  • History is basically thousands of years of horrors during which people mostly believes their deity approved of all the awful things they did. It isnt the decline of the sacred that opened up this particular can of worms.

    If anything its a swing towards authoritianism as a reaction to a whole host of factors.

    • Changing demographics making white people and men afraid of losing their privileged position

    • Decline in relegion making the remaining faithful fearful of living in a world where most disagree with them

    • Apathy on the left due to left wing figures desire not to rock the boat and pwrsue real change

    • Centralization of media by a handful of people with interests more aligned with the right followed by decades of brainwashing

    • A characteristic figure to be the focus of the above

    • Rising inequality to put pressure on the common folks.

    Its weird to live in a world where the atheists overwhelmingly voted for normalcy and the devout voted 70% for fascism and still see godless people blamed for what you voted for.



  • Basically your side believes in 100 kinds of magic and fairy tales, at least in America the majority of self described Christians believe that the earth is less than 10k years old wished into being by what amounts to a prick of a genie and a non trivial minority of these folks believe the Earth is flat.

    After spending their life talking to believers who might as well be actual adult Santa worshippers its easy to be both arrogant and a bit confused by the non imaginary part of the holy heirarchy.
