Assassin's Creed 4 but take out all the assassin stuff and add more pirate stuff. You know, since Ubisoft proved they can't do this themselves. In general, I want a GOOD story based pirates game. Give me a new Sid Meier's Pirates even. Sea of Thieves doesn't cut it.

But the New Atheist movement around 2010 is not synonymous with Redditor atheism. Not to mention, why would nihilists and hedonists be susceptible to becoming SJWs? SJWism is not a nihilistic or hedonistic ideology.

I don't disagree with your theory of human nature (although I'd say it requires a flexible definition of "religion"). But why would the New Atheist movement - a movement that had a pretty strong culture of enlightenment values (and thus *already* had a "religion" of sorts - a shared system of beliefs and values) be the first to fall to SJW infiltration? Or, if we're being conspiratorial, why was the New Atheist movement the *first* part of nerd culture targeted for infiltration/destruction?

gt; I’m not sure if I’m misinterpreting you, but virtually none of this woke SJW nonsense is a conspiracy in the way that there’s a group of bad actors that are working together to infiltrate different sectors of culture.

The introduction of Atheism+ is precisely the destruction of/attempt to usurp the atheist community that I'm talking about. And like you said, it worked very well! What I am interested in is WHY this part of nerd culture was the FIRST part of nerd culture to fall to SJW infiltration (and/or be targeted by SJWs for infiltration). Why did Atheism+ happen *before* Gamergate for example?

> If you think that religious morality is based around punishment in the afterlife than your understanding of religion is fundamentally broken. It depends on the religion. Not all religions are the same. But the Abrahamic Monotheisms do, in general, promote the idea of punishment in the afterlife for disbelievers and sinners. Buddhism and Hinduism operate differently, sure.

Interesting way to reformulate the question. You're right that lots of atheists resisted atheism plus. Maybe that was really what happened. In which case the answer to my question is "the Enlightenment Values part of the subculture realized the SJWs were fucking demented and rebelled."

Nihilists are susceptible to SJWism because that ideology gives nihilists a base sense of meaning to their lives, even if it’s an illusory one. And you will say, well if they are true nihilists they would never buy into SJWism. But the thing is that true nihilism will lead to depression and aimlessness which will not be a pleasant experience. If SJWism will at least temporarily relieve them of their depression they will probably take it

>Nihilists are susceptible to SJWism because that ideology gives nihilists a base sense of meaning to their lives, even if it’s an illusory one. But they'd be equally vulnerable to *any other* ideology. Why SJWism in particular? If nihilism is so painful *any* ideology would fill the void.

Ahhh, thank you. Do you really think the New Atheist movement was being used to drum up pro-war-on-terror support? I think the majority of the movement was quite anti-war-on-terror (with a few notable exceptions). Not only that but at the time, the biggest demographic rallying for the war on terror was the evangelical right, which the New Atheist movement opposed.

And You know - that are many references to Slavic folk tales. OK, there are also many references to globally known things, like "Tolkienian" fantasy, Arturian myths or fiary tales like "Beauty and the Beast", but for e.g. story about "devil" that You wrote about is reference to popular in Poland tales about people outsmarting devils (which are probably based on older tales about pagand demons/fiends).

Some Earth scientists use their new power to declare themselves gods, and their religions represent various bizarre Earth ideologies (there is, for example, a goddess who preaches a bizarre mishmash of Islam, ecologism, communism and LGBT or goddes of pacifism that is hipnotyzing people into powerless puppets), and the mains charactera are a toxic-masculine commando to take them out and a local emperor overthrown by the aforementioned fanatician.

So you'd argue that SJWs sincerely attempted to take it over, but in doing so the differences between SJW and non-SJW atheists meant the movement naturally ruptured due to infighting, resulting in the SJWs destroying the atheist movement albeit unintentionally.
