why were these beliefs so popular online in the early 2010s?  why did people love gays so much and think it was cool and 'hip' to support gay marriage, even nominally right-wing people? they also supported legal weed, legal prostitution, legal porn, legal euthanasia, going on about j.s mill's 'harm principle'.  this ideology was everywhere, on both the left and the right. there was a lot of overlap with new atheism, with the amazing atheist and kyle kulinsky, who i both watched, representing the left-wing tendency.  it basically say religion and social conservatives of all stripes as the enemy. there was room for disagreement on economics but anybody who didn't support gay marriage was a 'bigot'.  others were nominally 'conservatives' who saw supporting gay marriage as a way to make themselves with the times and get young people. because of course, they wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of history for the next civil rights struggle. and so therefore, with establishment support, they sold out on everything 'conservatives' were supposed to 'conserve'.  this lolbertarian worldview is literally everything wrong with our modern age. it seems the absolute epitome of the establishment. i really hate the new atheist libertarians for directly facilitating wokeism, pushing cultural leftism in right-wing spaces. the whole new atheist movement was a cancer. am i making things up in seeing libertarianism and new atheism as connected? or are my observations correct? do you think there's still remnants of this ideology in maga which is why trump is cucked on the gay issue?
