Did Dawkins get cancelled or something?

@mewmew Yeah, he committed some wrongthink apparently. I haven't looked into it but he's a racist now or something.

@shebang also apparently "new atheism" is a religion because considering religion as something that's harmful makes you a religion also
@shebang oh I see, he got cancelled for saying something completely reasonable, and then people ignored all nuance to make him look bad
@mewmew
unpopular opinion but this is gross. humans aren't cattle and eugenics has a stigma for a reason. if there's an existential threat to our survival that eugenics would mitigate, perhaps
@shebang
@georgia @shebang well, that's his point. He's saying that while eugenics does work, we shouldn't do it, but denying that it works isn't a good thing to do.

@mewmew Hard left coomed because they have another opportunity to cancel Dawkins and the hard right coomed because they took a banal statement on eugenics as an endorsement of their dumb ideas. @georgia @shebang
