Man... the Atheism movement is so fucked.
Christopher Hitchens died.
Daniel Dennett died.
Sam Harris' brain probably turned to mush over his obsession with Trump. Can't remember the last time I heard him say a word on Atheism related topics. He will occasionally attack Islam if prompted, but it has only been if the topic is Israel-Gaza. I haven't heard him say something about UK's issues for instance. So conclusion, Sam Harris is useless now.
Richard Dawkins (was my personal favorite of the bunch) is literally afraid to speak anymore. He's been given the opportunity to talk on the UK Muslim thing, and he just refused.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali literally declared herself Christian, because she realized Atheism got completely cucked.
That's what happened with the "horseman of Atheism".
Now let's look at some of the minor figures.
David Silverman was literally falsely MeToo-ed out of the movement, and went into selling insurance or something like that. By his claims, he's making good money.
Matt Dillahunty went locco even before Harris, and I think was involved in canceling Silverman.
Seth Andrews, I've stopped following him a while ago out of boredom, but I occasionally see some of his episode titles, and it doesn't inspire confidence that his brain is still fully functional. He's not innocent on the Silverman thing either. But at least he was just a cucked that believed all women, and wasn't an attack dog.
TJ Kirk... Need I say more?
Hemant Mehta is a douchebag creep (by my own experiences).
Aron Ra, turns out he's also a complete scumbag. Also got involved in cancelling people.
Thunderf00t's brain has broken over his obsessions with Elon and Trump. He hasn't done anything Atheism related maybe for a decade.
Hugo and Jake... one got so fat that he gaslight himself into thinking he's trans, and the other went insane (literally put on a banana suit in the middle of an online debate).
The Armoured Skeptic is the weirdest conspiracy theorist you've met. Complete "history isn't what they tell you it is" levels. Not Antisemitic mind you, so no claims of false history surrounding that. Just everything else.
C0ct0pus (from the Goddamn Podcast) now does weird drama streams about some random fat ugly bastards.
And there's so many other small YT channels I'm still aware of that just disappeared since forever ago.
Like seriously, from the biggest figures in the movement, to the smallest guys I know, they either died, became deranged, or just moved on to something else and abandoned the cause.
@berkberkman Didn't follow him. And he was pretty much always a shit stain on the internet. He's likely better known for feminism activism than atheist activism.

Stopped listening to Atheist Experience around 2017-2018 and it was headed in that direction. I only mentioned Dillahunty in my rant, but all of them started losing it.
Literally heard the worst argument for abortion on that show. Forgot how it went exactly, but the essence was that a body's normal biological processes somehow violate that body (pregnancy itself was somehow rape). In which case, I realized that in the same vein one could argue for the right to abort feces (if you can argue "I didn't consent to my body becoming pregnant, even if I chose to have sex", you can argue "I didn't give consent to my body making me shit, even if I chose to eat food"). And if your argument can become that absurd, clearly something has to be wrong. Stopped listening to the show that day.

Don't know who Shanny is. Razor is on YouTube and Rumble too. He's cool. Never watched Styx enough to get a good sense of what kind of person he is.
