Maybe not "free thinkers" so much as "fedora wearing atheists".
I saw a microcosm of that on Digg where a bunch of "free thinking atheists" started gaming the moderation system to boost their socio-communist ideas. For all their "free thinking" because they rejected conformity and the constraints of "morality and Christianity" but enforced upon themselves the dogmatic beliefs of atheism and socialism.
LGBTQ123 community too. They're so liberal and free thinking but you hit the programming/brainwashing tripwire and boom, it's all NPC talk and conformity.
I feel like atheism is like libertarians. It has no protect from bad actors.
Libertarians are plagued by retards not understanding economics, and just thinking "whatever I want should be legal, I'm libertarian". Left libertarians don't exist. If you just want drugs and abortions, but are otherwise pro-government, you aren't libertarian, you're a degenerate.
Then there are the grifter fags that try to boost individual elements of libertarian ideology - that do not work in a vacuum. Free migration in a welfare state is just parasitism. Free market ideals only work when EVERYONE does them - when the rest of the world is engaging in protectionism and economic warfare, you must as well.
You can apply race to your last point. If only whitey cares about equality(left whitey) meritocracy(boomer right whitey) and every other race is out for themselves you are just being retarded.
