Somehow... I'm not surprised. I mean Phil has already been Atheist before but now he's trying it again because he has the same concept of "edgy" as a 13 year old. Sorry Phil but your religious beliefs don't shock or offend me. Unless you put on a fedora and grow out a neckbeard. Then... well then I'll just laugh at you for being more exceptional than usual. You're basically only a step away from being a living 4chan joke anyway at this point, might as well embrace it.
Honestly though, if Phil wanted to be really shocking or edgy these days, I'd think he'd get into that weird fundamentalist Roman Catholic shit a lot of the white supremacists seem to be getting into.
Also I love that he has to claim which specific denominations of Judaism and Buddhism he claims to have followed, as if that makes much difference. Most people would just say the religion. My feeling is with the Reformed Judaism he wants to emphasize that he was one of the "good" liberal Jews who is pro-gay marriage and Palestine, as opposed to the "evil" Zionists. As for the Buddhism, no clue, beyond him being a weeb and trying to emphasize the Japanese connection there. But the Jewish thing I think we can reasonably chalk up to anti-Israeli bigotry.
Phil scores 63.6% on "altruism"? Fucker lies even when doing a test for fun; lying has become his second nature.
Actually I could see that, since he most likely either intentionally tailored his answers to match whatever he thought would be the right "Communist" thing to say (because he is that dumb and doesn't really have opinions on things) or because he simply answered with whatever he thought would give him the most stuff (for example, if the question said something like "do you think people who can't work should receive money from the state").
I love the fact that it says he's more skeptical considering that Phil is almost as gullible as Chris! As long as he believes something is somehow tangentially tied to "Antifa," he'll embrace is whole heartedly!
Oh boy, this means there's a whole new world of buttons, stickers and various paraphernalia Phil can buy (in a wholly non-materialistic way, of course).
Ha, I sometimes wonder if Phil just gets into certain things solely because they have all sorts of accessories and slogans for him to autistically obsess over. Just like every other 13 year old rebel, he can't wait to tell you how he's an anarchist/vegan/Wiccan/punk/feminist/Satanist/LGBT/Communist/whatever-the-fuck-else. And he does have that same autistic obsession with rhyming as Chris ("dykes on bikes," "bash the fash," "Antifa crime minister," etc).
I think Phil actually is going through a crisis of sorts at the moment, and the reason he gets so triggered about getting a job of late is because he’s coming to realise he’s wasted his life and no one cares about his pretend badassery.
He does seem to be bouncing and squeaking an inordinate amount lately. While he sucks at coping with stress in general, and lacks even the most basic modicum of self-awareness or self-reflection, I think it's fair to say Phil knows he's getting older even if he doesnt want to admit it, and he knows he doesn't really have any friends and people have largely stopped paying attention to him online. I know he's doubled down on the autistic super soldier crap but it seems like he knows he's an outsider, not one of the "cool" liberal activist kids. The hip young Portland 20 somethings with trust funds set up by their parents can afford cool toys and nice apartments and fancy vacations while Phil... let's just say even he can tell they're just humoring him at best. Life must really suck when you've based everything around identity politics that only last for a couple years... and you still manage to cock up and do it wrong.
