"Surrender White People" Seriously? That's mainstream now?
@GadSaad
I know this might be naive advice. But given what this is doing to you and
@jordanbpeterson
, have you considered moving to the United States and applying to become a citizen?
@GadSaad

But Gad you don't get it! It's okay when they act just like Social Justice Warriors and play identity politics because

It's not "based" or "cool" to be working with this guy nor those like him.
Let me be clear. If you like what is being said here, you're not "on my side" in the culture wars. You are toxic and just as much of a threat as the woke and you WILL be defeated.
Antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist Nick Fuentes says that when his America First movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed: "When we take power, they need to be given the death penalty ... They must be absolutely annihilated when we take power."

Stuff like this is why we had to launch

@girlscouts
Sad to see that
@girlscouts
have given into political partisanship. If women are being celebrated for being women and advancing politically in American society then women on both the mainstream left and the mainstream right should be treated equally.
Those who are against cities burning won today.
Those who believe in law and order won today.
Those who respect the right to self-defense won today.
Those who DON'T see 1000 genders, "systemic" racism, and trigger warnings, won today.
Normal people left and right, won today.
Really disappointing to see. Especially since we at
@AtheistsLiberty
sponsored the
@TPUSA
Student Action Summit in the past where we encountered LOTS of atheists and agnostics that are a part of TPUSA chapters and watch shows such as Tuckers.
I've been proud to be a part of the Conservative movement. The growth and passion that's developed due to anti-woke activism is great
But kicking people out of the tent because you still cling to a 90's judgemental view of what the right should be will only kill our efforts.
Isn't it funny how woke activists support police officers only when the narrative fits the woke agenda? The tone of their posts sound patriotic, as if all of a sudden they always cared about the safety of cops.
Where was the support "for the Republic"during the 2020 BLM riots?
I was worried about the fact that these guys were gaining more popularity and they are. But the fact that the three of them stormed off just showed that they were willing to remove themselves from the conversation when they're genuinely challenged and not ignored by the movement.
Kanye West just stormed out of a livestream on
@Timcast
because Pool refused to go along with West's antisemitic and conspiratorial assertion that Jews control the corporate press.
It's garbage actions like this that explains why

exists. Wokeness and division has fully engulfed the atheist movement and strangled it to death. Support an organization that does not engage in this insanity. And by the way? I stand with

Today the American Humanist Association Board voted to withdraw, effective immediately, the 1996 Humanist of the Year award it bestowed on Richard Dawkins.

For those who say that wokeism isn't real and just some "right-wing buzzword." Yes, some critics are partisan and overuse the term to describe things they don't like, but if you say that this Social Justice movement isn't destroying society, it just shows YOUR partisanship.

@TheQuartering
Why? This is exactly what we've been telling people to do. Buy anti-woke products and support people and companies that align with your values and don't hate you.
This nonsense Barnes & Noble pro 1619 Project email came straight into the top of my inbox. Not surprising since nearly every big corporation in America is going woke.

Christianity isn't the solution to wokeism. People are leaving it in droves and the data isn't fooling us.
If we are to save civilization and religious freedom for all, Christians included, we need Secular solutions.
The "atheism created wokeism" argument is just tiring now.
I felt proud today going to my Russian Barber for a haircut.
Something we need to remember is that Russians who are in the US as well as Russian Americans are not responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. Show some love to both the Russians and Ukrainians who want peace, not war.
New Theism is a cancer. A group of intellectuals trying to make fairytales sound sexy without admitting the truth that they already know.
At that point just throw out your small L liberalism entirely with the bathwater.
Many liberals are strangely eager to concede that liberal societies are morally and spiritually bankrupt without religion to give life meaning, writes

No. New Atheism was not a mistake. It should have gone further -- ensuring that the current culture wars over wokeism wouldn't provide a shield to theocracy nor dogmatic thinking.
All the more proof that Hemant Mehta cares more about his political ideology rather than being a Friendly Atheist in the first place.
You make me glad that I'm no longer welcome in your "movement." Enjoy the scraps.
Congrats to Richard Dawkins for getting praise from *checks notes* the Daily Wire for his trashing of trans people.
My article about the whole mess here:
AACon2022 looks to me like more of a Social Justice wokeie convention rather than an atheist one. Miss the old days of the atheist movement when Social Justice nonsense didn't divide us and kill a community that could have bettered the nation? Check us out at

Woke activists destroyed the atheist movement by creating Atheism+ (Atheism + Social Justice).
Now they're destroying science by turning it into Science+.
When I got my start in politics 10 years ago I combatted a "political correctness" which was on the right -- this idea that religious belief cannot be questioned nor critiqued in the west.
As the years progressed I started to see that same hypocrisy with the left and spent the
We're now starting to see the consequence of the anti-SJW talking point of putting Secularism and "the God debate to the side" in order to defeat a different type of religious authoritarianism.
Opposition to Islamism and Wokeism shouldn't make Christian Nationalism acceptable.
A great example of an extreme feminist/SJW activist, who is totally not one of the many radicals who killed the New Atheist movement.. I was blocked within seconds after my reply. To them: you're an enemy. They will fight for their ideology instead of big tent/nonpartisan work.

