Dawkins and Epstein

Post by Tessa K »

Not only is Dawkins a racist misogynist, he's also an Epstein defender. Long read:

Doesn't change my opinion of Dawkins, who's been down the rabbit hole for a long time

I went off Dawkins a long time ago - specifically when he gave that TED talk suggesting atheists should rebrand as “brights”. Then his stirring up sh.t against Rebecca Watson was even worse with the whole “liftgate” b.llsh.t. I haven’t paid that close attention to him since, but urgh.

It doesn't change my opinion of him except maybe to make it worse
