Hmmm...

So you are now blaming Anjem Choudary for stuff other people did while he was in jail - namely the authorities being incompetent, and unable to stop his followers from joining ISIS?

The UK political system holds Anjem Choudary totally innocent for anything which happened while he was in jail, and now he gets 2 million a year in police protection.

And you claim Tommy Robinson should get the same treatment as Anjem Choudary....

That may or may not be so. The point is, do you hold Choudary totally innocent for anything which happened while he was in jail, as you appear to do with Tommy Robinson?

Yeah, I brought that up at WEIT, and got mobbed by the local SJWs for pushing a 'birther' style rightwing conspiracy theory.

Does your pre-emptive putative comment reflect your actual position? Or is it ground merely held temporarily for effect (and customised for it's intended audience)?

It could in a certain light make you sound like a sarcastic bastard, or at least an insincere one.


It's already been established (under the 'Dear Muslima' directive) that all positions are of equal importance - even though some are more equal than others.

IIRC, the brouhaha started with a post by Rationality Rules made shorty after RR appeared as a guest host on AXP. I believe the post concerned trans-women competing in the Olympics in women’s events. He was against that.

I would have just said: "I will soon welcome the day when all women's sport are dominated by virile she-men."

Women will probably have to work out for themselves if the introduction of women to women's sport will give an unfair advantage where women dominate women in these activities.

They can then act accordingly - perhaps even going as far as to ban women from women's sports.

Every group must put trans rights above all else. That is why Atheism+, the Reason Rally, March for Science, etc. all ended up being about diversity, inclusion and trans rights.

It would be ironic if the ACA succumbed to anti-science wokeness on trans issues. Some of the Atheist Experience goons are already guilty of this (the women in particular).

It is extra delicious that they are not woke enough, however, for PZ.

FUCK those in the atheist/skeptic movements who throw their rationality, skepticism, and common sense under the bus, as soon as some new anti-science fad comes along. Really, FUCK 'em. The damage they have done to any potential skeptic movement can't be calculated.

Oh. PZ, if you are reading this - go and get a fresh dog turd, blowtorch it to get it to a creme brulee consistency, and then slurp the stuff down. Go on, you fucking piece of detrius.

I would be delighted to have either adjective applied. You might want to check out the bastard part with my parents when you join them in the afterlife, though. I see my comment has still not appeared, so it must have been pre-emptively memory-holed. Wonderful how how PZ can tell in advance which of us and our thoughts must be suppressed for the greater good. If God were an asshole, he would be a pretty good simulacrum.

In that case sarcastic and insincere are exactly the same and I shall still have no grounds for complaint in either case. But if all positions are equal, why was the Dawk made PNG for the Dear Muslima letter? Ah, I see. The some are more equal than others part. Yes. Equal if we agree, less than dirt if we do not. Got it.

Isn't that the exact point of stereotypes? That they represent the likely nature of the group so described? And that intelligent people understand that individuals are not necessarily like the stereotypical norm that describes the whole group?

More interestingly (sorry, Matt), who else finds Marie Henein utterly, ravishingly hot? I would. Wouldn't you?

Apparently not when it comes to blacks, that's verboten. But blacks are notoriously stingy tippers, for one. So if you're a waitress, are you gonna bust your butt for a four-top of blacks? That particular table might not fit the stereotype, but if you heed it table after table, night after night, you won't waste your time & energy.

I shouldn't have bothered with Hastie. She's always railing about how racist America is. She lives in New fucking Zealand and once saw IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. Give me a fucking break.

The 'could' gives me a bit a wiggle room. And the 'make you sound' was at worst tone policing. As to the afterlife - alternative arrangements may be in play so I may well not have the chance to meet up with the aforementioned antecedents.

In the end I find arguments in good faith easier to follow. Though obviously they are not necessary more effective than any other sort when dealing with PZ and those of his ilk.

That's not quite it. DM is that All Grievances are Equally Valid, with the caveat that they (of course) don't really think it anyway. (That could be said of most of their views. They're ready to jettison most anything when the opportunity arises to leverage something, anything, for power and influence. So trans grievance can be put on the front burner because they're the most vulnerable minority.) If DM were actually All Positions are Equally Important, then that would be an argument for Freeze Peach, and they're sure as hell not going to argue that.

Like most of the principles they come up with on the spur of the moment to satisfy some desire to quash discussion, Dear Muslima is as dumb as a box of rocks. (See, for instance, Intent isn't Magic.) They work around that by ignoring it, most of the time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMh6Sh3Qwa8
I think the lesson here is that you don't go to war unless you are fully committed to fighting and possibly going down for your cause. I don't know what McInnis had in mind for the proud boys when he started them, but what he effectively did was to start a protest movement that rallies against feminism and promotes "western chauvinism". Its hard to imagine that he wouldn't expect pushback for that, and with the proud boys out holding rallies and scrapping with Antifa, it's easy for the media to find a place in the narrative for them. Interestingly, the proud boy ideology actually isn't all that extreme, it basically seems to be that western culture is awesome, that there is some value in traditional gender roles, and that anti-racism and feminism are extreme reactions to non-issues.



If he had limited himself to running his mouth, or being an agent provocateur he probably could have made it into the "intellectual dark web" circuit. The fact that he started something that looks like a gang (I don't want to get into semantics about whether it is or not) probably makes him a bit more radioactive.

