The Reformist Left
To educate people on how to prevent being exploited in a market system.
Do not say to others what you would not say to yourself.
Have fun.

The following was deleted by a mod on r/atheism for shaking the evangelism of their superficial understanding of their own worldview. I'd like to note that I myself am an Anti-Theist.
I'd like to recategorize a few things to package the core message of Atheism.
I strongly feel that there has been a few misconceptions regarding terminology, so let's make a table:
| Yes | No ---|---|---- God's Existence | Deism | Adeism Do We Know Its Laws? | Theism | Atheism
Step 1 is to prove an unfalsifiable hypothesis — there is no evidence For or Against it, so the hypothesis remains as good as imaginary, so it's best to remain "agnostic", because we simply have no data on what was before the universe; it could have been a Quantum Vacuum, or an ever repeating timeline of the same universe, or we're part of a multiverse. Nobody knows.
Step 2 is quite simple for us. Noting that we don't know enough to say whether god exists, we sure as hell cannot know what this hypothetical entity wants from us. The knowledge, or at least, the inference of what god wants from us would mean we proved god exists, in order to be sure that the way existence works is orchestrated by a divine force. The more we understand, the smaller becomes this God of the Gaps.
Now, I know the initial definition of Deism is: "God created the universe, but he left it alone and doesn't intervene," but I'm sure the definition is wide enough to be included in our table above.
So, let's summarize with an example:
You can be a Deistic Atheist, which would mean you believe God exists (somehow, you have this evidence, congratulations), but you acknowledge that you don't and/or cannot know what it wants from you.
Play mix and match with the categories to your heart's content for amusing what-ifs.
The most reasonable position to hold is to be 99.99[...]9% certain that the argument of "God did it" is as plausible as any other hypothesis of the pre-universe for which there is no evidence, and, given that we can't possibly know what an unproven entity wants from us, Deity-Agnostic Atheism should be what one identifies with.
As for the definition of this deity? It's too broad a title. We can certainly be "Adeistic" about Jehovah or whatever, as these were Bronze-age human attempts at describing a hypothetical supreme organism with a very anthropomorphic set of features to project onto it, often endowing this character with emotions deriving from a human's experience with harsh resource scarcity.
So, there is no God as we describe. This character is our ancestors' application of our evolved brain to infer about the order of existence: there is always a stronger beast, and its violence is the law of the land.
I probably don't need to go into the core fear that drives all this: Death Anxiety.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let's make one thing abundantly clear:
Collective Responsibility is a Fascist concept.
It is to place shared blame on involuntary members of an in-group on the merit of them being members of the in-group.
Just as one does not share his brother's individual accomplishment, neither should one share responsibility for his brother's individual crime.
To end discrimination based on painting with a broad brush, we must discriminate on the merit of individuals acting individually.
Unless we are dealing with a cult founded on pulling in people of a shared idea, one that is driven by causing harm and danger to others, we must not judge entire groups of people on resemblances, whether physical or ideological, at least not without extensive inquiry and empirical evidence that a certain trait (e.g. sociopathy/psychopathy) or a certain idea (e.g. Holy War) is enough to merit to discriminate against the group.
The only privilege people have or do not is money, education, behaviour, and high value features in the so-called "sexual market" (derived exclusively from healthy genes and having grown up eating high nutrient diets in efficient amounts).
Ethnicity is not grounds for preference or dismissal in civilised society.
Given a recent attempt at a smear campaign, I felt it was necessary to clarify a few things, in point form:
• The Alternative Left was made by many different people worldwide who were dismissed for being left-wing but in opposition to Identity Politics, which is a factor seen collectively by almost all Alt-Left groups as a distraction mechanism against the real culprit: economic inequality — social inequality being its side-effect, and not what ought to be the main target;
• Many branches of the Alternative Left have popped up all over the Internet, almost all of them as separate entities;
• The Russians working for the Internet Research Agency / Glavset are infiltrating online political groups left, right, and center, and the Russian Fascist ideology called National Bolshevism also tries to identify itself as an "Alternative Left" ideology, despite being perhaps the cheapest knock-off rebranding of National Socialism — as a result, you'll find them pushing their articles disguised as scholarly works all throughout Alternative Left facebook groups, blogs, and even here (except, they cannot get past me, as I block them immediately and remove their shilling material;
• I have the uttermost contempt for Fascism, and I've written a psychological profiling of how a Fascist thinks on Medium.com titled "Inside the mind of a Fascist", in order to identify them and corrode their ideology;
• I am an enemy of Social Justice Warriors for the same reason, as I've observed the exact same template among them that I've observed among those with Fascist states of mind, and so it is of no surprise to me that I am labeled a Fascist by these despicable cult members.
And how could I forget?
#RULE 3:
#Accusing the leaders of the sub, or the sub itself of harbouring far-Right sympathies such as discrimination on the merit of elements with which a person was born (genetics, financial situation), will result in a permanent ban.
#This is not a Fascist subreddit, and the leadership is growing less and less tolerant of Fascists as this collective does not appear to be anything more than a cult (Stalinism included, mainly because it's NazBol disguised as Marxism).
#Criticism of culture in no way means criticism of biological category, but is instead a criticism of a combination of currents of education within a geographic region.