@Harvard
Real racism. Real "systemic" issues that are actually plaguing our country and our ability to speak freely.
But since it's in the name of the woke mind virus, mainstream outlets won't pick this up and report on it, and we the normal people from 10 years ago look weird.
More proof that the Coalition of "being against wokeness" is not enough and is crumbling before our very eyes.
I'm starting to not mind that. Those of us who are secular such as
@GadSaad
have been totally reasonable while some of our so called "allies" want us to shut up.
Dear
@TheLaurenChen
, it might have been nice to tag me if you are going to discuss my positions. In any case, let me clarify things for you. Identity politics is the use of one's identity in politics (e.g., voting as a monolithic bloc), or to require that you receive
What's funny is that Seth doesn't even realize that the anti-woke counterculture was born out of New Atheism & the Skeptic Community. People like us who decry Social Justice dogma came from watching shows like YOURS. We're a product of YOU.
The man's work changed my life 15 years ago.
Yet watching Dawkins delegitimize trans people, embrace "woke" caricatures, schedule an (urp) intellectual exercise with Jordan Peterson, and speak in ways that make him a Daily Wire love child is excruciating. -

There are atheists (I would even argue the majority of us) who are against the new woke religion. And we're doing everything we can to fight against it.
I could not be prouder than to support these two amazing individuals (

A Muslim and an ExMuslim coming together to create a coalition of people from across the globe and across the political, social, religious, and cultural spectrums united in their concerted defense of liberty.
I'll also mention that there are atheists who have ALWAYS been on the right - both in Conservative and Libertarian circles who never truly felt at home. Hence why it's so important for the Conservative and Liberty movements to take our concerns at
@AtheistsLiberty
seriously.
Atheists shouldn't sacrifice their atheism in the name of politics. The last thing a free society needs is a culture of cowardice.
Know when to appreciate your allies and when to stick to your guns.
Konstantin is wrong.
We were soft on criticizing other ideas in 2020. People told me that we needed to "play nice" as "woke is worse." Now it's led to this.
No we're not going to "put other fights aside" anymore. We need to fight them NOW. WAKE UP!
There is a crisis of meaning and purpose in our post-Christian world. I wonder if the four horsemen of New Atheism who I still so admire would have been quite as keen for tear down religion if they had seen where it would take us in advance?
My take on the Atheism Delusion:
If we Non-Woke atheists defended faith in order to prevent a different faith from emerging, it would go against many of the very values that we as freethinkers cherish.
I state this critique as a fan: Video soon to come.
If you're getting flak from PZ Myers and his joke of a blog then you know you're doing something right.
Him and the gang of Atheism+ starting in 2011/12 started to spread a virus that ultimately killed the New Atheist movement. And of course when he attacks you, he blocks you.
@charliekirk11
We shouldn't put up with this. If we don't support the people who are defending this country now, all could be lost.
It's time to get serious.
@amazingatheist
lol dude. We're continuing a lot of what you started on YouTube.
When I was a kid I watched your videos all the time. We see Social Justice/Wokeism as a new religion and want to rebuild the atheist movement which was destroyed by the very people who hate BOTH OF US.
@JesseKellyDC
While I mostly agree: calling TPUSA a Christian Conservative organization is inaccurate or should at least be promoted to be inaccurate.
As Charlie Kirk said to a donor once "TPUSA is secular."
I tried to warn people that non-woke atheists being soft on Christianity is a bad idea. Some thought I was exaggerating. Atheist IDWs were told a few years ago that if we put our atheism aside for a bit we can defeat wokeism. That "bit" has passed, now we know that was a lie.
You did great
@libbyemmons
and were absolutely spot on! I don't know what I'd be like if I was still in grade school. If universities are popping out woke SJW's imagine what it'll look like in 10 years when kids your son's age get to college.
The reactions and attacks

Why the right-wing desperately needs more atheism 🧵🧵🧵
The rise of woke ideology is often considered by its opponents to be a result of religion’s decline. In the absence of the deeper meaning from traditional religions, a new “secular” religion has arisen to provide it. 1/10
@kiyahwillis
Woke activists especially in our Colleges and Universities have used the Social Justice Hierarchy so much to justify their points to where it's now working against them. In a way it makes our jobs harder, but it's funny to watch.😄

