Jim Goad on the Richard Dawkins cancellation: “Then they came for the atheists…”

Jim Goad writes:

That’s tremendously righteous of you, Mr. No God. But the plank in your eye is the fact that you’ve gullibly lied prostrate before pseudo-religious terms such as “misogyny” and “homophobia” and have “strongly condemned” them with all the chest-thumping fervor that religious zealots decry sodomy and faggotry. For all your posturing as a rationalist, your thinking shows a laughable gullibility toward progressive mysticism. (…)

In the intersectional status wars that are arranged by the cult of progressivism, the atheists have lost to the Muslims. But the progressives will eventually capitulate to and be swallowed up by the Muslims for the simple reason that progressives are weak and Muslims aren’t. However inbred they may be and despite rather unimpressive mean IQ scores, Muslims aren’t nearly so dumb as to come up with a concept such as “progressophobia.” At least they’re smart enough to have a survival instinct.
