    I don’t see anything wrong with any of it. Why is thinking or speaking of any of those things being framed as a negative?

      Exactly, thinking and talking about these things is perfectly alright and at 20 they are all quite new to you, so it’s very reasonable to be excited about them.

        How dare young people not appreciate the intricacies and nuance of the world? Harrumph! I say.

      None of those things are negatives, this is just anti-intellectualism. Maybe OP has been corrected by douches in the past. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks OP is trying to normalize shaming critical thinking while finding like-minded individuals.

        Or this is an attempt at even more critical thinking, i.e. “These are fine concepts, but if you don’t reckon with the context of what you’re talking about before throwing one of these out because it kinda fits you actually bring conversations down and keep people from exchanging more pertinent ideas and information.”

        They probably could have communicated that better if that was their intent, but that’d probably kill any humor potential which was probably more of a priority here.

            Fair enough, just to be clear this was just my own initial reaction to this meme and I have not done any investigation into whether OP is an asshat or not, and this is the sort of thing an asshat-y person could say

      Yeah I’ve noticed an uptick in atheists on lemmy recently, I don’t support religon at all because of dogma but I also will never support atheism either

          He’s stereotyping atheists as the kind of people to act the way the character in the meme does.

            No I’m saying that athiests also typically post these kinds of memes typically the athiest Community on reddit and the side of the athiest Community that attacks, mocks argues in bad faith and enact online witch-hunts

            And just to make it clear I’m not athiest and I do not support religons

          The athiest Community particularly on reddit liked to frame things negatively and mock and attack people through generalisations

          This image shares that and that’s what I noticed and decided to make my comment on that

          I probably should have mentioned in my previous comment that I noticed the similarities

          These topics mentioned in the image have no reason to be framed in a negative light because they are not inherently negative

          Anyone can use them for any intention, good or bad

          And some of them can be used in discussion about scientific topics

          I’ve noticed that athiests claim they support science but they still mock and attack anyone using science to constructively criticise them or scientific claims they support

          Science needs to have criticism, praise and discussion from all sides, not just one