@SwipeWright

My response to Tim will be released tomorrow afternoon.
The problem that far left woke atheist activists have with the atheist right is that they're not on the left and that they don't support their non atheism/non secular related policy issues
Full stop.
Isn't it amazing how one can just pray away their problems and all of a sudden places who supposedly care about "facts over feelings" will give them a platform.
ITS A GRIFT
@Max_Pillow_
Watch the clip. That's my problem. Any normal person would see that as a problem.
Outside of the internet culture community any rational human being would see those remarks and genuinely go 'WTF.'
@SwipeWright
This is what I'm saying now.
Anti-Woke is not enough. The trad Cath theocrats don't care that we oppose gender ideology and wokeism. They're the right wing version of wokeism.
The IDW big tent of opposing wokeism is collapsing. And I'm now starting to tolerate it as we can
I just found out that the amazing James Randi passed away yesterday. I had dinner with him back in 2017 and got to know the man. He was filled with immense kindness and had a great sense of humor. Here's a photo I took with him during Reason Rally 2 back in 2016.
We are very sad to say that James Randi passed away yesterday, due to age-related causes.
He had an amazing life. We will miss him.
Please respect Deyvi Peña’s privacy during this difficult time.
After observing numerous Twitter threads over the weekend relating to atheism & religion I want to make one thing absolutely clear.
@AtheistsLiberty
will continue to fight for an America where the nonreligious are common, embraced, and celebrated universally.
Just because wokeness exists doesn't mean we should tolerate theocracy nor violations of the separation of religion and government.
Some dogmas are worse than others. But for many in the culture war - we oppose wokeness because it's a new dogmatic RELIGION. Don't forget that.
Why is it that we atheists agree to work together with Christians and put aside our differences in Conservatism (Culture War 2.0) but some theist conservative leaders smear, ridicule, and go after atheists/atheism? Aren't we past that now? Big tent? If not, why should we shut up?
Given the increased dogma being pushed within the culture wars from Creationism to CRT -- there's a need for our Secular America to be protected, both outside and INSIDE the classroom.
For instance, banning mandatory prayer within PUBLIC SCHOOL classrooms wasn't a mistake.
We can criticize you. And we're proudly doing it. Keep it up as it proves time and time again how low the remains of "the community" have gone. I have a stockpiles worth of material just from your page alone that'll prove that not all "friendly atheists" are friendly.
The ridiculous "Godless Grifters" Salon article against the New Atheists only proves my point. Social Justice activists wanted to make attacks like this against the people described in the piece for some time. Want to build bridges and keep fighting? Join

To all those who say that you can't be an atheist and be on the right.
The right isn't "the religious side" and the left isn't the secular side. On each side, there are secularists. And on each side, there are theists who will gladly invoke religion to achieve their goals.
"[The vaccine] is from God to us. And we must say 'Thank you God'...There are people out there who aren’t listening to God + what God wants...I need you to be my apostles, I need you to go out and...say: We owe this to each other."
NY Gov Kathy Hochul @ Christian Cultural Center
God and the Bible? LOL Hey Nick. We live in a secular country where Christians, Jews, and atheists can live together in peace. And the Conservative movement is understanding that reality more year by year.

When you have activists and thinkers know about the reality that our civilization is being destroyed but don't speak up because they "don't want to look like the evil right wingers" as if we're all back in 2011 again: you know we're in deep trouble.
Misogynistic homophobic antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist incel Nick Fuentes is fed up with seeing women's bare arms: "I'm so sick of seeing these women everywhere. They should be wearing burkas."
Atheists who blame the left for becoming a religion but now go after other freethinkers for criticizing religious beliefs only give ammo to the very people that they wanted to pull away from.
It's like they're ashamed to be associated with atheism. Well I'm not.
Woke activists are writing articles about our presence at
#SAS2020
. Meanwhile we're being attacked by groypers on the other end of the spectrum.
If wokeists and theocrats are against us at
@AtheistsLiberty
, you know we're doing the right thing.
We at
@AtheistsLiberty
have had similar interactions with them.
A big mistake the Conservative Movement made was not slashing the religious political correctness in their movement. Thus allowing the Groypers to invade and infect various groups by using Christianity as a clutch.
Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party.
They shouted “nigger” and “faggot” at me to make their point.
However, I served in Iraq.
I never back down.
Ever.
The "god shaped hole" "post atheism" movement is a golden ticket to religious extremists who want to impose theocratic and monarchist regimes in the west.
It won't stop at an "agree to disagree" type of religious intellectualism, but rather an authoritarian "
