in retrospect, it's easy to see the signs now of how faggotry was to overtake atheism.

No, the signs were always there.

Most of us were simply too naive and trusting. We believed that the version of reality presented was real, albeit having never experienced it ourselves. Others has, surely, and they all can't be lying, right?

I consider it one of my greatest shames to have been misled for a time into /r/atheism type nonsense. Though I know that mistakes are often required for growth, it still is shocking how effective such propaganda is.

GamerGate will always be the premier of social bullshittery, however atheism+ was just as incredible for how blatant it was. And guess what? In the end atheism+ basically won by simply refusing to exist and toeing the party lines.

I think people in general need a more rigid education in propaganda tactics and ideological subversion. In my daily life I try to teach people what I can but that conditioning is so difficult to break. Sadly most seem to KNOW that their reality and belief structures are lies, but they don't care because they BELIEVE they're on the winning team.

im from a mostly atheistic but still conservative family , a lot of these so called atheists always struck me as just being people that were bitter about their strict christian parents or something and so do everything to get back at them. Not true atheists who look at things objectively
