Prager is calling it Green religion: link Sam Harris is calling it 'anti-racist': ▶ this video Tim Pool is calling it the "woke religion": link Douglas Murray is calling it "woke religion" as well: link Over the last 2 years it has become rather clear that a new religion has formed. We should welcome them, let them enjoy freedom of religion and public association. Obviously this new religion is Marxism, intersectionality is the corner stone of their religious tenancy. When marxism died in 1989, country after country adopted capitalism. It's a matter of time for socialism to be snuffed out. The "social justice warriors" are the religious fanatics. Virtue signaling is no different what christians do in church. Their secrecy is in large party due to China and Tiananmen Square(massacre of the capitalists) but also why they are becoming a religion. China is antireligion so they can't be open with their beliefs, but China adopting capitalism and free trade zones and the eventual elimination of communism has put them on notice. I think it's great though. Perhaps we can do an Israel thing for the new religion. Not occupy someone else's land like Israel but perhaps they can build a new giant city under the tenants of marxism? We could make it a free trade zone. Perhaps in the north of Canada? Perhaps middle of the desert in nevada? Whatever. All the adherents of the new religion could then move to this new city and everyone gets equal outcome. Everyone is treated equally. You dont ge

link Obama is a very smart dude. 2 years ago he saw it building and he misidentified this as activism. John Mcwhorter I believe better identified this as a religion: link As an atheist you see the same pattern often. Here's a hour long video of sam harris and john talking about it: ▶ this video This new religion has the christians, muslims, atheists, and others all worked up. It's unusual for a new global religion to form, nothing there to really prevent it. The big difference this time is they got really big while remaining undercover. I guess my prediction as well. You could become a preacher for this new religion, set for life to serve. Just need to figure out how to. If you do try this, make sure you are following the golden rule every day. Make sure you're 100% positivity. Try to merge religions, I'm pretty sure 'coexist' is a big part of this.

Yea, but then it become a religion. It has all the features except for redemption. "John McWhorter: The Neoracists": link "The New Religion Of Anti-Racism": ▶ this video "Wokeness: old religion in a new bottle": link

Unfortunately it's been going on for a long time. For example, why was OJ Simpson's verdict met with adulation when everyone knew he was guilty? That's the first thing that popped in my head when I read their last paragraph about lying to ourselves, though I admit I just listened to a podcast where Sam Harris or John McWhorter bring OJ up: ▶ this video ("Sam Harris' podcast: The New Religion of Anti_Racism")
