Seriously mate. How the fuck are they this dense to justify the star stuff comment. That’s the one thing that made soyence worshippers look like faggots.

Carl Sagan is basically a God to all Reddit Fedora Tippers for his Cosmos show. He is a large reason for Science turning into Soyence.

Because by specific theories that model this stuff and experiments with particle accelerators it does at least show how stellar cores and later supernovae can create the elements that shape life. On a limited scale we have performed things akin to transmutation, and stars do that on a larger scale, demonstrated by looking at them with spectrograms that show what lightwaves they emit and comparing them to the elements own signature.

However I absolutely hate the smug and fucktarded way they tried to brag about how "they're totally right btw". That shit is so stupid that they do more damage than the Christians they hate do by claiming he converted on his deathbed.

That shit’s way too autistic. Also, this star stuff is used to downplay the significance of human beings by trying to dumb down the role of such. They’re libshits and they care more about asteroids than their own family because of how much self-hatred they have.

Let's see how triggered Rationalwiki's staff will be if we troll them by saying then Marxism is white supremacy in disguise or Karl Marx is a fucking white male.

Marx did express his belief that his political ideas would really only work well in an industrialized society, with the places he thought having the highest chances of occurring and working correctly being places like the UK, Germany, France, or the US. This was because of his beliefs that workers in these areas are not just exploited even worse by the capitalist system due to the fucking awful work standards in a lot of factories at the time, but due to having larger amounts of contact with others and rising literacy rates. He predicted that they'd be more aware of and likely to rail against their exploitation.

He actually predicted and stated that areas outside of these would not be capable of making it work like that, and even used Russia as an example. He instead stated and predicted they would come to a different methodology, likely using agrarianism or some other interest for the worker in less industrialized areas as the lever.

Also bro was antisemitic. Not rabidly so, but it was a side effect of thinking religion was used as a bandaid to ignore societal issues. He also just didn't like Jews that much due to the common stereotypes, which is funny since he's ethnically Ashkenazi though his family were apathetic Catholics.

There was an article posted in A&H that I think does a good job of explaining this phenomenon:

Commandment #1: Thou shalt believe in nothing​

The Redditor is a materialist nihilist whose moral vacuum gives way to Current-Thingism, a fickle but fierce devotion to whatever happens to be institutionally approved right now. LOL nothing matters, everything is random, and we’re all just talking monkeys with magic skeletons flying through space doing epic bacon schmexytiems on a science rock.

The Redditor has contempt for heritage, ritual, tradition, and historical continuity. That’s stuff his mean parents made him do, and he doesn’t have to do it anymore. He can stay up all night eating candy and playing video games or whatever he wants. He can live in an eternal Panglossian present, which is always better than what came before (nobody in the ‘50s was happy). The past is slavery, it’s marital rape, it’s a morality so rigid and at times alien that it’s probably better to not even think about it.

You need to release your grip on anything transcendent or eternal and embrace the warm cocoon of the contingent. You need to constantly question basic civilizational assumptions and snippily disregard them. You should do whatever you can to undermine and denigrate anything your dad thinks is sacred with wholesome chungus vulgarity. “Wholesome chungus,” by the way, is the application of a cutesy veneer over things that would have previously been considered pathetic and disgusting, a way to force social acceptance of things that aren’t particularly acceptable. Sweet little old Betty White telling dick jokes? Wholesome Chungus. A husband celebrating the leftovers from his wife’s dates with other men? What a mature, wholesome chungus fellow. Your favorite kiddie character saying “trans rights”? A celebration of the disposal of yesterday’s assumed values.

The Redditor never met a trope he didn’t want to invert, or a tradition he didn’t want to transgress. Let the girl propose marriage. What if the Christ metaphor in Narnia was voiced by a woman? What if every fictional redhead was instead black? Let the morbidly obese woman be a billboard model – bonus points if she has a weird skin thing. Be gay, do crime! Say the cuss word. Call the president “Fuckface von Clownstick.” Give a best man speech so prurient that our poor hypothetical grandma has to get up and leave the room. You can always get a new dildo-juggling grandma. Wouldn’t that be epicsauce?

It's worth noting that these rules collapse under the weight of their internal contradictions. Believe in nothing...but houseless BIPOC transfolx are magic. Be a decent human...until it's time to punch a Republican nazi. Let people enjoy things… unless you’re enjoying anything made before 2013. Trust the science… unless it’s IQ statistics.

That’s because unlike a real religion, Redditism isn’t really a belief system. It’s a refutation of belief, a moral void filled by selfishness and novelty. It’s a luciferian negation of the good, the healthy, the beautiful, the natural. It must be actively opposed because the Redditor fundamentally wants to be annihilated, and he wants to take you out with him. He wants his skull (and yours) to be crushed by the thighs of the Great Muscle Mommy in his head.

We can understand the Redditor’s political predisposition as a response to a frustrating and confusing world that mostly wants to destroy geeky guys. Redditism is a posture of supplication in the face of a devouring liberalism: I don’t need or want a family, a connection to a place, a country or a genetic lineage. I do not need or want agency. I will give up my family, I will recite the sacred dogmas, I will eat the bugs, I will be a decent heckin’ human, I will live and die a perfect consumer who goes along with every new liberal demand, no matter how internally inconsistent, no matter how humiliating – just let me have my goon cave and my vape pen and I’ll do whatever you ask.

Also this reminds me of this infamous tweet by lolcow Chuck Wendig that I think epitomizes “Reddit humor” as a concept:

Carl Sagan is probably the second most guilty party for the invention of the mythical version of Hypatia and I will never forgive him for it. Redditors gooning to the idea of a hot young science atheist being murdered by inbred christian radicals (when in fact she was pretty old, not an atheist, an almost all of her accomplishments and literally all of her quotes are fabricated) will never die thanks to this proto-redditor.

Any updates on the lawsuit?
Click to expand...
None that I can find, looks like the suits were all dismissed voluntarily about six weeks ago. We know the plaintiffs' RW pages were deleted, since settlements need not be public we have no way of knowing if there were other terms (payout, changes to editorial policy, etc.) on top of that.

It looks like these suits were meant to scare people off volunteering with RW and set an expectation that the site will delete pages in response to litigation; if there is a second wave of suits coming to bankrupt the site they have not surfaced yet.

"Abloo bloo muh internet freak show patrons/Jerry Springer watchers are MEAN and call people NAMES that means they're part of the SECRET NAZI CONSPIRACY!" Of course the enlightened minds at ratwiki don't look into the history of stuff, like how the original horror at Chris was in large part due to his reactionary "beliefs", and then at his obvious and intensely cynical and as time told, incredibly destructive to the LGBT movement motives behind trooning out. But, you know, they're just so committed to the idea of all the people they hate being the same person. It's almost like they're... a cult.
