So you're a man who is literally doing the most to derail a topic and mock the existence of a term used prominently by black women in another thread? Get. your. life, boy. Jesus.
because the term woman/women already exists, the word "womyn" is a term for an ideology movement. And let's not act as if all black women use that term, it's those in that political minority that wants to segregate from the rest instead of integrate and be equals with them. Get. the. difference. Zeus.
also this video is unrelated with atheists YouTubers, but I think it's interesting how Estonia is only less than 30% religious, and they have the highest economy boost since 1991 as well as one of the greatest education system in Europe!
Videos like the Huffington video on Islam are so tiring. Blatantly lying to its viewers about the very obvious doctrine of Islam that involves the murder of non belivers. Like, I am currently reading it all by myself yet they still have the audacity to lie to me
Also, the "out of context" excuse doesn't even make sense in Islam since everything I read so far doesn't even have proper storie, just praises for allah and the constant thread of fire with the occasional hateful verse thrown in. And in what context would killing gays etc. actually be ok?
These people are truly doing no one a favor. The videos seem to be directed at people who actually hate muslims and those people have that mindset and won't change it no matter what. They'd spend their time more productively if they looked at Islam in an honest and critical way, owning up to what's wrong with it and then shed light on reformers in the muslim world and support them. All of this would have a much more beneficial effect than mindlessly defending Islam in a deliberately deceitful way.

It's almost like secularism nearly always correlates with economic revolutions and it's impossible to bring secularism to war zones where huge portions of the population can't read or something.

Agreed, especially with the last half

there are countries that are secular, yet still have little-to-average economic boosts, my country being one of them, since people are very conservative and religious, our right-wing goverment uses religious classes in public school and also censored the more educational program that our previous left-wing goverment wanted to teach in public school, such as sexual education, topics about LGBT stuff, etc. but because catholic lobbies are still very powerful, they stopped them and since conservatism has grown so much. It's disgusting. Especially since Croatia is secular, yet violates secular rules that other countries, such as mentioned Estonia, use. And that goes with other countries, which are even worse. The more countries have and are controlled by religious majorities, the worse it is for any economical and educational progress that the less religious countries have in comparison! These are just facts that irreligious countries have better living environment.
I wonder if the people who say stuff like "every white person is racist" realise they are actually spouting racism themselves? To think there are teachers who "teach" this to their students is completely terrifying to me we can only hope the students are smarter than the teacher in this case.

Hopefully the students have access to the internet so they can educate themselves.

racism would mean if a person hates or would take away their rights because of their race. Nowdays you get called racist for saying facts such as black magic not being real and having scientific evidence to show how weather works, because it's "their culture" so "it's true, and you're being racist!" as an example in that video. The same exact mess when christians use creationism as being real, only they can't use the racist card

ff I saw the "black magic" video you're refering to. she tried it
The fact she grabbed her tablet not a second after she called Western science pathetic and praised black magic.
How oblivious can someone be?
The leader of the group called it a "progressive space" as well
New Blaire White video. I don't even know that much about Lauren and I've seen her say some things I definitely don't feel the same about but the heaviour of these peeple is simply pathetic.
The girl at 4:47 thinks she is so smart and edgy it really made physcially cringe
The whole free speech debate got me thinking about something I've seen Sam Harris mention before; the laws against Holocaust-denial laws in Europe.
When I first heard of this in school I was really in favor of them because obviously I thought to myself why should someone be allowed to say something this vile but now I'm starting to question whether "you can say everything but..." is really free spech. Thoughts?

