What matters is what people think it was like Even guys who lived during the Cold War like Alan Moore were already crazy and thinking that their governments were pure evil

An ideology that's got its followers grouped together The moment they unite or form an association or organization, is for me when they can start going crazy and possibly corrupt Think McCarthyism, for them becoming hypocrites who suppress freedom of speech and expression is something they...

After awhile, if people have self awareness to realize that, they may still have doubts regarding them thinking whether or not 2+2=4 or 5 The “solution” would be them killing their own sense of reason and betraying their own values and becoming an “altruist” Who will follow whatever cult...

Does it take into account for the people who have the worst combination of evil, dumb and perhaps with little self control?

Well then, what about taking what you think is good and mixing it with things like this modern game theory thing Charity in itself can also be a “selfish” act

What about Objectivism by Ayn Rand?

Sure there maybe no actual consequences, but they'd still be afraid of whatever imaginable consequences there could be

Unfortunately, I don't think anybody'd take someone just outright saying "I like getting money and being successful" as a motivation

Yeah, that said, the views of other people, even if heavily biased and misinformed would make them think terribly of them Odds are they believe that they’re all Andrew Ryans in the waiting

Unfortunately, that sounds like leaving things to fate Sure, it would be logical, beneficial and near inevitable for people to do things like learn economics But it’s still a chance, people MIGHT just choose not to learn it all Same for being nice and tolerant of others, there’s a feeling of...

Would I be wrong to say that modern Atheism has too many elements of "Collectivisation" or "Centralisation"? I think there's an obsession with needing other people to work together to achieve things rather than trying things out by yourself As well as requiring that people doing "Good Things"...

Blame Hollywood for making them an underdog Speaking of Atheism and it being Left Aligned Why is it so concerned and controlling about and for the sake of “Others”? Ayn Rand’s idea of “For Others” involves being yes-men and unquestioning followers and repeated belief that what they are doing...

They’ve been indoctrinated by Hollywood and want to just keep giving the middle finger to their parents or grandparents who in the first place are more understanding and tolerant or have grown MUCH more understanding and tolerant by their own

From what I can tell regarding Western-Left-Aligned-Atheists, their politics maybe close enough to their religion. They'll keep going on about crusades and inquisitions whilst weirdly enough being in love with Islam more than any other religion they bash and "satirise"
