the other interesting thing about atheism+ was total capitulation to islam because religiosity is associated tightly with oppressed brown people in the middle east. so please stick only to criticizing exactly one religion even when that religion is being oppressed in the oppressed brown people countries by the religion that you, the atheist, won't criticize

9also the idea that brown people might be christian didn't register lol
there was a lot of circle-squaring in that movement
@sun An extremely large portion of modern American politics boils down to "Fuck you, Dad", and that includes atheism in all of its flavors
@sun of course. It’s as if that movement requires its followers to have no real idea of religious history whatsoever. Coptics don’t exist or never did. Ethiopia is a Muslim country. Aramaic as a language died with Jesus.
@sun atheism+ sounds like loser+
@miscbrains @sun the red-green alliance is one of the greatest tragicomedies of our time.
@jeremiah @miscbrains it's not clear to me why they can't just say "I may not like how they treat people like me but they don't deserve to be genocided"
@sun @miscbrains because that is simple, sensible, and doesn't reinforce the whole colonialism west white is bad narrative. We can't have that.
