Because the conservative party in the UK, much like the republican party in the US, knows that because of shifting demographics and because it has no real plan to address real problems they know they wont be able deny the existance of any longer, is about to start losing election after election. Instead of coming with actual plans and attempting to do anything with their power other than looting your pockets, they've decided to resort to the most basic and fascistic scapegoating by pandering to our tribalistic instincts. They just point to another group and blame them for all the problems they had a hand in creating.

"It's not our fault, it's those dirty _____!"

-liberals
-blacks
-immigrants
-gays
-jews
-trans people
-atheists
-muslims
-indians
-women

(Pick one, or create your own scapegoat)

It'll be a blowout as long as you motherfuckers show up to vote against him and any other republicans on your ticket

I mean I understand the anger. I think every atheist deals with it at some point. But you gotta move on and let that shit go. I'm getting old now and it's just tiresome. I'm not interested in tribal BS. I'm interested in chatting with folks who see the world through the same lens I do without that shitty sense of superiority so many atheists seem to have.

Gotta boost Beau.

Fair enough, I'll try to tone it down in the future.

Disunity will lose us this election. We don't have the luxury of being picky about our candidates here. The alternative to Biden is fascism, full stop. Anyone who presents themselves as opposed to Christian fascism but continues to oppose Biden (especially with factual inaccuracies) tends to make me doubt their honesty, or their intelligence. And it should make everyone here suspicious as well.

How is this sad, exactly?

I've never liked r/atheism because it just felt like it was mostly populated by teenaged edgelords that treated atheism like a subculture they were into at the moment. Pizza-cutter atheists, all edge and no point.
Everyone else was butthurt and chronically angry. I'd like to see more activism, more community building, more maturity. Less butthurt.

If he thought the building was unimportant enough that writing his dumbass name on it was nbd, what the fuck was doing wasting his time there in the first place? Why did he think all the other tourists were there?

This is good news, but I worry that folks on the left might be lulled into a false sense of security. We won't be done fixing Trump and MAGA's mess for years to come and we'll need every last vote and any help that can be given. I really believe complacency got us here and it will destroy this country if we let it.

I bought one of these pizzas. I wanted to try some place I hadn't before. It might as well have been "pizza" from a poorly funded school lunch. It was bad enough that I got curious about "CEC Entertainment" that was on the fine print of the box. Motherfuckers got me...

Fucking nazis...