IMO his big mistake was failing to embrace the proud boys and run with his creation. He was going to lose all his lefty friends and get character assassinated by the media the second he started that group, and quitting the proud boys was never going to help his case. Now he looks like a whiner who isn't committed to his own beliefs. Alternately, his mistake was creating the proud boys at all if he didn't want to go full, balls-to-the-wall culture warrior.

https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/201 ... 4549047142
That's stupid even by Mehta's low standards. As a Jewish kid growing up in rural Oklahoma, going to Temple wasn't practical - the nearest one was ~30 miles away. However, my parents thought I needed to be exposed to some religion, so I went to the nearby Methodist church, which was (a) overtly evangelical, (b) very into the whole "God is love" deal, not to mention (c) Entirely welcoming to, albeit a bit puzzled by me.

This is not to say there weren't plenty of hateful Christians around. There were. For example, the (white) Southern Baptist church where my wife grew up wasn't exactly the loving sort. And on an individual level, my Christian Scientist third grade teacher was a particularly nasty piece of work who didn't hesitate to bring her religion into class. (And in doing so put me on the road to atheism.)

But by claiming that decent Christians don't and didn't exist, these fools are alienating a lot of people who aren't comfortable with Trump and with the right message could be persuaded not to vote for him.

Jesus wept.

Still, it’s clear Sunday Assembly hasn’t solved the problem of how to recreate churches for people who don’t care for organized religion....

Ah Yes... my memories of Sunday Assembly coming back to me. I was very active in the Detroit Sunday assembly. I directed the music, held the band practices, hosted and ran the book club. But, the people who were self appointed leaders were SJW retards. They would spurn members who didn't have the correct way of thinking. They were Fem bot creeps. I tried to include everyone which was a wild mix of libertarian leaning atheists, and woo woo spiritualists, and religion haters, etc. The theme was that they were "radically inclusive" but what this turned into was "mega-progressives only". One guy was told to leave because he posted a picture of himself on Facebook in his father's US Army Ranger uniform. The bitches that "ran" thing were scared.... and I'm like... "He is proud of his father's service in the military" and they concluded that he was a threat. Haha.

I think we lacked wise leadership. I don't know where this wise leadership comes from. Ministers are trained in wise leadership.

But, really, when it is all done and said, secular groups simply lack cohesion. They have no sense of shared commitment. I went to a Catholic wedding last week. I have lots of Catholic friends. and... while they are all very different, they have a sense that their shared spirituality makes them part of a club... a cohesive family... a family with some foundational beliefs.

That would be fantastic! Can you imagine Wu joining that group? How many weeks before her borderline personality disorder kicked in and she went nuts on them, calling them all transphobes because she thought one of them looked at her funny? I wished I lived in her district so I could vote for her.

Imagine Wu and AOC having an argument, bugging eyes and all. It'd look like two fucking mutant lizards fighting over a piece of rotten apple.

BoJo it is, then.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth on twitter is quite wonderful to behold.

It is inevitable that Trump will insult here, just like he has insulted the other four. Imagine the news conference where she fires back.

IMO this is probably the reason for Peezus's attemted redefinition of "atheism", and his screeds about "dictionary atheists". A lack of belief in god doesn't make a community, and doesn't imply any kind of shared values. I guess it's too bad for PZ that you can't force this kind of cohesion by engaging in bad philosophical arguments about what should logically follow from a lack of belief in God.

To your point about wise leadership, at least part of that has to be actual inclusivity. The SJWs are always on about how "inclusive" they are, but as you illustrated, they are hypervigilant about rooting out and excluding anyone with thoughtcrime against progressivism. Its ironic to me that a bunch of people like PZ, who are often very critical of Christianity, embody the holier-than-thou Christian stereotype so well. Nobody feels comfortable in a place where they have to walk on eggshells all the time, and no community is going to grow if you have to be perfect to join it.

I've never really tried attending this sort of Sunday meeting for secular people, because I was afraid it would basically be what you described. The closest thing I've found to that was when I started training BJJ around a year ago. You can train at the school I go to as long as you aren't a dick (by non-SJW standards) or a pussy (which keeps all the SJWs out). Some of the people I train with actually describe the place as their "church", I assume because of the community, and because it is where they go to turn their brains off. A lot of the guys I train with are religious (maybe even conservative) but they are still willing to accept a heathen like me.

Really?

I don't know if this Andy Signore guy was an SJW male feminist before he got MeTooed, but this video gave me Richard Carrier flashbacks. The guy (who started Screen Junkies) was accused by a young nerd mistress in the wake of Harvey Weinstein. Signore releases all of the e-mails, texts and blurred nude pics the alleged victim sent him.

You know he's innocent because he's pouting in the thumbnail.

The white-shaming starting at around 2:00 is quite something. Note the embarrassing spanked puppy behaviour from the gimp. The interaction between entitled female activists and white "allies" looks just like Domme/submissive interaction to me. I think there is a lot of truth to the theory that intersectional rhetoric directed toward men is subconscious shit testing.

As far as catholics go - most of them do not follow the doctrine or even pay much attention to what the clergy tell them to think. A large percentage of them are even progressive on issues like divorce or abortion (which they should find problematic if they were paying attention).

More of a defacto ortho-praxy than a doxy.

Amazing what can be done in an environment where people understand not to ask too many questions. (Or at least not ask the wrong sort of questions).

Ah well 'Do What Thou Wilt' as that Plymouth Brethren guy used to say. (Though he may have been lapsed).

Matthew Facciani also covers the 'dying atheist churches' story, but without the hysterics of Heidi Mehta or the foam-flecked ravings of her pharyngulite hordlings.
