That said though. I have more sympathy towards minority cultures and religions that have suffered great injustice. On the other hand I have nothing but contempt for Christianity.

I always took the trope as metaphor for anti-authortarianism in general. Kind of hard not to see the similarities between say the Abrahamic god and 20th century dictators.

Somebody has to KILL the “Kill the gods” trope in mainstream fiction. This (suicidal) obsession with destabilising the divine order of the cosmos is juvenile. Ants have a better chance of killing us than us killing any God.

I should've saw the warning signs in the early 2010s when I use to be a 'new atheist', it's such a shame that many of these so called 'new atheists' are Pro-Imperialist and Pro-Israel, Anti-muslim and Anti-Trans activists and many of them going back to fundie christianity.

official govt social media accounts are basically doing the postmodern equivalent of nazi propaganda for the whole world to see and the reaction in establishment media is to outright ignore it. it shouldn’t be a passing comment. they should be beating it over everyone’s heads just how alarming it is

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

UNRWA @unrwa.org · 7d

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

New from me: The notion that Charlie Kirk represented speech “done right” is a smokescreen manufactured specifically to distract from the single greatest attack on free speech in the 21st century. Kirk wasn’t simply offering an opinion, he was right-wing power personified.

Charlie Kirk and the Free Speech Hoax

The Right doesn't really care about free speech, and their reaction to the murder of Charlie Kirk proves it.

Having been educated on how nazi Germany went and how the U.S. embraced nazis so fucking hard and how capital reaaaally loves nazis...I see no reason we should worry about the left and minorities being their main focus. This is fine...These bigots should have worldwide power.

Some day I should do my full rant about the Avatar movies.

Sully is literally just a colonial power fantasy in which an impotent white man gets to live as a virile indigenous man. It is patriarchal, racist, fatphobic BS masquerading as a liberation narrative.

The reason these censorship laws get to pass and most people let it slide is because most everyday people are still ashamed of sex. They don't want to talk about it, or admit that it deserves protection. They see it as "gross" when it's completely natural. It's fucking absurd

Being an atheist is an admission that we DONT have the answer to life’s deepest questions, rather than trying to fill them with fairytales.

I can’t tell you where the universe came from, I can tell you for sure that a unicorn did not sneeze it out.

hobgoblin of spooky mind @bigblueguitar.bsky.social · 12d

AFAIC, being an atheist is an inherently arrogant position; it presumes an individual has the answers to some of our deepest questions. It's the mirror to deists who revile secular humanism. I consider being an agnostic the only respectful position for a nonreligious person: I doubt, but don't know