I wanted to make a thread on this story a week ago, but decided not to post anything really since it would be so cringleworthly seeing SJWs of ATRL defend this and calling Lauren Southerns "transphobic" when she literally made a video showing support to actual transgender people. That fat chick and that "agender" or whatever that is, guy who attacked a woman are so disgusting. I felt embarrassed as an LGBT person having those people speak on behalf of my community. It just goes to show how I hate labelling myself as anything because people tend to judge other people as a group, which I don't like and I always see people as indivuduals instead. And the fact these SJWs label themselfs as "liberals" yet fight against freedom of speech which helped liberalism grow during more conservatives times, and to this day is still being punished in some countries. They are so stupid and annoying, I wish we could replace this retards with atheists ex-muslims who live in the Middle East and can't get out of the closet of the fear of being murdered or jailed. These SJWs are lucky to live here, especially in Canada. The actual privilage these uglies have over other people.
I said it before, I'm not a fan of "free speech" or at least the "free speech" that these people (both leftist and right wingers) promote. I think that many of our problems nowadays come from our excessive lifestyle and freedom. People have no limits anymore. They want to do whatever they want, they want so say whatever they want but our society needs norms and rules. This is just my opinion and I'm not saying that we should destroy freedom of speech but we definitely live in extreme times and people don't know how to use their free speech. Our society (the western society) has gone too far. We need to balance our society. You can't tell millions of people that they can be and do whatever they want. Are we really surprised that our birth rates are terrible? That our generation doesn't want to build families anymore even though we desperately need more children? That HIV rates are rising, that everyone is promiscuous af, that people don't care about real racism, homophobia etc. anymore, that our society is split between left and right wing extremism and that young kids think they're Demigender and sapiosexual? The media needs to calm down too. Our media promotes unrealistic and unhealthy expectations. I'm really scared for our country and for the western world. These leftists, right wingers, libertarians, religious extremists scare me.
I can't speak for America but Germany needs a new political party. We need a centrist party (our current "centre" christian party is not a centrist party even though they promote it in their slogan) One with progressive ideas but not this current leftist mess where they fight against words because they're so offended by it, for non-gender pronouns etc., one that promotes certain moral values and so on. Or even better: we should become a one or two party system with interest groups in the background who promote certain interests of our society like gay rights or whatever. I'm really tired of the current system, of extremism, real homophobia, religion, SJWs, libertarians, mental laziness etc. It's a never ending story. And once again, I'm not against freedom of speech. I don't even know what exactly my problem is or if freedom of speech is my main problem. Maybe it's not. I think it's our culture. Idk. I hope my text made sense.

Egalitarian is really the only label that has no negatives attached to it atm.

I understand where you are coming from with the idea that excess freedom is too much to handle for some people but I still think more freedom generally equals better societies (or at least that's what we've seen historically). I think it's important to note that this freedom is still relatively new to society. It takes time to fully recognize problems such as HIV rates and understand how they come to be and work against them. I don't think that's enough reason to counter freedom.
We definitely need a change of parties in Germany, but sadly I see the SPD as no good either.
We really have no proper options. Die Grünen are mostly a joke and AFD is appaling in both its hatred and stupidity. CDU really is the best we have at the moment even though they ****ed up big time last year.
I mean if you like rules so much apply them to yourself but don't force anyone to abide by them^
I honestly hate this ideology because that's how it works here. I simply don't want to be ruled by religion.
I think as people we're drawn to rules and order. When there are no rules or order, then there is chaos. When there is chaos, people want rules and order.
The problem is that we want to live by our own rules. We don't like being told what we can't do. Perhaps your issue isn't with rules itself, but other people's rules.

I agree with most things, but you made it seem to dark and negative. World population today is the biggest one in human history and it's rapidly growing. Western society is progressive and is mostly focused on research, science, exploration, etc. while third world countries are poor, so they focus on having family and religion. Western people still have children, from one child to two or max. three, meanwhile other parts of the world have minimal 7 kids
Third world countries have jobs mostly for food, and those educated ones end up being doctors. But they don't have money to spend on jobs for tech. medicine, etc. that first world does. And don't worry about people eventually not existing, it's in human biology that when people rapidly decrease due to war or a big desease, the next generation expects a huge baby boom and the population grows back.

yeah, religions have bad laws. Political laws can reform, religious can't, so the best way is to drop the religious views back where they belong: in the past with other religions that came and disappear.

Strangely enough I have heard a lot of relgious people talk about this almost in a bragging fashion.
As in: "our holy book hasn't been altered in centuries" and I always wonder why anyone would consider this to be a good thing especially given its content.

yeah, religious laws did reform, but then the concept of religion and "God" goes into water when humans can change "God's word".

I don't think the religious laws themselves reformed the rise of reason just made people come to the conclusion that following religious morality gets us nowhere.
