There hasn't been a new Harry Potter book in decades, and Fantastic Beasts basically took cyanide when Crimes of Grindelwald came out, only thing keeping this franchise alive is fanfics
Sadly I'm still going to hear "Oh she gives to LGBT Charities, she just doesn't agree with transpeople on EVERY little thing, doesn't mean she's a transphobe."
I find when I explain my Buddhist leanings that Atheists get confused and think I am an atheist who just likes lighting "prayer candles" for the lulz and that my talk of being reborn into the Pureland is some wacky metaphor.
If there wasn't more to this than I should never have been born in the first place.
They want people to associate African Americans with drugs, Latin Americans and Hispanics with rapes, transpeople with pedophilia, and Leftists with disorderly conduct in order to have excuses to arrest these people.
It's why they take an "Aww shucks" attitude everytime a Right Winger shoots up a Kindergarten, they don't want that connection being made
Basically.. my reaction to hearing the good word of Atheism was to cling to New Age as hard as possible and believe the Skeptics were just miserable and calling anything inconvenient to their beliefs "Psuedoscience"
That lasted... a while... thankfully I'm not on the Spirit Science train anymlre
Now I'm a Buddhist and am learning to be cool with the temporary nature of existence and am looking forward to rebirth in the Pure Land.
The Problem with New Atheism is that humans need hope and hope isn't something Dawkins offers.
She's a woman with a will of her own, that's enough for anyone on the Right to hate her.
What I really can't stand though is when they try to pretend she's dumb. I mean when we on the Left call Trump a moron, we can actually point to things he did and said. When they try to paint AOC as an airhead, they mostly just repurpose old blonde jokes to be about AOC, there's never anything she actually did or said that they bring up.
"It's my turn." was everything wrong with Hillary's campaign in a nut shell.
How the fuck are you able to make yourself look like an unhinged ego-maniac who just wants to be President for the sake of being President, when you're running against Trump? That shouldn't be possible.
That's not how America works. Only Democrats and Republicans can actually get elected at the level AOC plays at, because the electoral college only recognizes Democrats and Republicans.
