You’re probably for Sanders right? Well okay then. I’m in.

I don’t just like this place, I need this place; especially right now. I am excited for the future and getting to know all the other writers and new commenters too. It was also fun to be a part of the build up over at the pub.

Since a lot of my favorite bloggers didn’t post very often (I like to say “quality over quantity”), it was an easy way to see whether to visit them, and I could ignore the blogs I didn’t like. The current FTB scheme of showing the “most recent” articles (for some inscruitable definition of “most recent”) privileges the more prolific bloggers.

Also, the organization structure sounds a bit like Holacracy, which is a system designed to make organizations run smoothly without a “boss”. They might have some tips that The Orbit would find useful!

@exi5tentialist

Why do you think religion is a response to “alienation under capitalism”?

Also, you say:

“And anti-theism can sound like hatred when you don’t explain what you mean by it”

But I don’t see how. It’s just anti something. If I say I’m anti-false beliefs does that sound like hatred? How about “anti-capitalism”?

Also that is ironic because the people who really need to explain what they even mean are the anti-capitalists. Anti-capitalists never seem to get around to demarcating “capitalism” from non-“capitalism” in any sensible way. (I won’t call you hateful for being an anti-capitalist though)
