally despite knowing god is dead (Some retard take about a rubber gun)
29:45 Atheism+, FreethoughBlogs, Elevatorgate and the retarded schism out of it
31:13 Atheism+ laundry list of rules; PZ Myers mentioned and how he saw A+ to make SJW
32:04 Thunderf00t ban from PZ Myers's FreethoughBlogs and how that alongside other purges elsewhere purged any sensible people out of it
32:57 How many atheists moved into either religion or the secular woke cult (Steve Shives cameo)
Conclusion
34:12 We didn't go far enough.
35:09 Some food for thought...
